Topic: Hi - 1st posted and wanted to say...

WOW!!

I remember seeing First Strike a while back and thought that it looked promising. Trawling other forums gave a link here so i thought i'd pop by and see how things were going and was suprised to see release for version 1.0 on Friday smile

Gotta take my cap off to all the people involved in producing this mod, it looks stunning and i cant wait for my first taste of action! Hopefully there will be a few servers running in the UK / Europe from day 1.

Just for my peace of mind, are there any lag issues with the game ala 2142? My laptop is quite capable but cant run everything on high settings on 2142.  Has some ingenious coding been done to allow the engine to run better??

Cheers for now and congrats again!

Space battles run smoother than anything in standard 2142 as far as I know.

Is that true devs/testers?

Pretty much any pentium3 will handle space at full.

Jerk, it makes sense, space is empty, no objects to load or other stuff like that, just ships. Though the size of them is so large it's still a challenge. Make no mistake, these things are huge from a player's point of view.

And welcome to the boards, Magicoi.
