cadet, for the record KK's history -- and reason for becoming a pirate -- has ZERO connection with your "United Democratic" whatever. KK is technically a "resigned" HC-er (who disagreed with the forming of the HC in the first place). The curruption at the top of the HC turned KK off (KK's first post in BFS II made this clear).

KK allied with the pirates in BFS II because the pirates have the closest thing to "pure honor" in the story. (And the only way Skyblade could handle this in BFS II was to categorize my position as "another typical pirate lie." Can you believe it? Some of those HC leaders actually think sweet 'ol KK is ... twisted. Amazing!)

---------------

Mac, I agree with cadet. We are so outnumbered the "undeclared location" feature from BFS II should remain for us pirates.

Alright I added the anti-aliasing to the (url="http://"http://www.geocities.com/spl_cadet/ghost.html")Ghost(/url) but I kept the glare for two reasons. First is that I'm too lazy to delete the engine glows and make new ones. Second is: with this thing's speed, it is going to be bright as heck.
Right now I'm working on a replacement graphic for the Drake. I'll end up changing how these all look probably.

Spl, that's a nice pic for the Ghost. It does have a bit of glare on the engines, though... As for the "fog of war" thing for our systems, that might not be appropriate, seeing as the HC waged war on us after they cleared out the aliens. Our core worlds should be unseen, however.

Mac, I just sent you an email regarding the Ghost pricing.

Sorry, but I have other commitments. I joined this as a fun aside, not for responsibility.

Bottom line: Someone else will have to be found to be the President of the Dreden Rebellion. **

That's OK, Skyblade has decided he can handle being president, just not doing graphics. It's good to see that you're still here though.

Right. Besides, you aren't outnumbered in the slightest now, unless GR comes back. I think I'm going to have to e-mail him, I'm going to be in serious trouble without him around to help out, methinks. I don't really see any reason to hide your core systems either...

Well, that's the same data I had. I meant if you had some special reason that the speed wasn't as effective as I'm thinking.

I do intend to redo the Sentarus Map sometime soon. Right now I'm finishing up a revised pic of the Devil Ray to go with the soon to be revised stats. About the only things left to do are finish the map, get Dreden technology, and possibly balance teams a bit.

I'll let Captain Skyblade and Azdara Ace work out Dreden tech together. Just remember that you can pull some graphics from (url="http://"http://tmgmedia.net/tempo/Shipyard.html")here(/url) if you want, so you don't have to start from scratch and build 10 graphics in a week or something.

Speaking of modelling, Skyblade, can I please get those HC textures someday soon? Could you move the note from your ceiling to your hand or something?

I'll try to get those to you soon. I haven't been able to get to my G3 lately (which has all the textures on it), but I have remembered your request.

As for textures, are you just wanting the general grey one applied to most of the BFS II graphics?

That's the big one, but as long as you're at it, could you throw in the red used on the Battlecruiser and maybe the cockpit/bridge viewport texture too, as free samples?

Haven't been able to get to your G3? I think you need a TiBook, Skyblade. It would probably render things in Infini-D faster, too.

My current 8gig one gets occupied quite quickly.

You silly people! It's NEVER going to start.

Skyblade and Mac were hired by a "Soda" company to do a study on Advance Product Announcements: How Much Promotional Activity Will "Balance" Over-Ambitious Early Product Announcements?

So far the Soda Company figures their professionals -- based on Skyblade's & Mac's "study" -- could announce a product TWO years before they even begin the R&D.; The next new product will honor this study by being named "_________ Ambrosia."

(Don't believe me? Watch for news of Mac's & Skyblade's new G4s. Coincidence? You silly people!)

Damn. Skyblade, he's onto us. Quick, get a mod position so we can check his IP to track him down, OK? I do want us to be paid for our work, and not have it ruined by some overly bright meddler.

Actually, given the current level of enthusiasm, we're considering revising that estimate to three years.

You mean Skyblade's new G4. I already have one.

============

Meanwhile, back at the farm, I've updated the Devil Ray's stats and graphic. The graphic still needs some textures, but those will get put on when they arrive, which I'm sure will be soon enough.

I should probably also mention at this point that the HC is now using Enhanced Space Bomba and Heavy Rockets, basically, they just launch faster. In the case of bombs, they drop at full speed of the ship, which is more realistic. Heavy Rockets just go a bit faster, making them slightly more accurate and longer range. We're talking a very minor change here, so I don't see a need to increase prices. If I get a weapons page up someday soon, that should be clarified a bit.

But either way, ph33r the Devil Ray and it's Space Bombs.

I believe we are waiting on some more Dreden graphics/stats, and possibly some team balancing, how long this will take I have no idea though. For some reason, I'd think I'd place my bets on a week or more, but for a real response that is not generated randomly, you will have to ask Mac.

Seeing as the Devil Ray was obviously not made to beat fighters, yes, the Ghost would kick its @$$.

Oh, and Mac, ph33r the Starscreamer and its 10 guided propulsion mines.

Upon hearing your statement, I rid this webstory of the Ghost fighter. No ship is to be used in this game that is "indestructable." And even if the Ghost is a super-fighter, it's going to be quite pricey...
