Hiya,It's been a month since the release of the major update. I hope that you guys had fun with the update despite its flaws and imperfections. I'm really happy to see that we have a nearly perfect approval rating from you guys, this would definitely encourage us to continue onward towards the finish line!
Oh, and I'm joyful to see some people paid attention to the lore of the faction too! Their positive impressions re-assures me that maybe there is a place for outsiders like us too in the modiverse. What's your favorite thing or lore piece in the mod by the way? Let me know down below in the comment section!
Anyway, you guys might be wondering - "What's next for the UAF?"
I think it goes without saying that it would be imperative to focus on improving the current patch by addressing the obvious issues, oversights and bugs first. So, several months will be dedicated towards improving the mod first before looking forward.
Otherwise, we have three plausible options to choose from.
Battlestations, Tech Tree Completion, and lastly - Quest and Lore Implementation.
Battlestations
I've already sketched out more than a handful of designs that might be interesting to put into the game but I have no experience to crafting a homebrew station for the game. This might sound funny coming from the insane man who made capital ships more than anything lesser than that but trust me - it's an entirely different beast. This would be the most difficult and challenging thing to do for sure.
Tech Tree Completion
This option is the most realistic path to choose post-update. There are only less than a dozen ships left just waiting to be remastered such as the Cherry Vanguard, the third and final rework for the Purcellyra and Persephone Natasya and last but not least - the Vioceleste, the long awaited Assault Battleship capable of fielding a vast array of superior firepower. This also may open the opportunity to do collaborations with any friendly factions to perhaps introduce something unique to the roster.
Quest and Lore Implementation
As I promised, I won't be holding back the lore of the UAF anymore. This means some portraits will gain permanent names and status within the faction. They will also come along with their own story lines with consequences and rewards, should the player decide to engage themselves further with the Federation. Believe me, every little thing will matter in the future as they will determine what kind of ending you might get in the UAF story.
Well, that's all I wanna say for now as these are something to look up to for the next update. I don't have a name for the major patch yet, so we'll keep the future updates small and compact for now. As always, thank you for your patronage and loyal support.
Sincerely,
