Hello everyone,
today I want to present you a new Update related to the Unit Pack of this Project:
Commander Survival Kit Units (CSK Units)
This Unit pack is currently available in Early Access on my Github Repository only, because it is still in Development.
3 New Techlevels:

The Mod expands the Game with 3 new Techlevels which are called:
Elite
Hero
Titan
Overview:
Elite Units are basically the large Tech 3 Super Heavy Units
Hero Units are Heros of the Factions such as Brackman, Colonel Arnold and so on. Including with a few new ones by myself.
Titan Units are basically super Experimentals for example the Avalance from Total Mayhem
New Cooperation Units by Cory Freeman:
I have successfully Contact Cory Freeman a 3D Artist on Artstation who had Work on two Unit Pack Mods. One for Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and the other one for Supreme Commander 2 in Detail. However both never had reached the Final Stage for an Release and has been scrapped. I have ask him to get the full Permission to Get, Edit and Use these Models for the Commander Survival Kit Project. He gave me the Permission and has send the Model Files which where created in 3D Max and I have found an Blender Plugin to Open .max Files in Blender.

So his Models will finally see the Light of the World in the Commander Survial Kit Project. Several Models are excellent and their Parts can be used for several other new Designs and Units in the future. 😉
Here is the First Wave of them:
'Bronx Mark IV' - Cybran Elite Super Heavy Tank
A large armored Heavy Tank, which is armed with an 3 Barrel Proton Cannon Turret. It comes with 3 additional Secondary Rapid Fire Impulse Laser Turrets, which have two Barrels. The Tank is currently buildable by Tech 3 Engineers or SACU's but this will be changed with the introduction of the Elite Factories later.

These Units are now available in Early Access on GitHub and included in the Mod: Commander Survival Kit Units (short CSK Units).
Commander Survival Kit Version 2.0.2:
The next upcoming Version 2.0.2 of the Commander Survival Kit will be released soon. It will contains alot of Bug Fixes for the FAF Version of the Game, The first supported Language Translation: German (Localization) A few new callable things and Improvements
However that is not all Version 2.0.2 will be available on the FAF Modvault as well. The previous Version was simple to large to upload it on the FAF Modvault and I was able to reduce the Size of the Mod from 710 MB to 336 MB by removing two Folders which where no longer be needed. The FAF Modvault has an upload Limit for Mods of 200MB so if there are larger they will be not uploaded. Version 2.0.2 is with nearly 51 MB if compressed below of this Limit, which makes the Upload functional again.
Two new upcoming Submods:
Commander Survival Kit Tutorials:

The Tutorial Videos of the Helpcenter for both Managers will be included in their own small Submod which is called: Commander Survival Kit Tutorials. So the Helpcenter will be usually not available if you don't activate this Submod next to of the Commander Survival Kit.
Commander Survival Kit Timeos:

This is a new small Standalone Mod, which introduce 3 new Lobby Options into the Game.
The Player will be able to set the Wait Times, when these following Techlevels will be unlocked:
Tech 2, Tech 3 and Experimental
Elite, Hero and Titan will be supported later if CSK Units is released
9df05dd5-e2f7-4b81-8dcd-f1f34e1984a2-image.png
You will be able to set the Wait Times from 5 Minutes to 2 Hours
How does this Mod works:
The Player and the AI will start with Tech 1 first.
The other Techlevels will be unlocked once their specific Wait Times are exceeded.
To know which Techlevel will be unlocked next you can see it with this small Panel next to of the Economy Panel.
It shows the new Techlevel and the Gametime when this Techlevel is going to be unlocked.

CSK Timeos is currently available on my Github Repository as Early Access for Testing and will be released on Moddb and on the FAF Modvault soon. It works with the Vanilla AIs, M28, AI-Uveso and more.
Stay tuned for upcoming Updates and the Annoucement of the Releases.
