 FirstStrike 1.3 Released
28 Jul 2008 - 08:07 by    BLITZ FirstStrike News | comments (250)
OK gang, we have enough servers up to warrant the client file release! Enjoy and please torrent, mirror or otherwise get these files out there so we can start fragging!

A few things to note for the client files:

For those that already have FS 1.25 installed, here is a link to the incremental 1.25-1.30 patch. :

Primary
Doubleskill.de_v1.25-v1.30_incremental.exe

Mirror
woodat.com_FirstStrike_Patch_v1.25-v1.30_incremental.exe

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those that are installing fresh you do not need to patch to 1.25 first. We have created a 1.2-1.3 patch to allow you to patch straight from the base install. Here are the links to the 1.20 base install (1 gig) and the 1.20-1.30 patch (16 megs):


Base link for 1.2:
1.2 Full (WolfServers.com East Coast)
1.2 Full (WolfServers.com Central Coast)
1.2 Full (WolfServers.com West Coast)
DoubleSkill
Full Patch for 1.2 to 1.3:
Primary
http://www.doubleskill.de/fs_pub/FirstStrike_Patch_v1.20-v1.30.exe

Mirror

Note that the 1.2-1.3 will not work if you have 1.25.

 FirstStrike 1.30 Server Files Released!
27 Jul 2008 - 20:07 by    BLITZ FirstStrike News | comments (129)
Hey Gang, we are on final preperations to release FirstStrike 1.3 to you, the public. To help with this we will be releasing the server files first. Server admins are advised to put the number 1.3 in the title of the server so it shows up in the in-game list properly. Our client files will be released once we feel there has been enough time for server admins to make the switch.

Thanks to all the devs and testers who worked hard on testing the bugs and testing the patch on different systems.

Server File Links:

Primary:
http://www.doubleskill.de/fs_pub/firststrike_v1.30_serverfiles.rar

Mirror:
http://www.woodat.com/firststrike_v1.30_serverfiles.rar

Feel free to mirror! We'll be releasing the client patch soon! If you haven't tried FirstStrike for 2142 yet then feel free to visit our download section here:

PS. Dont annoy the ewoks, they are mean!!

 Patch 1.3 Announcement
26 Jul 2008 - 08:07 by    BLITZ FirstStrike News | comments (43)
Greetings Troopers! We have been working hard over the last few months on the 1.3 patch. Today we are pleased to announce that we are in final testing of the patch, and if all goes well we intend to release it within the next week. This patch contains alot of tweaks and fixes too numerous to mention but we have included some things to show you. This has no new content, just tweaks. Below is a changelog of what you can expect from the patch.

Weapons:
-Almost every rifle and pistol in the mod has had its accuracy tweaked and adjusted to be more accurate.
-Medic Grenades no longer able to be replenished to avoid spamming
-Ewebs/MKii’s have been given a bit more starting ammo
-Squad leader ping has been increased in radius and amount of pings available
-Deployable uav beacons can no longer be replenished
-Support class now only has 2 mines, and the mines can no longer be rearmed
-Sniper rifles now changed to reload like other weapons

Droids:
-Droids should not kill you now when you deploy them
-Droid surfing has been eliminated
-Trooper UAV Droid now has a decrease in radius of ping and a longer time in between pings
-Heavy Weapons droids should now be more useful/powerful

Vehicles:
-Space Fighter targeting systems have been fixed, which should make fight-on-fighter combat on our space maps a lot more fun once again.
-Freerunner APC crash fix
-All heavy land vehicles (and on some maps the ATSTs) have been locked to their teams permanently. No more vehicle stealing.
-Firehawke HUD changed to match the other imperial vehicles

Maps:
-Ticket Drain Fixed on Convoy Raid 64p
-Additional Y-wing spawns were added to Convoy raid to help tackle spawncamping.
-Several building exploits were fixed on the Tatooine maps
-Rhen var Ice Plains reduction in combat area for all versions to encourage more direct combat
-Lighting adjusted on Mos Entha and spawn points moved and added for the Crashed Corvette CP
-Bestine's 32p first hill flag is now one way. Once the rebels take it imps can't cap it back.
-Bestine's freerunner will now spawn more frequently
-Ryloth 16p shrunk to the top half of the map
-Ryloth's vehicles are all now locked to their appropriate teams.
-32p Ryloth has seen a reduction in the amount of aircraft on it. They will also take longer to spawn (with exception to the lambda)

General:
-Several graphical issues have been addressed and fixed
-The game doesn't hang on the black screen when initially loading if you're in windowed mode and not focused on the game at start.




We would also like to thank the public for your continued support of the mod and for making it quite frankly one of the best mods out there! Our numbers keep going up and we have alot of exciting things going on in the community. Enjoy the patch and look for our future patches that will include new content!

 You have failed me for the last time, Admiral...
22 Jul 2008 - 17:07 by Imperial FirstStrike News | comments (404)
Service in the upper echelons of the Imperial Navy is a fickle thing. As soon as you have risen to the top of the ranks then there is always someone eager for success and the favour of a particular Dark Lord of the Sith who will knock you back down from your pedestal into the common ranks, or worse still the cold death like grip of that same Dark Lord.

Well I suppose a nervous high command is an efficient high command. The time for change has come, at last we shall see who has been of most use to the Empire.


Line Captain RabidJohn...

In recognition of your exemplary conduct on and off the battlefield, your successful campaigns and engagements across the galaxy, fine military service that has already been recognized through the numerous awards you have received to date, and your shear dedication shown by your time served on the battlefield, it is our pleasure to award you the Grand Admiral title. As with he who came before you, this is a temporary appointment, and should your standards slip, the Dark Lord may come a knocking.




Line Captain RSFKrow...

You too have shown yourself to be worthy of the Emperor's attention. Word of your excellent track record in battle in service of the Empire has not gone unnoticed, and our leader is most pleased with your progress. As such, we are honoured to award you the rank of Grand Moff. Continue to please the Emperor in this way and there will be no heights to which you cannot soar. However, I'm sure I don't have to tell you the price of failure.




Grand Admiral DanteFess...

While your contribution to the Imperial Navy remains as solid as ever, it appears that there are others more dedicated to the cause than you. As a result you are hereby demoted to the rank of Moff. However take care, as further slips down the ranks could result in more than a mere demotion.



Moff Oddball-UK & Fleet Admiral RSFAngel...

For your continuing excellent service to the Empire you both shall retain your ranks, this time, but don't get too comfortable or complacent, the Imperial Navy is full of ambitious officers itching to take your place, so watch your backs.




Captain SamZi...

The final special rank of Fleet Admiral is awarded to you as we have followed your lightspeed ascension through the ranks with great interest. Be careful that you do not fall as quick as you have risen.



Fear not troopers...

The battle for supremacy of the galaxy continues, show your dedication and prowess on the galactic battlefields and maybe the next Grand Admiral will be you.

 Echo Base, AT-AT, and PC Gamer
09 Jul 2008 - 19:07 by Imperial FirstStrike News | comments (42)
Hello everyone, yet another progress update for you. TALON has been slaving away lately attempting to produce for us a lore accurate layout for Echo Base which contained just enough detail to work well within our Battle of Hoth map. Included below is the floorplan with key that he has drawn up and has used as the basis for the first draft model of Echo Base which is already getting put through its paces with extensive in game testing.

PCGamer UK Feature


Also, after our release of the AT-AT in game clip we've got a handful of complaints that the head seems too large. We'd like to comfort you in the knowledge that this was indeed just a matter of the camera perspective in the shots. Included below is a frontal render of the model to give you extra re-assurance. Expect to be hearing more about this beast and how it will operate in game in the near future.

AT-AT Front


Next, we'd like to thank the PC Gamer magazine in the UK for their glowing review of our mod. We hope to see a bit of an influx in our population in the coming weeks due to this. If you live in the UK and haven't already, grab a copy of PC Gamer and check it out. If you happen to live elsewhere, here is a copy of the article for you to take a peak at.

PCGamer UK Feature


Finally, we'd like to give you all a quick heads up that in the coming week we will be holding another promotion ceremony for our Dev appointed ranks. So, anyone looking to be the next Grand Admiral (or looking to hold on to your title ;)) get out there and play!
