This is the latest list.
Kept secret since 1 month

[Django400]

That was hard knowing what will be done in this version but not talk about, i am really looking forward to hear all your thoughts about this version

[Q]

[Obi-2-Kenobi]

YES! no more secrets!!!!   IM FREE!!!!!!!

That is until the next release.......MUHAHAHAH..........crap

Congrats to everyone on the team, another milestone passed in the road to victory, a big round of applause to everyone, its been great working with you.    

[borgeater]

Shouldn't you put this on the front page?

[Q]

i think only jones can do that... and yes it should

[jones]

It's up now, i was spending some time with my family.  I've had a very long and stressful week of work, not to mention the death of my grandfather earlier this week, so it hasn't been the best of weeks for me.

Enjoy the new release guys!  It's a lot of fun to play, even for me who's been playing around with it all throughout the development phase.

[Q]

yes very fun, and im sorry for your loss

[Drakojan]

YESYESYESYESYESYEYSEYSYESYEYSEYSYESEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111  vAHUUUU!!!!!  Don´t expect me to post here in 48 hours! You know what am I gonna do!!

[Q]

 

[augrunt]

Congratulations guys... Nice to hear the mod is still moving forward, even without me lol

Jones is still pissed off with me ... Damn BFAM. He knows what it means, and jones. sorry to hear about your grandfather mate. I lost my grandmother just a year ago, partly why i needed to leave so fast (the project).


-- Edit --
also, I might come back. I've learnt a few new tricks and studied up on the stylings of FoC... I still think that the story of Star Wars will never ever really be ended. So what better way to keep learning programming then to keep expanding on the story?... also love the site, better than the joomla crap

[Prototype]

Whoa haven't seen you in ages man.  It's cool to see you like what's been going on.  Oh by the way in case some of you later folks dont know, Augrunt is the Mod Creator...the one who started it all.  I still rememebr the ol days of testing those releases on empireatwar.net

[augrunt]

lol, I remember that banner, i made it... the one ur using in your sig... for your "UEAW Player" thingie lol.

Userbar, thats it... my forum jargon is shot.

[evilbobthebob]

Wow...I didn't think you'd appear...anyway, welcome back.

Oh, and could someone add my Mechis 3 maps to the list of new maps? It's added to the planet list, but my maps aren't in the map list.

Yes, I know I'm being pedantic....

[Fynbos]

Uhm... guys?
This thread is about the release, not some people in particular.

But since this whole thing came up: Augrunt is not member of the team.

Oh, and could someone add my Mechis 3 maps to the list of new maps? It's added to the planet list, but my maps aren't in the map list.

Done.

[ALIENS]

Rebels and Consortium have SSD's....WTF?

[Solar]

it's a teaser, in other words screwed up.

[Darth Korr (Greiv55)]

Rebels and Consortium have SSD's....WTF?

After the Galactic Civil War the Rebels and Empire did...  Yet not Cons.
