Thanks guys. I helped Achilles pick it out

Vanguard has moved to a new site
Please bear with us if you have any trouble logging in or registering, a large part of the reason Achilles upgraded to phbb3 was to escape a deluge of spambots. He has tightened the virtual perimeter and added some more digital hoops new users have to jump through in the registration.

Achilles had been doing some downloading for the forum, which uses the same server as the game. He's done with that now and where pings from Arkansas USA were running as high as 1500 they are down to 100 now.

The Antares Mod Team needs a Ship Modder, a Weaponsmith, and general Coders.
Background on the Antares Mod:
1-Improved physics and customization levels eg. one can add different powerplant/engine/thrusters/armor/scanners/tractor beams/shields to customize one's choice of ship. Any gun can be mounted on any non-capitol ship, so even a Starcrapper can carry code guns and cannonballs.
2-the Antares Mod is an evolving mod, in that Clans and Freelancers can build bases, terraform planets, and research new weapons and equipment. The new stuff shows up in the next update.

Well when we started brainstorming the update we're working on atm, I made what I thought was a reasonable suggestion...why don't we add two new factions and one new system, to provide an intermediary area for new players to do medium difficulty missions?
We wound up going a LITTLE crazy with that idea, and now we have several new factions and several new systems....and each of the new factions needs thier own unique ships, weapons and equipment.
We could really use some help getting the "July" update out.

If you want to check the Antares Mod out before you make a commitment, see the ad OP-R8R posted:

and then follow the linkies in the 'missing links' reply I posted there.

Contact me by PM here in the SWAT forums or PM Achilles either here or:

For exploring, start a new char
KEEP the Escape Pod

Itll turn out over 800 m/s
I call it the Superpod
with Order Thrusters or Outcast Thrusters it'll clock 999 kps
this version I call the Uberpod8)

Please bear with us; the Vanguard2 Server Operator, Achilles, has been having issues with lag lately. We are operating on the fourth update. Achilles plans on totally cleaning his server out before he installs the next update. Hopefully this will take care of the lagging problem.
