Two updates in one month? What is this madness?

Made significant progress on getting the Demiurge ready for combat. Slated to replace the Zoltan A.
Will begin without shields (except Z-shield), but with one defense drone of Incursor design. Offensive capabilities not yet determined (Likely attack drone + beam weapon)

Madness?

Who let you out of the coding pens!?

Bad Kieve, bad Kieve!

On a more serious note, if 3 years is optimistic, I don't think I want to know what your definition of a pessimistic ETA is...

It was a joke. I was poking fun at how sarcastic Panlew's reply was.
Yes, Incursion will take a while and progress has been laughably slow, but when it is done, or at least in a condition to be released, hopefully it'll be worth it for the people waiting.

The only disappointment I have is that a lot of ideas I'd considered implementing (and in some cases downright game-changing), other modders thought of as well and beat me to the punch. By the time Incursion is done, there might not be a whole lot left that players haven't seen done elsewhere before. I guarantee you though, I still have a few surprises

I know the feeling....

me: "I will make a door room a cargo hold!"
Lemmonade: "Hey guys look at this new cargo ship I made!"


me: "I will go make a ship that is like a vanilla ship but is made of different ship parts!" (eg making a mantis cruiser 100% of rock parts to appropriate areas to make a fake mantis cruiser so to say)
someone: "Hey, I made a kestrel "Zoltan" cruiser guys!"

me: "I'm uh.... gonna make a satellite dish hacky thing?..."
sleeper: "I just made new weapons guys!"

me: "okay.... okay.... I will make a flak gun that will start fir-"
someone: "so I just experimented with AE and made this inferno gun!"


this is why I only released 2 ships so far, if my ideas didn't kept being creamed to the point that I deem my ships 'average' or nothing special, then I would have potentially made 20 ships so far, I already have 12 ships that I know off that is in perfect condition to be uploaded, all bugs gone, balanced, type A and B. etc....

But that is what I am excited for, someone trying to push the limits even further like you.
I also have an idea bubbeling in my head and all I need to do is wait for SL2 to be updated and tadda. Still debating.

But either way, even if your mod has nothing new at all, I bet the music alone and detail to the game you applied is more then enough to be epic.
