BETA II!!!!!

Well, being the newby to fleet ops that i am (i've only been playing since 3.0.3 i think, and only 3 months on the site) i decided to do a little fleet ops history. So for the last week instead of playing 3.15 i downloand and have been playing beta 2. and in one word- WOW, i was impressed by the beta 2 gamplay features and depth, in detail heres what i liked and disliked about it  ///

1. The NOXTER 
AWESOME, just plain awesome. if thats the beta 2 noxter gameplay i can't wait  for their return to the current verson. i really like the way they incorparated Melee attacks into the game,(Claws, stingers,) And the spore shock wave weapons. DIGEST ME Please.

2. The Breen Battleship -----
It was really sad to find out that we are still using the beta 2 model in the current verson(Back then it looked great) although my pain was relieved when i saw the battleship on the todo list

3.The Splash screen -------
In short i thought it was pretty cool to have the faction symbol on start up, and since have been trying to port it to 3.15

4. Descent class ------------
I have never seen a better example of pure resourcefullness in gaming

5. Avatars
NOOOOOOOO!!!

Final Word: Awesome
for anyone that hasn't been playing for that long i definately recomend playing it for the purly historical value(and the noxter) it'll also give you damm good since of respect for the current verson. considering how far the mod has come.

Yeah, I liked the splash screen too.  I wish somebody knew a way to add it back in.

The Obsidion Order no longer exists; it went extinct before the Dominion War.

What I liked the most on Beta II was basically the shell-animations (that Galaxy on the multiplayer-button... epic). When I played it back in 2003, I felt like playing something undone, and when I came back to it 2009 I was really impressed by the enormous progress the devs made in just 6 yeas, considering FO isn't a commercial project.

Yeah, the main menu was pretty awesome. Even if it was laid out just like stock.

I can't believe no-one ever told me about the Chor rush until after it was removed; just think of all the time I wasted on silly things like battleships and destroyers when I could have just fedrolled everyone with Constructors!

Build and Blast man.

I seem to recall you could mass insane numbers of the noxter moving turret and just roll over the enemy that way as well. 

Is that the one with the fusion cube?  the missile that destroys shields in 1 shot but does nothing after that?

wasnt it the scube that had the shield killing thing.

its still here, as devestating attack lol. just better.

Exactly what they want you to believe... muhahahahah

I started with Beta 2 - and yes, despite of certain imbalances like the Klingon constructor raided everything, the game made me starting to believe in the skills of Doca, Optec and Detektor. Since then I'm loyal...
