Me too!!! Can't get cable yet in KK's neighborhood. All the surrounding areas have it, though. (It must be a conspiracy!!! Yeah, that's it.)

I created the entire Sentarus map for this webstory, and it ate about four (or even five) hours of my time. Don't tell me you just want it thrown away from the webstory? ...

Um, Skyblade? I'm a pirate remember? We've been told Sentarus is "off-limits" (at least to start the game). No offense but ... KK does not give a hoot about your Sentarus map.
I care about the tracking and updating of locations of fleets ... in the EV galaxy.

The map you used in BFS II took forever to download at 56k. (And to avoid the fuzziness I had to do nothing to the screen until it finished 100% of the painting of the image.) Boring!

My friends, I have yet another new ship idea. To give credit where credit is due, SilverDragon came up with this for another webstory (Reign of Chaos) and I stole it.

Anyway, it's a tiny fighter powered by munition engines. Y'know, missiles? It's kinda fast. It has about 50 fuel, meaning that it has to return to a carrier every once and a while to get more. It's armed with three TP cannons, only, to keep down mass, but trust me, it's fast. When the Ghosts swarm you...beware.

Downloading it to his harddrive doesn't work so well in the game when it's being updated.

Of course, our cable didn't help much when loading it from f2s. Tried loading it off my server, Skyblade? Bet it goes faster for you. Loading speeds should be much faster...

Are you talking about (url="http://"http://saberstudios.evula.net")this(/url) (preview) page? All the images are loading fine for me. Try hitting refresh a few times. That should clear things up...

I reloaded the page about a dozen times and still just saw purple. Are you using a WYSIWYG editor to make the page? If you are that might be the problem.

Nope, I'm currently using Visual Page (which I've never had problems with in the past). Are you using Netscape?

Also, the background should be more bluish than purple...

Yep, I'm using Netscape. Guess that you haven't solved the problem.

Man, I can't believe this is still happening on a different server. EVula is on the job, so maybe he'll find something in the website that Netscape doesn't like...

Interesting idea I had. Would it be possible for a player to defect? By defecting they would take their fleet and whatever system they had, assuming it was friendly, with them over to the side they defect to. The recieving government wouldn't be able to build the ships that came with the new fleet though. This would introduce a new sense of intrigue into the game, and also breed a bit of life. A commander might defect suddenly, bringing a strategic system to the other side, only to do so again right when they were needed most. It would also help the players keep playing. For example, if System A with Fleet Ĺ was surronded by 3 pirate fleets, then fleet Ĺ might defect in order to survive. System A would go along with it and the pirates would have won a major victory. Of course, you would have to watch them for a while to make sure that they didn't try to defect back with a strategic system.

Also possible, is the idea of a surrender. In it, the surrendering fleet gets to go back to it's capitol world in exchange for giving up a percentage of its ships to the enemy, or surrendering a sector of half a dozen systems. Once back at their capitol they would be allowed to resume their missions. This would probably work better than defection.

I don't think that would work,Spacey.
It's a good idea,but we want a webstory,not Survivor:Worlds Beyond the Milky Way.

Yes, but then Skyblade's computer broke.

Asriel, do you have any pictures of the Ghost?

Also, Skyblade, while you're messing with the Sentarus map, could you rebuild the Original Milky Way map so we get some idea of where the pirate territory is?

And make it so that we pirates know where are territory is as well.
I'll try and make a picture for the Ghost if Asriel doesn't have one already. Might take me awhile though.

Nope, don't have a pic. Mac, did you get the email I sent you with full stats of the Ghost?

Yup, I'll get around to updating the shipyard sometime fairly soon.

I should have the Ghost picture finished by the end of the day. I'll be playing around in Lightwave so you should have a truly awesome looking picture.

That would be my hyper-fast interceptor. As soon as Mac gets the shipyard updated, you can check it out.

I know, I know... I had a major crisis to my life towards the end of last week, so don't bug me too hard about it right now, please. I'm working on a graphic for the Skyblade Frigate right now, and I'll probably update the pages once I get that done.
