We will be answering questions in regards to gameplay and technical difficulties. This section will be revealed upon release to best inform you of all your questions.

When your question is answered it will remain there for a short period and then will be removed and added to the FAQ.

I will answer the question to the above question, but all other question will have to wait untill release.

The First Strike mod will have a installer. This will install it in a MOD folder and will not modify the original content. A short cut will be placed on your desktop which will switch BF2142 to First Strike mode. If you want to play regular BF2142 you just click the BF2142 shortcut.

No, it wont affect the original game. It will become available as a separate game launched through a shortcut and/or from within the game.

I have never used a mod before, will it have an auto-install?

Will installing this conversion modify my original game, thus making it impossible to play on normal online servers?.

I would also like to know the answer to these questions.

These are some of the questions I'd like to see on the official FAQ

What exactly is Firststrike the Star Wars Battlefield 2142 conversion?

What are some of the features of the conversion?

How similar will Firststrike be to BF 2142? Same mission types, similar equipment or same 4 types of soldier set ups?

I have never used a mod before, will it have an auto-install?

Will installing this conversion modify my original game, thus making it impossible to play on normal online servers?.

Do you have to pay for this conversion?

How will I be able to play with others online with this conversion? Will the normal BF 2142 servers allow me to play this online with others?

Will there be server and client downloads for those who wish to host their own Firststrike server?

Will installing and using this conversion break any rules set forth by EA risking our accounts to being banned?

When will the download be available? Will there be updates?

I like what you guys are doing and would like to help, is there a way I could help donate?

If possible is there a way to make a link to the FAQ on the Homepage? Also there are alot of questions newbies like me would like to know that could be included in the FAQ. Stuff most of you already know or take for granted, but some one like me who just walks in for the first time is wondering. 

Ill post some questions in a little bit.

all unlocks available from day 1

Well they're not really unlocks then now are they?

You forgot

I would be happy to make an updated, more elaborate FAQ if you want one.

Answers: "Sure", "yeah", "whatever", "huh?", "OMG YES PLZ", and "when it's done."

Someone needs to make an accurate, up-to-date FAQ and post it as a sticky on the front page.

Q. Will there be Jedi/lightsabers/force powers in the mod?
A. No. Jedi were very rare at the time of the mod, as they had been wiped out by the Emperor and Darth Vader, and none will make an appearance in this mod.

Q. What time does the mod take place?
A. The mod takes place during Episodes 4-6 (The original ones). No Clone Wars stuff will be included yet, although a clone wars mod might (no promises) be made in the future.

Q. Will there be space battles?
A. Yes, there will be space battles in the mod. They'll be similar to Battlefront 2's space battles, but much bigger, with movable and explorable capital ships.

Q. Will Luke, Vader, Han Solo, etc be in it?
A. Due to copyright issues no specific characters can be used. However, expect to see some Wookies.

Q. Will the Battle of Hoth be in it?
A. Yes, all major battles from the original films will be included, along with some that didn't appear in the films.

Q. Will this mod be ranked?
A. Mods can't be ranked in the Battlefield Series. Some mods have developed their own ranking system, but First Strike has no plans to do that as of now.

Q. I want to join the team. How?
A. Use the recruitment form on the website, or apply in the recruitment forum here.

Q. I have ideas I want to contribute.
A. Head over to the "wants list" forum and post your idea. Try to explain it as well as possible. Please try to give ideas that would be possible to put into the BF2142 engine. For example, controlling six people at once is never going to be possible. Getting rid of gravity is, though. If you aren't sure, just ask.

Q. I have a map I want to make, but I don't want to join the team.
A. Head over to the "custom maps" section, give a plan and description of the map. if the team agrees, you can make it and it will be included.

Q. I want to be a beta tester.
A. The mod team will pick the beta testers from members of the community. Asking to be one lessens your chances. Making mature, intelligent posts and contributing ideas helps. Having a high post count doesn't.

Q. When will the mod be released?
A. A playable (but not full) release will come out in September 2007. Please refrain from constantly asking, the mod team will release it when they are ready. If you want it to be released quicker, contact your friends who can mod, and get them to join the mod team.

Q. Is this a Galactic Conquest sequel?

A. No. Some of the members of the mod team worked on GC, but many didn't. This mod isn't affiliated with GC in any way. Some features of GC may be included, some may not.

Q. Can you replace the Titans with ISDs/Cruisers/etc?

A. Titan mode is being abandoned. Instead, there will be modes with multiple (some flyable) capital ships fighting each other as well as fighters.
