New TC: Solar System

I'm working on a new TC and I am looking for one or more team members who can work on graphics. I can work on everything except graphics. I'm still in the planning process, and I will give as much info as possible. Each planet, not stellar, is going to have it's own system, with maybe a few exceptions. It takes place in our solar system and a few surrounding ones. The title is only temporary, as it doesn't sound all that great to me. The storyline is unrelated to the Escape Velocity storyline. As of now, there are at least five governments, some of which are the Terrestrial Federation, the Jovian Empire, Pirates, and the Centauri Federation. All names are subject to change.

If any more info is needed, go ahead and ask for it. Remember, this request is for someone good with graphics. I can do everything else, unless you want to help.

You might want to check out galaxy's edge, a TC for EV:0, this also had one system for each planet/station/moon. I felt it was quite a nice map layout it used, So it's worth checking out just to get some ideas.

What is the best way of contacting you? And do you want to help out with the background or storyline at all?

Sounds an awful lot like EVO's 'Galaxy's Edge' Plug, good idea but the guy over-did the targeting pictures and it caused the game to get really choppy. If you have the time download it for yourself and examine the creator's accuracy with astrophysics, he even added the planetary mass, diameter, and distance from the sun in AU's! I imagine it would come in handy if you got permission from the guy...

Galaxy's edge is one of my favorites. I emailed it's creator a while ago and we had a chat in which I learned plenty of cool titbits. Like why the teddy bear has no head. 😉

I would really like to have that plugin converted to Nova, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

As for your TC, I can't really expect much out of it. The amount of TC's I've managed to scrounge up that never got anywhere is amazing. The best thing to do is not to make a big deal out of your plug untill your half way through.

------------------
Cmon people, the (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&number;=20&SUBMIT;=Go")Chronicles(/url) are worth looking at.
I love Frigates, as is easily seen:(url="http://"http://www.dabie.k-ow.net/~glasskids/EV_Frigates_page.html")EV Frigates(/url).

heck, even half way through is too early. I'd say not until your ready to start accepting people for beta testing.

the cheat, what does strata do? Is it a renderer? If so, if we're working together on this, maybe you could render the stuff i make on wings.

First post in a long time...

Just a warning to a fellow solar-system builder- don't waste your time trying to make the planets/moons/etc rotate. There are about 3 ways to do it "reasonably" and all of them have major, unacceptable flaws. Just a word to the wise from someone who's been there, done that.

Good luck!

EDIT: I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, though! But it would have to be something beyond Azratax, Jonathan Boyd or my abilities, and it's darn near impossible to stump all three of us... 🙂

Septcanmat: Do you have AIM (or any other messenger) or can you get it, or do you prefer contact by e-mail?

The Cheat: I would love to have you do ships. I have some really cool ideas, and I'm sure you do too.

If we can all get on AIM or another messenger at a scheduled time, we can really get some work done.

Are you two doing anything tomorrow? We might be able to get started. What are good times for you two?

So I take it you now have AIM, Septcanmat?

Also, what time zone are you in? I live in California and am under Pacific Daylight Time.
