Technical Development

Ehh... I've started work on Gatori and Elejee command destroyer...

But yesterday my computer died. Soo... untill the new part arrives...

Slug: Do you have the gatori textures? i really want them pleasepleaseplease. All my attempts are failing badly.

Good (er, not that your Mac has died, but that you have started work!!), keep up the good work. I am nearly finished the scenarios, afterwhich I will start on equalising all the ship classes. (Heavy Cruisers for all for example).

(I lost the weekend as I spent it activating OS X, and making it work the way I want it to work.)
My G4 PB never breaks down.... 🙂

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

Well, my iBook got it's new part, and is working as good as ever.

/Heads back to modeling various things...

Gatori And Elejee Command Destroyers sent to you in the mail. Check your inbox.
/Goes back to modeling like mad...

Checking......

Ah, there they are.
Thanks. Your agreed payment of $000000.00 is in the post!
I'll pop em into the plug tomorrow, and go for a test drive...

Sorry LCA, i've been suffering from a major modelers block, and buisy life. I've tried several things on the AST's and remaining command destroyers but none of them are working. So it may be some time before I am able to think anything up that will work. However, if you have some idea of what you want, drawings and such, could you send them to me? Its a lot easier if i have something to go off of...

I hate being unable to model things like I used to... Pick up strata and a few moments later ship... Maybe i've just run out of ideas.

Hmmm, does the expression "penalty clause" spring to mind... (Small print, paragraph 17diii, subsection 4c89).
Still, no worries.
The Assault ships are more important than the Command Destroyers.
They generally would be modified carriers or battleships, as a large platform is necessary for the ship. Extra engines would be a feature, and or a communications array.
The ships so-far are cool. Top notch, and handle very well. So munch a few caffeine pills and a tech manual or two and bang out a few more! (We always push our sceintists to the edge in this corporation!)

Hmmm, I seem to recall some mention of Australian help someway back....

I've done most of the modeling on the sal AST and CD. Also nearly done with aud CD.

I hate modelers block.

Ah, nothing like breaking through that "modeller's block..."
Those sal ships are cool, handle really well.

A suggestion for the Human Assault ship is to model it on the Marines mother ship in Alien 2 (as distinct from the drop ship).

Also, the Gaitori Assault ship could be a modified carrier perhaps, as they are a failing power and lacking in large platform designs and the rseources to develop new ships, especially having spent all their money on the new DDC...

/heads back to stellar engineering...

Aud AST, Aud CD, Gatori AST, Elejee AST sent to you LCA.

Thanx. Safely received.
They look good. Keep em commin...

So, have you begun any level-making, yet? And, if so, how many levels are done out of how many, etc.?

It explains so much...

The levels are all done, finished long ago, except for the ships and systems yet to be developed.
8 levels if I remember correctly.
That was the easy bit.

Hmmm, I might add a few more.

------------------

I think of "made" as "put together in Hera." From your statement, I take it they've been planned out, though not yet actualized?

------------------
"Humans are hicks."
- Paff's Law

Er, no, they have been completed, finished, done, constructed, and part tested.
I could post with what I have now, but I want certain ships to be in it.
So, a little re-arranging to be done.
🙂

------------------
Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

I see. In that case, how many ships are left?

Hmm, LCA, how badly do you need the Ishman CD & AST? I'm baffeled at how Nathen Lamont did some of the aspects of Ishman ships. Especialy in an old version of strata... I'm still trying to figure out what an Ishman AST would look like.
I have a few ideas down for the CD, i'll probably get it to you in a few days. Along with the Obish & Human CD & AST.

You can skip the Ishman AST. That is the one ship I do have, using the "Human Obish" hybrid battleship sprite.So no worries there.

About 10 ships to be done, that's including onboard weapons and functions.
I'm having trouble with some of the weapons, those bloody cruise missiles again,
wanna help?! 😄
