Commander Survival Kit (A new SIM Mod)

How long until the full release of your mod?
I just redownloaded FAF after my hiatus and remembered your mod.
It was a blast to play with the previous versions!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@comradestryker

If everything goes according to plan, we will see the next official version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version: 1.20) between Christmas and New Year's Eve this year. If not then in January or February 2025 Until the new version of the Commander Survival Kit is released, you can download the official developer version from GitHub at any time. The Developer Version will be expanded with new functions and features with the next Early Access updates. At the moment the development progress for the next version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version: 1.20) is progressing very well.

Looking forward to it!

@comradestryker
Regarding to the new upcoming Version of the Commander Survival Kit (Version 1.20). The Development of it still progressing very Well and several new Features has been added to the Mod recently, which I will present here soon in the next Development Report. There are a few other Features for Version 1.20, which are still in Development and they will be presented later. However the finished new Features can present already.
So stay tuned for the next upcoming Development Reports. 😉

Greetings! I liked your mod, very cool 🙂 I think it would be great to add a function to disable/enable abilities in the game lobby, for example, if we want to play without air or airstrikes

@cychwa_klaymberg
Hey glad to hear you like it. 😉
Nice Idea and Suggestion do you have I like that
The Integration of New Lobby Options to Enable or Disable callable Land, Naval or Air Reinforcements from the Reinforcements Manager in the Match can be added into the Mod.

New Lobby Options for Air Strikes and the other things from the Fire Support Manager are possible as well. The only thing is the Mod will introduce a large additional amount of New Lobby Options into the Game, which could overwhelm some Players at the begining. But I think it makes the Mod fully customizable and even more enjoyable as an Result

I completely agree with you. Flexible game settings will make this mod great for any type of battle, including Survival modes 🙂

New Structures

Drop Turrets and Devices Section:
Players will be able to call Drop Turrets and other Support Devices in the next Version. Both have Access to the Enhancement Upgrades which can be used to Upgrade them with new Abilities, Weapons and other Effects. You can see here an Preview of the:

They will Not be buildable by Engineers, ACUs or SACU's compared to regular Turrets. So they will be callable only by the Drop Turrets and Devices Section from the Fire Support Manager. More Details related to them will be presented in the next Development Report.

Several other Improvements:
The Spawn Mechanic of the Air Strikes, callable Air Reinforcements and Others which are similar to them has been Improved. Expandable Maps with Playedable Areas (such as Campaign Maps) are now supported by this Mechanic.
