1.) I have always focused on missions that would be playable episodes. Since we are skipping Southern Cross (Merely for the present time as most of those episdoes are GROUND BASED) that only leaves the 36 episodes of Macross plus the 20ish episodes of Next Generation (Mospedia). Also included will be the 5 sentinels books (extremely broken down).
2.) The priority is MESHES! all missions are heavily dependant on the new content. I dont play the game of fredding a mission with 90% stand in models. I fredded several missions with the original mod that are playable but will need to be converted over eventually to the new SCp engine format (meaning minor changes).
3.) Not may are available because team members keep popping in and out and only I have ALL the files. I prefer to work backwards and only list what NEEDS to be done. This serves two purposes. First to show how progress is being made (and what is holding development up). and two focuses work effort into those areas! I was going to update the current upload but because of a certain individual, many meshes we HAVE but were waiting to get fixed never got done and now it's been a year...
4.) I am continuiously working on this project equally with all my others. Trashman is in the same situation. Matthew is learning textures still and runs this site (and hosts the project files) so that's his contribution, for which we are grateful. Two other modlers head other engine projects (like HW2 and Shatterstar) and assist when they can but since they dont play FS2 they didn't want to officially join (but still receive full credits). So you can see why I keep searching for new members to keep a solid team together and get production where it should be for a mod of this magnitude.
5&6.) yeah all posts are mostly old cause we dont have much to say under development. I already mentione dwho was helping us out above and if you read the "To Do lists" posted in the sticky, you can see the modler's name vext to the meshes still to be done. I left the word DONE! in slots where the proper name used to be for previously listed modles. This was to show a mesh had been completed and taken off the list. There is no reason to list all the work that is already done (and part of teh fun is to see it in game anyway) only people who have followed the "to do list" since the beginning saw all the previous ships, plus I still have kept a few surprises secret (hopefully)...
I try not to get my hopes up too far as you see some people pop in , bother to register and say yo I want in for RTII, then they never come back...
I got nothing against that but it is rather frustrating since I have so little in the way of skills and most of the time I try to build bridges across other communities in regards to anime mods or Trek.
this should get you up to speed if you've read all the previous stickies and posts from the beginning (alter the settings to show "all posts" or "from the beginning")
When I join a new site in my controls/preferances I always do that so I can catch up on threads that catch my interest. Sometimes that is a killer to read through (like on spacebattles.com where you can have thousands of posts in a subject!).
