I'm sorry to hear about the recent problem you've been facing. Hope all gets better.

By the way, why did you decide to name this vessel the "Skyblade Frigate?" It seems like you might have said before, but I can't remember. Just curious...

Also, I got your e-mail requesting the textures. I'll e-mail them to you once I get access to my G3 tommorow.

Thanks. The problem is over now, it's just dealing with it emotionally... mostly, it just takes time to get better.

The HC named it in honor of former HC President Captain Skyblade, of course. Presumably (since we don't have an accurate history) he was KIA in one of the battles to drive out the Aliens after Levo. You may also see from the graphic why they chose that particular ship. Actually, I have a few images of it so far over on the Developer's Corner in the Mechanisto Resources thread - latest one in this post, since it's my first Mechanisto project and I'm learning while doing it. That one is admittedly a bit dated by the w00table Heavy Rocket launchers that I've added.

Great. I won't have it finalized until at least tomorrow anyway, I'm sure.

Spl_,don't you think you have enough ships now?
You could just use a Defender.Outfit it with your Tri-Photon thingies,and it will be nicely up-to-date.
Skyblade:Could you send me the graphics for your Turbolaser Turret?
I have the idea that my friend Tim Isles,maker of the Empire series,might like it for Heart of Darkness,instead of the graphic he is currently using.(I'm doing a lot of the graphics for HoD-the entire Dominion,the Empire Blockade Satellite and the Naval Supergun).
You would of course be mentioned in his credits,should he decide to use it.

Lord Asriel created it actually. And as we aren't doing anything at the moment, I agreed. Now, if I could only figure out how to use Lightwave...

I bet the Boofhead office is much closer to you Shade, since you're in NZ. I suggest you raid that if you want to play with Lightwave. Just wait 'til Nova is out for me, k?

Of course, the Boofhead office is ATMOS HQ...

They have Lightwave too, I believe.

Actually, if you fell like it, you could remove a bunch, since most of that is on my (url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs3/")main BFS III page(/url).

If you want though, you could add a link to my concept art for the Skyblade Frigate, which I should be able to post as soon as Skyblade sends me the textures. The latest one is - aw, heck, I'll go render a new version, since the new stuff is cool. Just a sec...

OK, the latest version is smiling at you. :)](http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/gallery/skyblade4.jpg)

It just needs a little more detail and some new texture files.

So can we pick a start date yet? It looks like we are ready. And what happened to General Rak?

We still have to wait for Skyblade to hash out all the Dreden technology, remember. I think he's concentrating on getting saberstudios moved first, which makes sense.

I've been thinking of e-mailing Rak, since I've been wondering about that a bit too. If he's left, the HC has a few problems.

All we have is me,and some Admiral Falcen guy who posted about 3 times and never showed up after that.

You still have RC, and Slider did show up. Once we get a bit closer to starting (once Skyblade gives us Dreden tech), I'll either post a link to the Roll Call topic or maybe just produce a list of players and their eMail addresses from it, so the government leaders can contact everyone.

Also, the main reason I say that we're in trouble is that Rak is probably our best fleet commander. Corey and ZenMasta are untested, but Rak was good enough in BFS II that my feeling is that he'll be my best. I could probably find another player to bring our numbers up in his absence, but I'm not confident that I could replace him. I'm hoping he's just on vacation or something.

BTW, Skyblade, did you forget to send me those textures, or have you not been able to get to your G3 with them? Since tomorrow is now yesterday and I don't see them in my inbox, I'm starting to wonder. Perhaps, you need your own TiBook, so that you always have your main computer with you?

Hey,that reminds me.
Although it has nothing to do with BFS III,Skyblade,I saw that oyu are working on the Confed set.
I've seen the Confed Patrolship and Firefly.
Are you going to create anything like a Confed Carrier?
I need one for a TC I'm working on,you see.

Perhaps, you need your own TiBook, so that you always have your main computer with you?;) I tend to forget such requests rather easilly, especially when you have multiple e-mail accounts. I've got so much to do, I can't remember it all (much less fulfill the requests). I'm probably going to have to drop out of BFS III once and for all and let you guys create whatever you need on your own, that is, if you wish to continue it. Don't push my buttons, since I might even have to leave the community all together if this keeps up. :frown: I hate stress...

I'll try to get those textures to you (Skyblade writes the request on his room ceiling :p)

Does this mean you are leaving now or later? And if you are leaving now, give us the Dreden tech stats and all that.

My point being, I'd like to leave all that up to whoever wishes to take my position as the Dreden Rebellion President. If UE Crusader or Jimbob wants the position, I'll give it to them and leave the Dreden tech up to them as well.

I probably need to leave BFS III now. The original problem is my fault anyway, since I made too many requirements (especially the graphics).

I can't do graphics worth c**p. I could use EV Sprites and change the colors, but I can't get into the graphic files without opening EV. I wouldn't be able to make anything in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, because I can't do it. Art isn't my skill. Becoming Dreden Prez I could handle, but from the looks of it were going to have to reshuffle teams if we want to keep this alive.

Like I said, graphics are up to whoever wants to do them. You can always carry through with a webstory without graphics, so don't worry about it. If other governments wish to create graphics for their race, that's fine as well.

So do you want the Dreden President position?
