Thanks to Scar, the main thread and the format have been redesigned to provide important information and look like something.
Now, we're looking for any speakers of Italian, Chinese, Romanian, French, Hungarian, Spanish and other languages to translate the thread for use on sub boards, and external language forums. PM me if you want to help. We'll also be adding the localization for all the available languages for the next update.
As far as mod development goes, we had two weekends of beta testing, and everything should be ready for the release in July. Explosives have been recoded and re-added to the mod, Conquest has been fixed and a multitude of other things you can keep track of on our Trello. Hopefully a new blog will be put out this weekend!

Greetings, everyone. What follows will not be your usual development blog with new update progress and screenshots, it's a very important announcement in regards to mod development.
After more than two years of being the head developer of Star Wars: Bear Force II, the time for me to part ways has come. It has been a great pleasure, and an honour to work on this mod and with its amazing community. Time however, takes its toll as with everything in life and it's time for me to move on. The entire team has worked hard over the years to make our vision come true, we've learned and progressed a lot. You'll be hearing from us soon in regards to our new standalone project, we're not going anywhere!
However, this isn't the end of the road for the mod and the community! A new lead developer in whom I carry deep trust is taking over. Most of you familiar with the community surely have crossed ways with Mark, who will now be at the helm of the mod's development, together with EmielRegis - a new coder. They'll have a new strength and vigour to carry on with the mod development in a vision of their own, which I assure you is no less impressive than what we've accomplished so far. Mark and his new crew will soon provide a full blog to introduce themselves and the plans for the mod's future and direction.
I would like to once again thank the entire community, all the developers, contributors and all those who helped this mod reach the very top of what is considered modding games. It's hard to find the right words to express what an experience all of this was and what it meant. But, that's life, and the show must go on.

These amazing posters by Emir Turnaround are an invitation to the r/mountandblade mod night on Bear Force II! A rare and unmissable opportunity to experience the mod with 150+ players once again!
Also, the OP was updated with links and I've added the github links to the mod's open source code repositories now. Enjoy!

We're looking for translators for the following languages: Chinese(Simpl.), Chinese(Traditional), Español, Français, Turkce, and Russkiy. The aim is to translate the Multiplayer mod on those languages to increase availability for various language groups. If you're interested, PM me. Discord use is a requirement!
It's all part of the greatest incoming update to date, 1.0. You can track the whole Road to 1.0 on our Trello.

Thanks mike!
Some previews on the revamped environment and weather for the next update:
The majority of the parts in the rework were ported from Battle of Europe, so you can expect all the randomised day/night time, weather, volumetric clouds, wind speed/direction all in-game
