FEATURES: 7 new classes (Scout, Morale Officer, Commander, Hologram, Engineer, Plasma Specialist & Starfleet Marine) and 7 new weapons (Particle Gun, Ion Ripper, Plasma Cannon, Temporal Decelerator, Grenade Launcher Type II, Anti-Electrical Cannon, and Inverse Tractor Beam), and new features. Flux game-mode also available, in Flux, when you frag someone they join your team, teams can fluctuate constantly, game ends when everyone ends up on the same team. Thirdperson crosshair (it actually changes crosshair location according to your view when in thirdperson mode), sentries, cloak on demand, walk through walls, borg transporter technology, airstrikes, health stations, armor stations, flashlights, tricorder radars, disguising holograms, ignite enemies on plasma, alarms, locational damage, headshot awards, put enemies in a temporal state that they cant move and more. WHATS NEW IN THIS VERSION: Inverse Tractor Beam (Grapple) Particle Gun Anti-Electrical Cannon Compression Rifle altfire improvements (see Sniper changes), which makes the old Sniper rifle obsolete. Scout class (Infiltrator & Recon were merged into this new class, which combines the 2 a little and adds some extras) Better botcode. (weapon switching, scouts jump more, all bots run). Class speeds are hardcoded to prevent wrong server settings from being too fast for the classes Bugs fixed (fixed ones that had to do with the Hologram class, bots not switching weapons, airstrike beacon dont blow up on enemies, items like the alarm,shields,stations,tripwires disappear on disconnect or switching teams, and a lot more) In the Flux gamemode everyone gets the Inverse Tractor Beam (Grapple). "Unessential sprites" hidden. All classes can see the Plasma Soldier using the Borg Teleport. Dont show playernames for non-team members except for Medics. Holograms wont show their name or health to enemies, not even Medics. Flashlight was removed since it wasnt truely functional due to limits in the Q3 engine.
