Hmm...yes, suppose that ought to work. Try and keep the comm/probes a secret from the player for a while though.

I'm not shure i am going to be able to continue on this project. The new private school i changed to this year has lots of homework to send home with me everyday. (Homework is keeping me up till 10 most nights.) And i have my own Nova TC called Infinity that i have a devotion to finish... I can send you the models and everything, but my involvement in this project is probably going to come to a halt.

I'm beginning to think that there's little point in continuing this anyways. By the time it'd be done only four people would download it..lol.

We could potentially convert it to a multiplayer plug. All the stealth and lack of warp would make for interesting tactics. I think that's what we were mostly thinking about when designing the overall ship stuff.

I think the problem is that no one plays ARES online anymore. It's down to 2-3 games/week on GR max. Really, there's no point in continuing this project as an Ares plugin.
you could try to convert it into a nova plug.
------------------ BANG....hehehehehe

Fat chance. If a progect can't be compleated for Ares(which Hera is a thousand times easier to operate then res-edit) then there is no chance that it'll make it into a nova plug-in.
I know what i'm saying, having already made SAF for Ares and now working on Infinity for Nova.
well--there is a plugin editor for NOVA coming out ( (url="http://"http://www.ariossoftware.com")www.ariossoftware.com(/url) ) but i dislike NOVA and don't have a registered copy so it would be a bit hard to develop for

but still, what is the point of this good idea going to waste??
there are maby 3 of you that still work on this and there is not likely to be many more any time soon. EVN has loads of followers whos going to jump for a chance to work on a large (original) TC like this one.
------------------
Part of it is that we designed it for ares - the ships are meant to operate on the ares engine, and we tried to make it incorporate as much strategy as possible (for commanding fleets, not just flying a ship).
Don't we have a decently large portion of the ships coded in, already? I don't think it would be much work at all to just load the ships in and make it a multiplayer plug.

But what would the point be? take a look at the latest net plugins on the addons. something like 10-20 downloads over a month or two. That means there's probably been 0 games using the plugins...

Not realy, half of them don't even have any idea of how much work is required to finish a TC. Even with a jump-start. And the half that does have the drive already has their own plug-ins. Looking at the dev board, the "Great TC Idea!" topics only have about 5-10 replies. All comments but no-one willing to take it on.

I predict that you'll never finish it.
