:hammers: I am in the early stages of development of a new Final Frontier mod, "Beyond Earth: The Uncharted Galaxy". :science:

This mod is planned as a total conversion of the original Final Frontier, using only the existing graphics. It will include a storyline written specifically for this mod along with all new factions, leaders, units, and buildings. I also plan to reimplement Espionage, Corporations, Great People, and Wonders into the space setting.

Current development is all on paper only, nothing is implemented in-game as yet. As soon as the basic details (backstory, factions/leaders, units, buildings, tech tree, civics, religion, game mechanics) are done, I will start implementing in-game.

BEYOND EARTH NEWS:

Current Version: NONE
Development Stage: Planning
Next Release Version: Alpha 0.1
Next Release Date: 30 June 2008 (Depending on progress)

What's New & What's Next:

:gold: COMPLETE: Backstory developed showing the events leading up to the start of the game.
:science: IN PROGRESS: Development of Faction and Leader backgrounds and unique attributes.
:health: NEXT UP: Development of units, great people / great leaders, buildings, Faction Wonders.

:yuck: STILL TO GO before next release:

Development of Galactic Wonders, Civics and Religion, Corporations, Espionage and Diplomacy, Tech Tree
Implementation of ideas on paper in code

Bump
Looks cool! Can't wait for another FF mod.

Nice, sounds good so far. Looking forward to it.

A couple things you will need to be careful of:
-Great People: The great person bar will need to be moved at some point, as it sits under the planet display in FF. I would recommend putting it above the culture bar. This does not need to be done immediately as it is still visible.
-Corporations: These will be quite complicated. You will need to re-implement the button (this requires a theme change, as well as numerous python changes). You will also need to fix an issue with yields not being applied to the city.

Good luck!
