So am I, but there's gotta be someone in this community who can give you a step-by-step description on how to create a torrent.

Artwork people already are having a field day, sneaking around now.

Torrenting it would be awesome, both for Andons bandwidth usage and ease of access.

'unity25.1' As in.. Rixian Unity? I thought they were little gray men?

Awe...

I think there is a good chance that is an early dev pic of when rix werent aliens and looked like that, but then slowly got weened away from that image until they were the little grey men, and the bios were left overs

That's plenty alien. Awesome cyborg humanoid. Fits great with the high tech rix.

There's a early dev chart with a different alien race for each faction.

Can somebody tech savvy explain somethign to me though.

How come Allegiance only loads up the enhanced textures when they are encountered in game? I'd like to use many of the enhancements from Mesial's site, but when loading the build sphere animation for the first time freezes the visuals for a second... it's just not worth it.

What the heck is going on? After they've been loaded once, there are no problems. Why not load them at launch?

Also is this something that will get fixed at a later release, so we can start to make use of the larger official textures made possible by this utterly awesome find?

R5 has a checkbox to pre-load textures before you get in game.

Oh and you guys (or gals) who have already figured out Andon's link, 01 is very incomplete (my computer hiccuped while transferring), I'll let you know when its fixed.
