MAC USERS WANTED TO TEST EVENT EDITOR

We now have a version of the event editor that runs on Mac computers so we are recruiting Mac-using volunteers to join the planet test team and try out the new version of the editor. There are a few requirements:

  • You must be an Engineer or higher.
  • You must have a customized planet in the game that you designed yourself - no stock planets!
  • You must have been able to follow the instructions to get the files linked into the game in the first place without me having to chuck the files back because they contained errors.

If you use a Mac and would like to volunteer for the planet test team please send an email to feedback@ibgames.com. Put Fed2 Planet Test Team in the subject line, and give your Fed2 character name and the name of your star system.
