Mass Effect: Fighters Alliance

Finally the new version v1.1 is available for download. After almost 2 years I finally managed to finish the v1.1.

It includes the new escort the freighter game mode, arcturus station (provided by Phoenix Interactive) and improved control and performance. Now you can select between joystick/gamepad or keyboard+mouse. Mouse control has been improved by implementing a relative mouse movement so no more mouse relocating when performing long turns. It also includes larger scale battles in dreadnought battle game mode with up to 4 dreadnoughts per faction.

Hope you like the new version and if you find bugs, something that can be improved or any doubt regarding the game please let me know.

The new version 1.1 is almost finished. I've been delayed by some misterious bugs that I couldn't find but I finally catch them. In this new version, I've managed to improve performance which allow to render more ships so I've been able to add more dreadnoughts to the battle. I've also improved joystick/gamepad control. Escort the freighter is back online so there are three game modes available: dreadnought battle, siege and escort the freighter.

Complete changelog:

-Improved performance.

-More than one dreadnought at a time (1 in bronze, 2 in silver, 3 in gold and 4 in platinum).

-Now frigates, heroes and cruisers appear at 75%, 50% and 25% remaining health of the first dreadnought, so they will appear earlier during battle in higher difficulties.

-Improved KB+M control. Added relative mouse movement

-Reduced the speed of ships to half so it is easier to control the ships (like the initial versions of the game).

-Escort the freighter redone: you alone will have to escort a freighter, every 30 sec new enemy ships spawn at random location around the freighter. The freighter must reach a target point before it's destroyed.

-New maps.

-Improved shadows (using cascade shad...

After a long time without any updates (I've been busy between work and DAI ), I finally found some time to work on the game. This is what I've been working:

-Improved performance.

-More than one dreadnought at a time (1 in bronze, 2 in silver, 3 in gold and 4 in platinum).

-Now frigates, heroes and cruisers appear at 75%, 50% and 25% remaining health of the first dreadnought, so they will appear earlier during battle in higher difficulties.

-Improved KB+M control. Added relative mouse movement

-Reduced the speed of ships to half so it is easier to control the ships (like the initial versions of the game).

-Escort the freighter redone: you alone will have to escort a freighter, every 30 sec new enemy ships spawn at random location around the freighter. The freighter must reach a target point before it's destroyed.

-New maps (simple retexture of the surface map, yeah I'm that lazy ).

-Improved shadows (using cascade shadow maps).

-Improved tactical orders, now if you order a ship to attack another, it will keep that target until it is destroyed. Very useful for cruisers and dreadnoughts.

-Fixed some visual glitches in laser shots, like the reaper beams, where the shot looks...
