    • My original idea was just a massive plug-in that expanded universe added a few gov'ts, ships, outfs, etc. But now that I actually have a team please give me your input.

    • Note: I apologize to the moderators for the 3 back-to-back posts by me.

      I was thinking of a neat idea, unfortunately (as confirmed earlier) not an original one. If we were to do a TC we could get away from the space scenery and shoot for something like a medieval or even a Cold War plug-in. I'm posting this as to get ideas and input from you guys. Please give me responses to this idea and/or any ideas you guys have. This is where it all starts and hopefully we can start now.

      Thanks,

    • People I need feedback! On another note I now possess basic ship graphic skills. If you want to see them e-mail me. Thank you. 😛

    • I can write storys...space is the best for me, but hey, anything works. I can do textures OK, and my 3D graphics are much worse, considering I have no program to do so. But, I love to write storys for TCs.

      There are no true experts, only fools who believe they know everything. Believe me, I'm an expert on this.

    • Yeah, posts! I would greatly appreciate both your help. Thank you! On a side note I finished my first ship with an engine glow. 😄 Please start posting story ideas and other useful stuff.

      Thanks,

    • I think we could stick to the space theme. It is still much to come up with there!
      🙂
      Perhaps several human and ailien factions held their grasp on their small corners of the galaxy,
      and in the middle there was a no-mans land where war was vaged and battles was fought?
      Perhaps a mission string with exploring an unknown region of the no-mans land???
      Just trying to wheel your phantasy! Each faction will have their own storyline and one hypergate- esque thing which takes them into the other's territory? Yeah and in the very middle of the no-mans land is something that all the factions want.. But what the ***** is that?

    • Great idea, Simian. Sounds like a plan and that is the first thing we need to get started. Would everybody who said they would (or in Kame's case, might) help please post how they feel about this idea. If you don't like it please post a your idea or why you don't like this one.

      Note: Scalebone and other story writers, if you are going to write stories for this your imput is very important and everyone elses is to.

    • Yeah, I like that idea. Maybe it's an alien relic with strange powers...or something. I, for one, vote for the no-man's land idea.

    • I have been working on several ambient sounds for the mysterious unhabited no-man worlds.
      If you want to hear them, then send me a mail and they are yers

    • And yeah hey, perhaps another ailien race, concisting of pure energy (interesting ship designs, beam weapons) guard over the unhabited worlds, and the ailien relic (good idea Scalebone)
      is their lifeforce, like if they abandoned their empire (which is now the no-mans land) after decades of war and appear scattered (like krypt). Nobody talks about them until your character is threwn into a mission string that makes you find out more about them and find their worlds.... This could involve boarding their vessels (tension), visiting strange, unhabited worlds with surreal envhironments and plasma storms (exitement), blockade breaking and battles (action) and you are finally taken to the absolute center of our galaxy (a big, dead planet with glimpses of other dimensions and hellish, warped landscapes, with four moons that each have a large monolith which is visible from space
      and is holy to the energy ancients... OHHHH POSSIBILITIES!!!! I think this sounds extremely cool (sorry) I and a friend came up with it a few minutes ago... What do you think? Come with your own
      adittions!!!!
      😄

    • Sounds cool, Simian. I'll start working on some ships for that. I have a cruiser. It's the one I sent you Simian. I'll start working on an energy ship. If n e one could please send me an energy looking texture (I haven't made a texture yet). We have a plug-in.

      Thanks,

    • The energy beings should have ships that have like,,, Basically no armor, plenty of shields (fighter-type craft would be 12 armor, 160 shields)
      Basic weapons could be... hmmm... Names,names! The Scalpel, a thin, white
      beam weapon that has a grey corona and does 2 mass dmg, 3 energy dmg.
      This means that if it goes unchecked it will cause serious harm to your ship. We could compensate by making it short ranged, but no thunderhead lance ramming, that would be dull with hordes of stubby, white beams and ships swarming the screen trying to hit their foe. 😛 If we make them inertialess, it would get too Vell-Os-like,
      so we could make them move normally and everyone will be happy expect for their enemies. 😄
      Their engine glows could be diferent if we made them particle-esque, or like rings of energy that drift behind the ships and eventually peter out... The two appendages
      on the small ship i sent ZerakToman could glow as a special weapon effect. Tell me if you others want that concept picture i made. 🙂

      Also people feel free to send me some ships to do up for you.
