    • The Corsair Development Team


      As some of you may know, I've been working on founding a building a website devoted to the new Corsair Development team. As of now, I just got the website on the web, and the there are only a few links currently working. (The "Escape Velocity" link is fully functional) I put about two to six hours into the website every day, so keep checking it out for updates. The Corsair Developers will be a group of graphics creators and developers who make plugins for all the Escape Velocity games, and currently our flagship product will be the upcoming total conversion: "The Dreden War." We are as of now looking for developers to join us, and in order to do so we request a plugin or graphic created by you along with a description of the attachment. (Carno, I heard you were interested...I won't need a graphic or plugin from you since I've seen your work. ) Diddlysquat is a member and current head of the plugin development department, while I head up the graphics department. Please visit our site, give us feedback: What does it need? What does it NOT need? And if you're interested in joining the team, please contact me as sirpatrick@tmgmedia.net. Thanks!

      Says who!? I never said that!! 😉 (j/k) Yes, that's true. The Corsairs work on one plugin at a time, and our flagship product is "The Dreden War," so we would love to have participants. (At the moment I really need graphics designers who can do landing pics like space stations and planet scenes.)

    • If I have enough free time(which I doubt), I'll do it for you. The only thing I'm really good at though is simple landscapes, but I have Bryce 4.

      That's fine. Just one image would be appreciated. 🙂 And landscapes are what I need, so feel free to donate any images you have if you want.

      That's really quite true. As the only person in the world who can see vers. 0.2d I can safely say that any help would be amazingly helpful (specifically graphics, since we're doing a redesign of all of them).

    • me thoughts I posted earlier but...

      I was wondering if I could join the team. To see my current stuff, go to the EV Gallery. I have a pretty good grasp on Strata 3D, though I'm still new to it. I'm also okay with Photoshop (Skyblade has seen those images as well 🙂 )

      Thanks 😄

      Sure Jive, you're welcome to join the Corsairs. I've seen plenty of your work, so I know what kind of graphics you can do. 🙂 So you want to work in the Graphics Department? That's great...E-mail me all your info for the membership board. (Name, web board username, and CD occupation.) I'll also need to verify what you actually want to do in the Graphics Department. (things ranging from making planet graphics to plugin intro screens)

    • Hah, Galaxy's Edge will 0wn Dreden War 😛
      If only I could spend more time working on it and less time playing it. Nova torpedoes, flux waves, photon bursts... the battles are so beautiful 🙂

      Hehe...Then lets pretend your Microsoft and the Corsairs are Apple. 🙂 We do plan on maxing out all the features that the Override engine will support, (systems, missions, ships etc...) so hopefully "The Dreden War" sill have some form of success. Although since it is our first plugin and total conversion, I'm sure there will be plenty of other plugins that are better.

      Well humph! Because of that I'm not going to play GE!crosses arms and pouts Seriously though I think that GE will be better but not by much (and you never know, we have good graphics, will have good desc/missions, and good programming so don't be so cocky!).

      Hehe...I won't touch GE either! 😉 Seriously though, none of us should be out to compete against each other. Sure, Dreden War will have good graphics and plenty of missions and systems, but wether or not it's the best depends on one's opinion. What matters is if the gamers enjoy the plugins, not the producers. 🙂

    • I'm almost done with all your pics. I'll have probably 5-7 once I'm done. After that, I'll stuff em and send you the link to the download.

    • I could help with the dësc's, for I am a sci-fi writer that loves his hobby (Star Wars sci-fi, but in Real Life I'm a high school junior :D), and I do good work. I could direct you to where my current BIG project (the Star Wars version of the Arthurian legend, its called "Dragerron") is posted, but the Web Board where it is is down (all of us Holonet Members are NOT happy), but for now just send me some stuff to do dësc's for, I'll send you guys the dëcs's and then you guys can decide if my writing skills pass the test. BTW, to make the Dreden War the best it can be, let ya'lls goal be to make a plug the equivilant or the better of Martin Turner's "The Frozen Heart" and "Femme Fatal." Its always a good idea to aim high. 😄

      Descriptions? Hehe...Ok, I want you to e-mail me a description of the Vulcan Neutron Turret. 🙂 (You can find it in the "Weapons and Outfits" category under "The Dreden War" topic on our website) Take a good look at it, read what we've already written about it, and make your own description (as it would be seen in the game). That's all I request. 🙂 Seriously though, I would appreciate it if you would do that.

      And Espeidia will own them both 😛 But let's just say they'll all be cool.

      Sure thing, one Vulcan Neutron Cannon coming up soon. I'll send the dësc sometime this weekend, b/c school has me too tied up to do much serious (to me, POS writing equates to ENGLISH PAPER blechhhhh) writing. But never fear, the Jedi Master of Brass is here. 😛 😄
      -Oh, and Capt. Skyblade: I agree w/ you, all this in-development plug-in competition is useless. I'm sure all will be great (but especially if I get to do the dësc's :D) (that was my ego talking :D).
