(*) perhaps won't come to final public release )

We need testers to help balancing ships, statistics, weapons etc.
Currently you can fly on all models I wrote. But... we need more information about:
1. Weapons ( I need weapons count, their type,
strength, sounds or whatever you can help )
2. Energy consumption
3. Speed
4. Maneuverability
5. Combat distances

If somebody can help write to my e-mail. Testing will start in June or July.

If somebody can help with fixing textures we will be also very pleased.

If I can be of any use, I would be glad to help.

Good!
For today a finished Intrepid all weapons ( e.g. phaser banks and torp tubes ). It work perfect for me... But what is good for me may look ugly for someone else.

That's why I'm searhing for testers.

You can touch model even now ( not in July ). And if you are Linux user, you can check all my new fixes after 2-3 minutes I commit them :)

There are some technical stuffage connected with SVN, but I can teach anyone how to use it. It is as simple as typing VegaTrek in Google :)

If you are Windows user, we can build special package for you. If traffic is problematic, we can think about it together.

Anyhow, I'll post additional info and perhaps screenshots on these weekends. I'll also make special ( small ) package both for Linux and Windows users. Watch out for additional information.

um, can you please tell me where to get the new datasets? I'm on Linux, but only for about two weeks, so I'll need help getting the SVN to work.
Will be able to help testing it for the rest of May, won't have any time in Juny or July.

It's great! At least you are first person who want to help. This is like large healing potion for my soul :)

Cool!

PeteyG hasn't been around much lately, it's good to hear someone's still working on VegaTrek.

Tillias - sent you an email.

I think I can find all that info in the technical manuals. I don't have them all, but what I have could be useful (you could extrapolate the rest, if needed).

Though... I don't have much free time, so it could take longer than what you'd think - don't hold your breath.

And we all need to keep our breathe due to my "Need help" topic :)
Such a perfect models. I can't fall down from Fed Space to Earth for two hours :)

I would love to help. PM me

I would like to test.

Progress update:

Coming to finish line with models, weapons. After 12-15 th of July balancing journey starting. All are welcome ;-)

I have software experinece but have never helped in developing a game. I loved Kingon Academy. Please tell me what I need to read to get up to speed and help on this project?

I hope im in on the action. I pm- ed you tillias

First of all sorry to all :(
Have just arrived to my native city finally after 21 days journey.
I'm here, just need 3 days to accomodate to my city life ;-)

I will try to upload current VegaTrek package as soon as I can.
I will send to all who posted in this topic PMs with current VegaTrek package coordinates ;-)

Thanks. I am grateful for your dedication to the project

Not sure what kinda help I would be. But I am pretty good with photoshop and I got lots of free time to play and give feedback.

I have some models which are almost ready, but there are some "glow" maps needed for each ship. It is very easy to create them if you have 2-3 free hours a week ;-)

Watch out for forum update, tomorrow I will post official VegaTrek ship list and future models ( which will be added in prior order ).

As for release - the only thing I need now to make it - large chanel. I hope this is trouble of few days.

Count me in too. Just lemme know what areas you want help/test/other in and I'll give you as much time as I have.
