If I wanted to scare everyone then I could start a thread entitled - "Release 2 - Finished"

Also, don't forget with the first release the TBP team said that they were virtually finished for three weeks before. I know that made the release date seem sooner but unfortunately the last one or two things can't be left unfinished so the entire release must sometimes wait for them. That is one reason why the team got so pissed off at people constantly asking "is it done yet" when they themselves knew how close it was.

This is just a ramble really but suffice to say that when Release 2 comes, we will know about it and no doubt be online waiting for the second it is.

They'd better give us the best missions ever for Release 2.

I, unlike some people, could live without release 2. While I think it would be REALLY COOL to have, I have lived thus far without lightwave OR a GeForce 3, and it has spawned no ill effect, I'm pretty sure TBP 2.0 would be the same story.

Noooo, Lady Rose, it's not worth it!!!

Well, OK maybe that is an acceptable response to finding out that Release 2 is not coming

Ok, here's a bit of an update then, just so you know we haven't been twiddling our thumbs.

You've seen some of our models in the game such as the T-Bolt, the GOD, and the Omega. We've added the Midwinter Heavy Cruiser with custom turretes for the X-Ray lasers and CptWhte has been working every spare hour on Babylon 5, the biggest and most difficult texturing job we've encountered yet. Those are progressing along, gaining LODs, being worked on and tweaked.

We've created something like 20 new weapon entries (interceptor missiles, warheads, point defense turrets, x-ray lasers and particle beams) and we have a bunch more to enter before we're done there.

Ship stats have been modified and enhanced. When Release 2 gets closer, we'll be more specific. The Zephyr should be slightly more fun to fly as when were done, so all of those Raider campaigns will be a bit more playable.

There's still alot of work ahead before we release this pack. Again, I won't give dates because you'll hold us to them and we don't know what they are ourselves.

One thing is for sure, we're NOT releasing next month.
