Alright, here's the fixed version (you who have downloaded the previous one: delete the folder and re-install using this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/npzi2rhxhgwm6if/CAELUS_DEMO_4.zip)

It's also the correct link in the OP now.

It seems like the standard decompressor of Mac OS X Lion can't open the .zip document of the latest build, you just get another compressed document. You need a third party program to unzip it correctly, which is suboptimal in my opinion.

Yeah, well, that's really nothing of worry, since it can still be unzipped, can it not? :D

And we still need some serious feedback on the overall feel (execpt for the ships being overpriced, that's currently being addressed :))

well for the caelus mod i have some feed back.
1. It needs more weapons, because at the time it seemed that there werent very many weapons i could choose, so i didnt like it to much.
2. The pirater needs to be more challenging fleets, i was flying around and i could slaughter the pirate fleets, they were no challenge.
3. The pirates need fighter wings, and smaller frigates ie like the hound.
4. We need small faster ships, i like flying around in a small frigate rather then a big frigate with lots of weapons.
5. We need more factions, or we need more fleets flying around.
6. The spawn points need to be farther apart.
7. Im not sure if you wanted it to be vanilla balanced but if you did, this isnt very vanilla balanced, and i want to see the old ships.
8. Other then that i thought it was good, but it needs alot of improving, which i think you are doing at the time.

And i forgot to say, what happened to the old warhawks. They were so cool in the way that they were before only being kitbashed after the falcon. Now they seem very blank and boring.

Now that this is getting, eh, established, a basic listing of what's in the mod would be good. Just a big image compilation of each faction's ships or something.

I think the campaign needs a little smoothing out in terms of planets and fleets.  The planets are packed way too close together, they tend to pahse into each other if the game if played for too long.  We may need to get rid of one or two and maybe mash them together to get one better planet.

The pirate fleets also need more variety, not just one of two OP destroyers.  And seriously, those pirate destroyers are WAY overpowered, a lone player-controlled frigate should be able to take on a destroyer and win.  In here, it's just crazy.  I was aiming for vanilla balance, not something like Ironclads (no offense, just using you as an example, totally new weapons and ships based off of non-vanilla stats).

 The Grizzly close support variant can't fire it's tesla coil as it raises too much flux...or it's broken :(

Thing is, I just popped out a few pirate ships and didn't really balance then out much more before i launched DEMO 4, so yes, they are OP now, but they will be fixed in the close future. I an also aiming for vanilla balance, but the problem is, since we don't gave any vanilla ships to balance it towards, we'd have to create our own vanilla then ;)
Trust me that I'll be creating more ships today and balancing the pirates out. Thing is about pirates, I always imagined them having the worst shield generators (or none at all) best armour, biggest gun for ship class, worst hull for ship class, but it didn't turn out to be such :/

Well, we had an internal discussion on this, and we decided to use those sprites for the independents, as intended :D
