Tremulous should just stay at the engine it is.  Other games have a much better engine which means people can play that. Some people like my self dont really care for graphics that high.   So I say just stick with making new guns and classes.  
most people have crappy computers and some of those crappy computers are decent but will lag with low graphics settings. Im just saying just stick with improving everything else except the graphics...

The GPP graphics are perfect just improve everything else. Weapons/classes/ player models/

"Most" people don't play games. The ones that do understand the importance of having at least a decent computer. I ran 1.2 successfully (and at a good framerate) on a laptop that was entry-level 4 years ago. By the time 1.2 comes out (face it, that gives them a lot of time), most of the people with that kind of hardware will have upgraded, especially if they play games. And the few who don't upgrade can just turn down the settings.
The engine is not that big of an issue.
Models, on the other hand, are where the biggest drops in frame rate occur. Better assets = more polygons and bigger textures = slower framerates. My PC can probably handle anything thrown at it, and so I want better assets too, but seriously, think about what you're saying before you post it. The engine itself has much less of an effect on framerate than asset quality.

GLSL shaders chew frame rate, so the engine does have a profound effect.
For instance and engine can have bottlenecks (poly count and efficiency) that make the engine a slug compared to a newer engine.

But shaders can be disabled, if the engine's set up correctly. Case in point = Sauerbraten.

Yeah that's true, I didn't "get(as in I didn't pay attention)" the initial subject of backwards compatibility with old PCs

What I would like to see is different game modes. Tremulous has good theme, and because of it, lots of potential for some campaing-type games, and/or some sort mission type maps (i. e. Blackout.)
