It was a closed beta, so the beta was only released to the beta testers.

um... any idea when it will be released

Please don't ask that kind of question. It's a courtesy rule and it's in our WIP rules. Thanks! -Mav

Sorry, but I'm afraid you will have to. Thanks to the reviews, I am fixing all the mentioned issues. I then plan on releasing a second beta to the beta testers who responded, mostly for balance and unit testing. Then comes the release :mrgreen: .

Looks good! I've sent you some of the pics of issues.
I like all the new units and things. It just seems.. empty. I need to turn up the AI. (Or you could add more in the LUA :wink: )
Loved the trooper skins.
I don't understand what that ship is doing in the sky, but thats just me. :D

I'm thinking I should add explosions to that ship.

sry for breaking the rules (ive seen some similar posts and thought its not forbidden :angel: , perhaps i should read the rules post)

now to the map, im sure it will be interesting but i think you should add some StarWars realismus (like rifles with single powerful shots, thermal dets without those red light, correct laser colours for atats and atsts) it will make more fun

Yeah...no. Sorry, but this map isn't canon. At all. But here are some new screenies:

My 7th Sky Corps Sniper :D :

I finally added terrain variation. This is one of the Republic's CPs, obviously on top of a hill. There will be boxes and control panels etc. as well:

Thanks. This map will feature the 7th Sky Corps Legion as the Rebublic, which is almost done. The hill really adds to the map, as do the 60 units per team (literally).

The helmet on the 7th Sky Corps skin could use some work. It's too white and clean to match with the rest of the body.

*squints* Oh right, the black sniper strap comes with my clone with a cape thing. Thats ok. If you want I can add some grease and extra cape effects that I used in my rep-fix. Only if you want to...
Lookin' good! :)

No, I use a weird program you've probably never heard of called Adobe Photodeluxe. I have all the effects that I made (grease marks, cape dirt, etc) in layers. If I change the layer underneath it to your skins, I can add these effects for you, if you want. Just send it to me sometime if so.

How about you send me the layer? Sorry if it seems, I dunno, paranoid, but I will only release/send someone the skins after the map is released. I would appreciate it if you could just send me the layer.

Alright, I'll send the scratches, I assume you can overlay it on GIMP, (I use darken instead I think, I'm not sure what the gimp equivalent is)
