Any news on the patch?

[StormcloudCreations]

I've submitted the 1.2 patch to Matrix, and added the ability to click on the altitude arrow on the map itself next to the appropriate pilot to change pilot altitude, instead of clicking on the side arrows. This eliminates the need to click on a pilot during movement phase just to see or change their altitude, which should make things much smoother. Thanks to all who have supported the project so far, and hopefully people see that we do listen and care about the game, and want to make it better and easier to play.

I also added a more "realistic" red/yellow explosion when you kill stuff, getting rid of the green toned one. [8D]

It'll come out when Matrix gets to it, i'm certain (they mentioned being short staffed for the holidays [:)]).

About Saving.

Sorry Stormy I disagree. IF and IF the application could be run in a window so that I could Alt-Tab safely out of the game when interrupted I might agree with you. But in its current state, I have lost many, many games due to running a misison and either getting paged for work, or having the other half ask me to look something up for her (and "I'll do it after my game is over" is NOT a good answer). I'll alt-tab out and then have the game unresponsive when I return and have to kill it in the task manager. Allowing folks to save after they allocated their pilots and weapons would at least be a help.

Now about cheating. Why do you care? If people want to cheat they will and that is their buisness They can now by the way. I found that out after one of the episodes above. I was on a mission in the middle of a campaign and things were not going well. I got paged by work, had to alt-tab out and when I was done with my work issue and came back to the program it was just a black screen. I killed the app in task manager and was then able to re-do my mission with better results. So if I want to cheat all I have to do is alt-tab out of a bad mission, kill the game in task manager and reload the campaign. So since not having a in-game save does not really prevent cheating why not add it in for the rest of us who could have a legit reason for needed to suspend a game for a while.

Merry Christmas,

Kevin
