Hope this Ubercrew mod won´t be a Uber bernard mod...

[Mush Martin]

I takes about forty seconds to take out the crew portions
so I will do that and then post 1.3.1 with the crew bits gone
and the campaign long term loadout corrected.

back in a little bit.

I´m off for kickin´ butts

[Mush Martin]

Well I hope the new version works out for ya I just got back from
my Drive after release.

she is a little just a very little slick in the corners but she still
handles like a champ and I did a dive test with it. woo hoo.
about eighteen seconds from pressing c to out of view.
sweet.
I had fun with it today finally after a few fairly frantic days
tested out the new AA set up.
it was nice here is my choices for todays mission.

Ok people here are some screenies for the new 1.3.1 beta uber boat doing a set of evasive zig zags using [ and ] handled like a dream also did a full circle evasive took 70 seconds and the circle was about .7 km at its widest slowest the boat dropped to was 21 knots. enjoy the screenies:

Ooo look at the wavy lines relaxing.....




Oh crap bernard hit midships i think i'm gonna hurl



Oh one other thing mush we have squeeky voiced crew again kinda like mickey mouse on steroids ive tried everything u suggested before and no change squeeky crew-r-us

A quick favour to ask of all if you are haveing any probs withyour deck gun or AA guns not engaging targets can you let us know please im having some intermitent gun probs and i want to see if its just me or others are And sounds more welsh or maybe like frank carson:rotfl:

[ReallyDedPoet]

This is a nice one Mush

[Mush Martin]

Pick o the litter RDP and thanks it sure does stand out among
none enhanced screenies.

MM

[edit]

there seems to be some confusion over the evasion pattern included in 1.3.1

just to clear it up a bit.

the evasion pattern as it is will be of no use to players unless you have no other waypoints
and the course you need is due north.

otherwise its just there for me to experiment with to see what will work about it.

MM

[edit] there seems to be some need to point out that all of the original testers
that recieved uber1.1 are now good to just plain have fun until im done
2.0 at which point one or two of you will be asked to help with that.
but for now Ubergroop just eat em n smile.
MM

[edit] I know that 1.3.1 Handles ok but does anybody think I need to turn the
hull drag back up a bit or is it ok to me it seems to scud a little in the hard
corners.

also I have personally found it nice to be able to go back to using the keyboard
to steer without bleeding near so much speed. its a better method than
mouse steering in battle.

Same here....sometimes deck gun crew is dreaming of something spectacular..... i don´t know. They´re hanging the gunbarrels to the opposite side. Maybe it´s the psychological warfare? Showing ass to the enemy....
When i turn the guns by myself to right direction and go back to bridge everything is normal. They fire like hell...

I just had another go at Happy Times, now, everytime I play that, I am NOT happy unless I destroy EVERYTHING! LOL

When is the next incarnation coming MM!?

Next incarnation is a while away yet PG.
I decided to put out 1.3 now become 1.3.1 to give
every one a whet appetite and something to do
while I chip away at 2.0

2.0 as it turns out will not be a modification of 1.3.1 instead
its a complete from the ground rebuild based on a IXD2 instead
of a IXB.

Even to my indulgent eye Uber 1.3.1 and its predecessors look
a little rough hewn, I am confident that Ill have 2.0 up to the
same standard as the 1.3.1 version by the end of the day.
but I have hopes of taking it further and need sometime
for study and practice. in an attempt to put some polish
on the big guy. There are some unique challenges in
the correction to the aft deckgun mount. and it may
take a little more than one new set of skills to defeat them
all.

Im about to do my second test of the day I had just popped in
to clear messages will be back on in a while.
So far though progress on 2.0 is steady and as expected.
