Is anyone else having trouble downloading this from Mediafire? My download always cuts out around 1.3 gigs... 4 failed attempts already...

Blackstork - perhaps break the download into 2, the music and the theme file?

Try waiting a half hour and then trying again. I had no issues downloading it, the problem is most likely a connection issue on your end.

I can stream YouTube HD (from US servers) and download torrents at around 1000 kb/s... Mediafire not more than 200 kb/s and drops if runs long enough. Located in East Asia.

I'll try again occasionally. Until then sticking with A43...

That would work, appreciate the effort! Not sure why Mediafire specifically seems to timeout on me after 1 gig or so...

That has to be the cutest alien i ever saw. [8D]

Since i didn't have the time to test your mod yet, how far are the new races ship designs finalized?
I really would like a sneak peak to the general theme of those, since i may include them in the addition to GEM's ship markings for the extended mod of haree. If the designer of them didn't go all fancy with them, that is. Some designs are simply a nightmare to apply the style to.

Can't wait for your mod to be completed. [&o]

Hello and wellcome :)
All the races are complete.
ALPHA/BETA mark thingy relate only to Charcter system implementration and art need to be done. Races are done, all assets/design features needed are in the game, except perhaps some pedia entries (Zadaj and Archei races missing) and some newer goverments pedia stuff, this means only informative features - which will be added soon

As a.5 is up, and players got enough material to try, its time to build plan for next sub-release

The plan is simple : to release more character systems and their infographs .

1st. I will do 3 missing graphs soon and post them on forum.
2nd. From next release graphs will go into the pedia.
3rd. Missing pedia info need to be added (there not much missing but still they are some)
4th. More charcter systems -
I want to ask community and players of Beyond - Are there any desires for particular races?... I can adjust my queue of doing just by your/community requests... IF you prefer some race being done earlier so you can try it in Beyond style just post here name of it, and you'll get prioritized!

:)
