I'd also like to help.
Oops! Did I just let it slip!? Btw, I'm just an Ares webboard newb.
------------------ "A life without danger is no life at all."
I'm currently working on a Star Trek plug-in for EV Override, but because my PowerMac died, I'm using an emulator now, and Hera happens to be PPC native and I can't run it (even though Ares works).
Though I have limited time, I'd be more than interested in beta testing it; I can probably offer any mission idea or whatever help you need; I just can't work on anything directly using Hera.
My personal opinion is that you should do the Dominion War, with some Borg trouble and Romulan intrigue thrown in the mix.
I've done and will continue to do considerable research in Star Trek (and especially its ships); if you have questions I can try to help out.
I'm also working on an LCARS-style interface for EV; if you don't have one I could try to cook something up for Ares (though my graphics skill is a bit limited...but LCARS isn't that hard to do anyway since it's mostly solid colors).
Well, I hope to hear from you, I'd like to help.

Well. I just got back from my weekend exersise and I have a bad cold. I have read all the replys. Firebird we will need your help with power balance with the ships and also the story linw. I was thinking that the war would just be to much. like the Deminion has taken this planet. go take it back. or destroy this ship yard.

Hmm, yes, power balance I can do. I have actually downloaded a number of short video clips from various episodes to supplement the few videos I do have for Star Trek, and I should be able to judge some of these things fairly well.
Basically I feel I could serve as a sort of Star Trek consultant; though my interest in Star Trek has only bloomed recently, I think my research skills could be of some use to you.
As far as storyline goes, I'm not quite sure what your concern with the war is; it seems to me that the DS9 Dominion War stuff would fit Ares better than anything else (when was the last time you saw huge numbers of ships being sent off into battle? the Borg?). The opportunity is there for the action/strategy hybrid game structure of Ares to really implement Star Trek well.
Of course, you're the head guy, so I'll leave it up to you to decide on everything. But anyway, what's been done so far anyway? I'm sure I could offer input on what's been done already.
What has been done so far is getting all of the ships that we have sprites for up and working in the game. 2 toturial missions have been created and we are debating what to do the missions about.

Good Sign,
Man I hate GR. It juat let me on after trying for 2 days. Well the encoding and getting the graphics took a vry long time. we even have graphics of little races. Brookeview. send me a copy of the plug with the tutorial. and then after I email you back send me a plug with no missions only the ship sprites. I'm half done making the read-me with the information. I need this inorder to right the read-me for developers. I know you know what I mean. since we talked about this on GR 2 weeks ago? any way, lets do a dominio war. but I will have to go and get some breen ship then. only ones I dont have. unless someone wants to make it for me???

Sounds cool. If you can drop me an e-mail whenever you feel I can help, I'd like to start. Only problem is that I have AP testing coming up, so I might be busy for a while. Actually, I'm a busy person in general, and that's one of the reasons I think consulting work would be best.
Well, in any case, I look forward to seeing this great piece of work you guys are making.
Well Now

Huh?
Is anything actually happening with this scenario or what?
I dont know... It will soon though.
Sorry I was gone so long but now that finals are over and school is out we need to get restarted on this thing... The first thing we need to do is meet on some app Gameranger or an AIM variant or ICQ whatever you want I can use all three. We need to outline the missions and once that is done the plug can be finished in just a couple of weeks.

Is this just for the dev team or would my presence be tolerated?

I think you qualify as part of the dev team... We just haven't had a meeting in around a month .(Which is mainly my fault)
Yes. My aim name is Jager00925. Find me..
How about we meet at three (central time) today? Oh and Jager I saw you online for about 15 seconds but was playing ares and couldn't get to the IM app in time to say hello. I typed hi and before I hit send you were gone...

Yep. Your on my buddy list. So see you then
Whoops; I need to be checking this board more often.
Haven't seen Jager on AIM yet, but probably also because of my lack of checking.
Anything new?
Me and dan talked for a good 2 hours. We have decided on a story line. But i'm going to let dan fill everyone in. But lets just say its going to involve a small little goverment!!!!!!
