Quite right. In SFB, we call them Multi-Warheads, or MWs for short.

The mauler is linked to all the batteries in the ship, just to give you an idea of its size. You guessed it: it's the whole ship.

Can somebody tell us if this patch is scheduled to be released in less than 30 days?

If not, EXACTLY WHOM do I request to be a tester from to help out? I'm here multiple times each day and my wife can attest to how much time I spend tweaking this game, its ships and spec files EVERY night, LOL.

Qapla!

Excellent. I know I'll be getting that patch post haste just as soon as it's released. BTW, how do I get on the mailing list to be informed of when it is released? I never bothered getting on the updates list because I could always find the patches at Interplay's site, but they've stopped providing lupport last I saw.

Check the Taldren announcements...Taldren will post in there when the patch is ready for download.

Taldren will also have download links for the patch in the announcement message. And those in the forums with web sites will no doubt put the patch up for downloading on their sites as well.

I've been hanging out mostly in the Off Topic for a while now, and have missed this thread until tonight...

I bought into OP when I realized it would have everything from EAW plus more, especially the Mauler (compatible with certain Hydran 'run up and kick 'em in the nuts' tactics...). I never looked back and haven't played EAW since. And I could care less about the 'canned' missions, I just wanna conquer the damn map.

I would just like to forward my appreciation and encouragement to all those working on this! Thank you very much.

Oh, and as for that <To be delivered in the hushed but excited voice of David Attenborough> post, Cleaven, I just laughed myself silly! Thanks, man.

The main requirement for being a tester? It's totally subjective. If you email Dave Ferrell, and ask nicely, he could let you into the testers group. However, it isn't very likely because there are plenty of testers. There are certainly enough that some were kicked out for getting on his bad side. There are probably more testers than actually test, thanks to holdovers from "the old days." It is my understanding some testers ask for and receive permission to let select non-testers have the test patches so they have some people to test with, but this is likely on a case-by-case basis, and not an open invitation to spam testers.

The folks who are in the group now by and large know the game very well and are good at testing for specific results or situations.

I'm only posting this to give my understanding of the way it works. I'm not a current tester, and I doubt there are any official policies on the matter of who is invited to test. There are also many SFC3 testers who were never SFC2 testers, and vice versa. The application to Activision for SFC3 testing has NOTHING to do with Taldren's semi-formal tester circle.

Spam testers?

Wot a revoltin' development.

Update please.

Work continues...

It's really almost there, but it will be done when it's done.

Thanks,

Dave
