REQUIEM Update 23 JANUARY 2009
As many of you know, Requiem's development has been slowed down a bit because ... well ... it's hard sometimes to manage life and hobbies and unfortunately this comes down to a hobby.
What does that mean for Requiem though, you're wondering. Well ... what it means is that Requiem NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! We're looking for people who know how to code INI files for systems, equipment, commodities and more.
Here's what we need RIGHT now...
- Systems coded
- A couple of ships coded into the game
- Some commodities and equipment
Once this is done, we can release a BETA of Requiem. The BETA will be for players to test out and see what needs to be fixed. Once the testing is done, we'll start adding new systems and ships. We do have an auto-updater so, the user would just run the Auto-Updater, download any new updates, and then the game will load automatically
The Auto-Updater is crucial for Requiem because it allows ALL players to get updates whenever they login.
So, if you know how to code the INI files for Freelancer, PLEASE PM DOTCOM IMMEDIATELY!!!! :)

As I'm sure everyone who's been on the site and has been reading my posts knows, Requiem is ALL about the community. We want the players to submit ideas for the game, such as new ships, bases, factions, or even things you've never seen in any other MOD that you think would be AMAZING!
We have recently been working on something HUGE and we REALLY need the community's help on this. As I said above, we're looking for ideas from members of the community. Currently we're working on a Technology Tree, in which each faction could upgrade the equipment they have.
For example, a faction may start off with Basic Ion Cannons, but by "researching" Plasma Cannons, the faction would be able to upgrade to those new weapons.
When I say upgrade, I mean, our modelers (myself included) would MODEL a new piece of equipment FOR the faction personally, and the would install it in the game, which would be downloaded via our Automatic Updater. This would allow for new weapons, equipment, commodities, ships, and much, MUCH more.
If you've played other MODs before, you'll know that THIS is something that is NOT offered by any MODs (or at least none that I've ever, EVER seen).
Currently, we need help building the technology tree. If you look in the forums, there is a list of ALL the factions currently programmed. Some are available, some are not. We need help building technology tree's for each and every faction.
This is where, YOU, the community come into play! :D
We need ideas, suggestions, and even sample Technology Tree's from you in the community. Put together a list of upgrades, in order, for a faction, or at least ideas of upgrades and things to research. The main premise behind the Technology Tree is that a faction will "research" an upgrade, which could take anywhere from a week to 2 months, depending on the kind of upgrade. For example, a new Plasma Cannon could take 3 weeks of research and development before it's released. In this time, our modelers would make the weapon and then it would be added to the game. Another example is a capital ship; that make take up to 2 months, but it would be custom made per request. Keep in mind, this is something that will have rules and regulations setup as our modelers will not be able to work on tons and tons of upgrades all the time, so there will be some limitations but it's being ironed out.
This is why we need YOUR input, so we can get everything to work out SMOOTHLY! If you're an excellent modeler, feel free to contact us. We also need texturers for our ships so post in the appropriate section!
As I said above, Requiem is ALL about it's players and the community so it's ESSENTIAL that the community have an input on things being put into the game. Having input from the community allows us to get ideas from TONS of people, instead of just the people developing the game. Although the MOD team is doing a GREAT job, we still LOVE to hear input from the soon-to-be players!
Post your ideas in the Ideas Section of the forums, as MANY as you'd like. Please post each NEW idea as a seperate topic; it makes it a LOT easier for me to organize things that way.
Don't hesitate to post any ideas though. If you have an idea for a ship or a base, post sketches that you have: Just draw a side view, and top view, and our modelers will make it... I mean it! Or if you have an idea for something new to add to the game, just post that in the General Game Ideas section!
Please continue to post in the forums with any questions you may have as well as we're always willing to answer! Keep an eye out for more screenshots and updates along the way!!

Posted by fadius on Mon Feb 12, 2007 3:13 am I am proud to announce that we have begun the initial Alpha phase of testing for our mod. As we move forward, we will be posting more news updates and screen shots.
As we get closer to beta testing, we will make another announcement looking for beta testers. Both the beta and alpha testig will have wide oepn system access as to test the systems and all apects. Once the public release is made, only certain systems will be available from the start. Don't worry, we have taken into consideration the need for no player wipes and this has already been addreses and taken care of.
