was there any recent vote on this? you sure would have mine ..

I am not the voice of the nomads team, but the common consensus is that a very large amount of work needs to be done before there is even the slightest chance that it gets put into a ranked state.

Personally, I don't want to force user created content onto anyone if they don't want to, the only way I see nomads integration happening is with a very clear and telegraphed opt in system, where players can easily see where nomads is allowed, and then choose to join from there.

Of course, we want to make nomads so good you will want to say yes

Great looking new art direction ! The ACU looks a bit flimsy though. Good luck for refurbishing the whole faction!

The new Nomads ACU looks like a Cybran ACU that went on a diet.

I'm really loving the new Nomads aesthetic. I always felt like the models that had been built out previously didn't quite suit the fabulous design of their factories. This sort of...cylon/cyberpunk look is really strong and matches their holographic orange block manufacturing a lot more.

Hopefully ya'll are sticking with the firearms aesthetic of slightly reduced technology from before though.

I would love to provide any assistance I can. I've worked on balance stuff for them in the past with a couple of friends, I have experience in scripting and Blender 3D modeling. I've even published a little VR game so whatever I can do to pitch in....i shall surely lend you my cybran little grabby claws.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it but the last time I did balance testing their T3 Gunships were stupid good in the air game.

Are you guys aiming for including nomads into ladder? Are there any T4s?

It's a bit laggy if you start he game with 10+ sim speed.
But i have played several AI games with Nomads now and the sim speed after 1 hour is the same as with the nomal FAF game.

After fixing the gfx stuff it should be ready to go

Not going to comment on anything but looks, and have to say it is really nice to see this. This is an interesting UEF-Cybran mashup in my opinion, and am curious to see the up and coming work.

what about unit models?
i vaguely recall someone saying that the high polygon count was an issue?

absolutely there are, we have already identified a couple of lag points and are working through them, but they are not totally ready yet. expect performance to improve over time. we are going through the existing units and optimising a _lot_ of code as we go along, theres a few significant refactors being done, and we actually have code in places thats superior to faf :>>

Frank, feel free to PM me on discord or the faf forums, and let me know what you are interested on working on, we can set you up with nice things :>
this applies to anyone interested of course! we have plans regarding a more inclusive and transparent model of development which will be ready soon™ as well so stay tuned for that, too.

last time i looked at some nomads replay i noticed a lot of lag (iirc someone told me that the acu model was responsible for that)

are there any plans on improving the performance in nomads?
