The Beauty of Numbers

Aw yeah! I love this mod. Anxious to see what these "interceptors" are...methinks the Nova-class has found a place after all?

I don't think it's being added as a playable vessel, would be awesome as an Interceptor though

Nova is added as a future avatar unit

Interceptors are the short range units in general, such as Monsoon, B'rel, Negh'var etc

Hard to picture a Negh'Var scooting at high speed anywhere. Maybe it'll be an anti-assault capital ship?

Well, the Negh'var will probably have a speed of 120 (that's 10 faster than the Saber will have... now the Saber has 120/140 depending if Hyper Impulse is engaged). Still not comparable to the Monsoon's top speed or ... good lord... the B'rel's, but still  . Scoot away with disruptors ablaze! I guess you could say that it is good for closing in on those soon to be slow as Gre'thor Excel II's .

The interface seems to continueously be looking more like SFC3 interface. Am I the only one noticing this? Though I would like to know.... for new ships how do i design their individual system plates? And is there a certain way to manage all the icons? Plus what about if there is a large number of weapons.... could the icons be smaller? I would like to know all of this so that the ships I'm soon to realease are "next-patch-ready". Plus I would like a modding guide for all the new stuff so I don't screw up somthing.

the odf commands added to manage the stuff are rather self explanatory

Though how do I make custom system plates? Is there tga's for that two? Plus the recharge thing I would imagine to mean each has their own tga file.

On November 14th at 9:38 P.M. Greenwich Mean Time, patch 3.8 will come out.  It will be a dark and stormy night, with a low in the mid thirties (so around 0 degrees Celcius).  Thunder will CRACK and Lightning will FLASH outside Doca Cola's window, revealing a mysterious hand that moves a mouse and opens a file.... and then clicks "Upload"...

How's that for telling you WHEN it will happen.
