i hardly ever see belt exp. i always see sup, or a sup/tac combo.
also... im not sure how hard it is to get models into game, but you seem to work pretty damn quick, 'ym

I can't tell you for sure what will happen; but it the looks of it's going to be a pain in the ass for the whole rampage... Here's a pretty list:
----------------------------- List of things done:Models: (Wings3D = Intuitive, hence the fastness)Learn how to make textures: (I learned and mastered to some point Paint.NET through all the artwork creation)UV-Mapping: (Quite an art of its own inside Wings3D, bugg-ish but much more user friendly)High-Res Textures: (This was pure fun)CVH's: (I gained a fobia to those)Joints: (Loads and loads of cool effects. Much more fun than cvh's)Random crap: (Lobby image /Commercial /Flag /Projectiles /Icons /Briefings /Sounds /Etc...)MDL conversion: (Done, but AMT is trully picky about some things, I may try to add some info to the Wiki soon)Find a nice core to merge the faction into: This will be Raptor Core. Maybe it will be added to more cores in the future, who knows.PM the said core's dev to explain the faction / ask if he will embrace the work: (Make above; compile big PM; send)Upload the chunky .zip over the net to said dev: (Make above; compile small PM; send)List of things on process:Deal with balance: On the works.List of things to-do:Wait for new core version to rise: (Twiddles thumbs)Distribute the chunky .zip over the core's servers. (Free delivery!)Deal with the AutoUpdate: (167 MB's of pure bandwith chokiness)Play the Faction! (...?Yay?)-----------------------------
EDIT: Updated it a bit.

Yeh what Andon said. Basically there is a limit to unique tech that can be added, however if a faction doesnt have unique tech, or a small amount of unique tech there really isnt any problem with adding a faction to the core. One of the reasons i removed nix from CC was, it took up far too much space and was never used.
You can also have special tech if it follows tech numbers already used - TF uses PE instead of PW - however, they use the same numbers as regular PW weapons, and just have the TF unique ID as well

you have still done one hell of alot of work (it sounds) for a faction that is a few weeks old, great work
