      Fleet Location has been added to the fleet box. Links to fleets for the government box is a good idea, I'll add that to the HC box. Can't add it anywhere else, since everyone else's armed forces section just says "None active." 😛

      Both. Double revenue, and a stiffer defense fleet. You may remember from BfS II that we made you give HC "Core Worlds" (e.g. old Confed planets) a stiffer defense when capturing them. This concept has been formalized for BfS III, and the Core Worlds give double revenue also. (10 million as opposed to 5 million per turn)

      BTW spl_cadet, you might want to change the BfS III Pirate Shipyard link in your sig, since your's is now quite thoroughly dated... 😉

      OK, I've uploaded the new map, as well as a couple of other minor cosmetic changes (like a typo I found in the Alien Shipyard 😛 ). As mentioned at the (url="http://"http://members.home.net/e-gamerguy1/ev/bfs3/")Homepage(/url), the map system has been optimized for IE 5. If you have that, use it. If that's a problem for anyone, I can probably put a second version of the map optimized for other browsers up fairly easily, although I'm not sure I'll be able to not make it look hideous in Netscape very easily. 😉

      Anyway, lots of stuff added to the map, Sentarus galaxy is there, and all fleets (all 1 of them, come on, I need more fleets to post!), capitals, and jumpgates are selectable. Both Milky Way and Sentarus maps are ~50k, and the other stuff that has to load is mostly negligible in size, so I hope that won't strain anyone too badly. 🙂

      Oh, and I may redo the Milky Way Map to match the size of Sentarus better - The Milky Way Map was based on a screenshot of the EV Map, whereas the Sentarus Map I made from scratch. If the contrast between them really hurts, I may go ahead and redo the Milky Way from scratch, or something to make it look the right size compared to the other.

      Systems with dark squares are core worlds. Price limit for fleets is $600 million and no more than $200 million per ship type.

      Yes, and also try clicking the little link at the bottom of each galaxy labeled "Display Map Legend". 😉

      Which reminds me, I need to add something to that...

      Mac, nice job on the maps and shipyards. I really like our pirate systems being GOLD. Arrgh! Pirates like gold, Aye Matey!

      Homepage Change Request: Could you make the "SHIPYARD" label on the main page gold, like our systems? That would be cool. Thanks.

      2. Didn't David Arthur say that he was going to join, back in the very first registration topic?

      Hi. I have had a long absence from the EV webboard... work; Planetarion; some other stuff.

      I will be participating in BFS-III. You can count on me. I also notice that finally things are picking up, and hope the webstory will succeed. I also notice that the imbalance of the sides may necessitate player swapping. On that account, I would like to say that I was the first player to sign up for BFS-III and would not want to be swapped.

      Anyway, can someone give me a status update?

      Great to see you again, Rak. Don't worry about getting swapped, since I think the HC needs five players to fight effectively, and you'll be our fifth, you're definitely staying.

      We're doing pretty good right now. Skyblade decided that he couldn't handle running the whole webstory, so I'm running stuff now. Most of the stuff that's up you can get to through the Homepage link in my sig. It's mainly just got the shipyards and map there now, though I may add some more stuff tomorrow. I'll have about 9-10 hours free to work on it. 😉 Definitely check out the map, in Internet Explorer if you have it, since it's lined up for that. The map will be a bit more useful this time around. 🙂 The biggest thing we have left to do before we start is get the Dreden technology, which Azdara Ace is working on with Skyblade.

      1. For the Pirates and Aliens, as soon as you want. I could use some more fleets to place on the map. I recommend you talk to your government leaders first to see if they have anything specific they want you to do, and get a fleet number from them. Those probably won't be important anywhere but the map, but I kinda need them there. Dreden players can't make their fleets yet, since Skyblade and Azdara Ace are still working out the tech. HC people, you can post or email me yours, though I may be working up some tactical manuals of some sort today and tomorrow, so you may want to wait a couple of days. I email you all if I do anything like that.

      Also, just be advised if you do put up fleets now that there's a chance you may have to change them if you get moved. I think Asriel, spl, KK, all HC people, and all the Aliens are pretty safe from that happening. I don't really have a clear view of how many Dreden players are around right now, so I'm not sure there. I believe Skyblade, UE Crusader, Azdara Ace, Jimbob, and Saint+ (if he's still around, saw him once on that stupid topic a while ago) are with the Dreden. If all 5 show up, I may have to move one. Aliens, I think we have Shade, RC, Dragon, and a couple others that haven't been seen in a while. If I've left out or misplaced anyone that's watching here, please post and let me know, so I can get a better idea of who is where. We're starting to get to a point where balancing the teams needs to happen very soon.

      If necessary, I might try to recruit a few more people from the Soda Wars too.

      2. I think there was speculation about David Arthur filling a neutral moderator role. If he wants to, that would be great, but I think he's been a bit busy these days, and I don't think it's strictly necessary, so we'll let him tell us if he still wants to be involved.

      David Arthur? 'Moding? This is good news, at least I think it is. What about EVula? Will he join?

      Nice job, Azdara. If you're true to your word, and you did do all those in Mech, than you do have talent. Have you considered a career (sp) in modeling?

      Glad to see you, Rak; RC. I thought you were gone forever... 😉

      Mac- There seems to be a bug with the Homepage. Yes, I have Netscape. 4.7, to be exact. I've had no problems before, and the bookmark (favorite, for all you IE types) hasn't gone screwy. You may be working on it at the time of this post, so if this is true, void the last paragraph.
      One last note: Before it was down, I looked at the Homepage's map, and it said something about "fleet mapping," or something along those lines. Is this some little applet you cooked up, or is Ethel just playing with me? 😉

      Thank you. Actually, I do plan to become a professional 3d modeller. Skyblade must be really busy lately, he hasn't posted here in days. Mac, do you think that I should take some initiative and make some more Dreden ships without being told what to make by Captain Skyblade?

      Whether I end up being involved will depend largely on how busy I am when BFS III finally gets around to starting, and how much work it looked like the job would entail. In other words, I'm not ready to promise my involvement at this point, but I haven't ruled it out either.
