Yep, it's just a nod to the Privateer concept art so we can have a bit more variety in the civilian ships.

Like I said in my previous post to this thread, there will be no multiplayer in Ep 5, nor will there be a future multiplayer patch to Standoff. So, no. :p

The more time the rest of the team wastes with their real lives (imagine that!), the more likely I am to become bored and go around re-doing random things in higher quality. But I don't think anyone should actually hope for that to happen. :p Seriously now, I believe that the three cockpits...

Nothing can look like real metal when it's just a color map, no matter how hard you try. You'd need a specular map and a bump map at the very least, and an ambient occlusion map rendered on top of your color map. If you're looking to use the textures in a game engine that doesn't support bumps...

Here's our latest news update... and a commitment to make them more frequent from now on, because we've really been slacking in the news updates department (moreso than in the progress department, thankfully :p).

Yep, there has been progress - we have new missions, a couple more video cutscenes have been musicized, and Pierre and Alex are doing some improvements to the openGL renderer. We'll get around to posting a full news update soon(tm).

... And there's no way in hell that I would try to pass off the same model as being two different designs in my game. :p

Nope, no Standoff 2. Most of the team agrees that there's no good way to continue the storyline, and that the best thing for our sanity is to not take on another Vision engine project. :p Personally, I also think that gameplay-wise, there is no way we could do much better than Standoff in a...

Best title ever.

We don't have any active Bengals in the campaign missions because there were no Bengals listed among the "active carriers" in Fleet Action (the novel our storyline is based on). However, a drydocked Bengal will make an appearance in Ep 5. I'm not sure why we didn't make proper use of that model...

Absolutely brilliant!

I don't think anyone who worked on UE1 has any plans for an UE2.

The idea of what eventually became Standoff was born when I first decided that I was going to make my own mod, sometime after having left the the X-Wing Alliance WC TC team due to some disagreements with them. The symbolic date I chose for my own personal annual celebration of Standoff's...

As much as I love the praise, it's not really fair to compare Standoff to WCP graphically. You may like our story better or whatever, and I love to hear that, because WCP has (like every other WC game) pretty damn good storytelling, light years ahead of videogame standards... but if you think...

Congratulations, the awards are in very good hands. Both Péricles' creations and ASCII sector are two very unique ideas, put to practice by the hard work of two very talented "one-man-army" guys - I find it very interesting that they have each won one of the awards in the same year! May 2009...

At the risk of giving away too much, with Ep 5 we will go beyond simply extending the current scoreboard functionality to 6 more missions.

No MP in Ep 5, currently no plans for any patch to Standoff itself after Ep 5. This will be the final release. If it is ever up to me to do so, it would be a separate download/install from Standoff entirely. I'm not sure how easy it is to adapt content to the MP patch, but if it's as easy as...

He's definitely in for a nightmare - I tried to warn him. :p

Doh! :p

They're two different rendering modes that Standoff can use. You can switch between them in the launcher options, but it's not really recommended... Direct3D is slower and much uglier. We'll just bug Pedro to try and fix the openGL issue. To take a screenshot press printscreen in the game...
