- Redundant or Useless Wargear and Abilities are being ether Re-rolled, Balanced or Removed.

Progress:

Done:
- Space Marine.
- Lord General.

In Progress:

Now, this was something I have long waited for. Bring it on!

Dumb question, but how do I go about testing and such for this mod? And is it compatible with Elite?

[Swift]

A reason to get back into last stand eh? Sounds promising.

How do you make matchmaking work? Will we have to create private lobbies all of the time? I say this as matchmaking does not work on Elite so I can't see it working on modded Last Stand.

As long as the mod doesn't break your game files anything is compatible, likelyhood is a command line be used, and since Elite is launched separately I shouldn't think this is an issue.

Matchmaking works fine. We dont use -dev.

Elite uses "-dev" mode and it forbids matchmaking. Forgotten Emerald doesnt use "-dev" - so matchmaking works.

I would like to test tau commander when it comes out

Interested in Plague Champion, Chaos Lord, and Inquisitor. But, SM Captain can act like an Apo, you changed his wargears right?

Okaaay? °_O So why can't Elite just not use "-dev" then?

Yes - just read the Features.

Because they use "-dev" to get more possibilities for modding. (I dont know what exactly they get from it)

[Dark Riku]

Modders, care to share some light on this?

[egewithin]

Yes - just read the Features.

I have read them before the post, but I think I forgot them untill I came down and post a comment. :/
