All right, everything's all set and v1.2.1 is online! Here are the links:
Patch Only (Faster)
Full Version (Recommended)
I submitted the files to Ambrosia today; they should be on the site within a few days.
PLEASE NOTE:
I re-uploaded the files just before 5:00 AM GMT as there was a problem with an outfit. Anybody who downloaded before that time should re-download. I apologize for the inconvenience.
A few of the major features:
The long-requested walkthrough, totaling over 50 pages in length. Covers funding missions, outfits, ships, and plot missions/easter eggs in great detail
Revamped Outfit Graphics: outfit now set against grayscale background to more properly mesh with Nova's outfit graphics (full version only)
Major balance changes, most notably to the Scimitar (watered down a bit) and Titan (less defenses, much more free mass)
One new weapon: Improved Medium Blaster (swivel mount)
One new functional outfit: Modular Hull
A great number of bug fixes
And much more!
Funny how every item on that list was of shorter length than the preceding item.
Anyways, as long as I have the floor, I'll upload a shot of my latest work just to prove that I haven't been neglecting chapter 3 lately.
