Another key update in Beta 2.0.2 is an improvement to the team color shader and the texture masks used to display team colors on the various models. We recently brought Lt Commander onto the development team to do texture work. As such you can expect some significant improvements to HUD and interface textures in future updates.
Enough talking! You can download the full ZIP (7zip) for Beta 2.0.2 on Moddb, but we strongly recommend using Desura to handle this for you.
