We'd like to, believe me. And we attempt to where we can. Not for you alone, but for every comment we recieve as far as constructive feedback. For example, my last mod Galactic Conquest received a lot of this type of feedback but after 5 or so releases we still didnt please everyone. Now at this stage on a new mod with new goals and a new team, Galactic Conquest is held at a high reguard as though it was the best star wars mod ever made (it wasnt, but some fans make it out to be). Yes we may blame the engine for the faults of this mod, but we were doing the same then. I think it just so happens that the correlation between the base game of 1942 (a fun, light-hearted, yet realistic in some way mp shooter with revolutionary gameplay) and the base game of 2142 (another more limited version of the same series, that still has opportunies for some advancement) shows here with FS. There are plus and minuses. GC was fun at the time. AT THE TIME. It tried hard to replicate the star wars feel, some say it succeeded with flying colors, while others thought it was pure filth that should never have been made. The best hope we have is we are reaching the same level of success given the quality of the vanilla game we started with.

In my opinion, are we at the level of GC's R2? Yes, if you remove Hoth ground and perhaps Judicator. Is this a closer star wars experience than GC? Absolutely. Absolutely. Is First Strike fun for me personally? You betcha, as long as it isnt space I personally find it too limiting (in Galactic Conquest, as an example, I'd often just sit in a capitol ship and look out the windows for a whole round...I'm not much of a pilot, I find it tiring.). But just keep hanging on, voice your concerns, we'll try to fix them, and yeah, /end rant
