Ok guys, i've been working on a new mod, entitled "The Apocalypse Mod" Now, this mod is not based on my faction, even though it does sound that way. The basic idea behind the mod is a big war, lots of destruction in standard Sirius, and a rebirth. I know, pretty standard stuff, but let me impress upon you how much fun this mod could be, and is so far. If you look at the "powerhouse" mods, the ones that really last, and have proven themselves, they have been pretty straightforward mods. I'm not aiming to break the technological barrier of FL, i'm not trying to be cutting edge, i'm only trying to make a mod that people will love and come back over and over to play.

So - I've been working on this for a bit now and have done a LOT of work. We have a working beta on a test server and all evidence so far points to a really fun mod. I've made a pile of new ships for the mod and i've coded a bunch of systems and neat little effects and other things that make the experience fun.

Well...what i need now is someone to share the load with me. I need another coder for certain. Someone that i don't have to babysit and teach. I would love someone i can hand the "gameplan" to and let them run with it. We're getting close to a public release, and if i had another coder, i could reach that goal VERY quickly.

I would also like another shipwright, who can make models on their own and submit to me WORKING ships for the game, where all i have to do is maybe an infocard for, but nothing else. Why do i want this, being a shipwright myself? Well, i like diversity in the mod, and i want other talented shipwrights to show their stuff in a cool new mod that folks will play and enjoy a lot of different ships. I want this mod to showcase our skills here on TLR and the FL community and show that Freelancer is NOT DEAD.

So, if you're interested in helping me with this project, please email me at [email protected] - i will also check this thread several times a day to make sure anyone who is interested can get my attention.

Remember, this is currently a working beta. This is something you can fly in and see, it is NOT just a "dream". This *IS* a reality, and i will make sure anyone accepted on the team gets the latest code and compiled mod.

I'll add some screenshots to this thread soon, to give everyone an idea. The reason i've not added them right now is that i recently had a wipe and reload (go WinXP!) and i'm still sorting things out on my PC lol. But i WILL post some eye candy for everyone to see.

Thanks for reading, and i look forward to the applications/responses!
