Great update, two quick questions:

1. There's been a lot of talk about the combat code getting redone, but exactly how big of an effort will that be?

2. What ever happened to someone listing all items that need to be completed for an initial rollout to produce a possible ballpark eta?

Thanks all

Hey Mechweb!

Thanks for asking, The combat Code is being re-done because the developer who originally took the helm in that department had to leave for his own reasons (Voltrox, come back man!!) His code was, well, his code and it was difficult for others to work with. PanchJr is redoing it in a more logical way from the ground up to insure accuracy (That is, pre-cu accuracy) and that it's easier to work with for other developers. It's quite an undertaking by Panch, it will involve a lot of research and math; rest assured Panch is VERY capable of this task, and i'm glad to have him on it.

We're still working on defining what will be in the ALPHA release of SWGEmu, I'll work to get that out to you some time this week. *Fingers Crossed* Alpha will include a basic version of all features in game. But that might be wishful thinking. Hope I helped to clear some of your questions up.

Awesome work. Great job all.

I am really looking forward to crafting properly again using a decent system. A feat that has not been reproduced in any other MMO.

I think if you guys release the Alpha the way SWG was released, no vehicles and player cities yet or space, minus the bugs of course, that a lot of people will be jumping for joy. Then you guys have time to work on the other things while we are living the dream again.

All your efforts in resurrecting the game in it's finest moments are well appreciated.

I can't wait to see what's next.

I'm one of those holo-grinders that joined the week it first came out, and I actually had fun at the Force Sensitive village. I lived this game.

I will again.

I agree with you about space. The SWG pre-cu is more important to me than the space combat. For, I can load up a number of games that have good aerial combat, but I cannot load up another SWG Pre-Cu.

I think it is great news that Alpha will be released soon. Or, at least I am hoping I read that right in Seaseme's last post.
