BFS III Pertinent Info III

I plan on getting at least a dozen when I make them available Posted Image Enemy fleets will go boom quite quickly.

OK, I've updated most of the stuff I wanted to. HC shipyard has 2 new ships, updated graphics for the previous two I created from scratch, and slightly modified numbers on some other things. Alien Shipyard has two new ships, and a couple of slightly modified stats. Dreden shipyard has their new ship. NOTE The prices on the new Dreden and Alien ships were slapped on on a few seconds notice, not my usual methodical work, so they will likely change somewhat tomorrow. The price list hasn't been updated yet, due to chess club and my parents hogging the computer, I didn't get quite as much done as I wanted too.

The map has been partially updated. Again, I don't have everything I want up there yet, but it should be enough to give you an idea. When you load it, try clicking on some things, like, for example, the HC fleet icon and the Sol system (those are the only two that work so far 😉 )

I'll post some more new stuff and more details here if needed tomorrow.

One other note: In order to preserve my sanity and get this thing started sometime in the next decade, I'm freezing all shipyards except the Dreden one (for obvious reasons) until we start.

Is this your real fleet or are you just putting it there for the time being? Also, although the shipyards might be locked, is it possible for us to still create weaponry? Pirates have very few weapons compared to you HC folks.

Quick request: on the map could you put what the system defense fleets are for each system? This would make it a bit easier and fairer for when fleets begin the great rampage.

Weapons are going to be frozen too. What's the point if you can't make new ships? Besides, you pirates are fine on weaponry.

Yes on the fleet. Which brings up a point, if you add up the costs, you'll get 597-something million. While kicking numbers around, I decided I liked the fleets that could be created for 600 million much better than 500 million, so you get 600 million to start now.

I'm also notcing here at school that the map links are showing up in the wrong place, which could potentially be a problem. Anyone else have that problem? They looked fine to me in OmniWeb at home, and they're way off in IE here at school. The fleet icon should be next to the Polaris sytem, and the other link should be roughly centered over Sol. Anyone else have any problems with it? I may have to talk to EVula a bit more.

Also, Defense fleets won't be on the map, because I'm not going to make every sytem clickable. Way too much work.

I like it. Basic, yet pretty much what I had in mind. Why'd you have to give it better speed than the destroyer? You're hurting my budget! 😛 😉

Stats for the "Oddyseus" class Heavy Destroyer:

Shields: 600
Armor: 600
Speed: 400
Acceleration: ***
Turning: ***
Fuel: 6 Jumps
Price: 15,000,000 credits (Mac gets the final call on that, as always ;))
Weapons:
8 Plasma Beam Turrets
2 Plasma Torpedo Launchers
15 Plasma Torpedoes
2 Turreted Plasma Stinger Launchers
200 Turreted Stinger Missiles
1 Heavy Fighter Bay
2 Heavy Fighters

Next project: A heavy capital warship, intended as a large fleet gunship (it isn't a carrier). It isn't terribly sleek, and has two main sections (front and back) connected by a thick neck structure (middle). Fins emerge in the back section, and weapons are mounted on the top and bottom of the back section, while additional weapons are located on the sides and bottom of the front section (not the top, since the bridge occupies this section). It's armament will be something like this: 10 Plasma Beam Turrets, 10 Plasma Beam Cannons, 4 Plasma Torpedo Launchers, 40 Plasma Torpedoes, 4 Plasma Rocket Launchers, 40 Plasma Rockets, 1 Cloaking Device. For the size, this will probably be the most expensive ship in the Dreden Navy. Good luck, and keep up the fine work.

They are. Did you try reloading the page?

Probably soon, yes.

I'll try to get that Dreden ship up a bit later today, Skyblade.

As for the map, after testing it in all the browsers I could find on my home computer, here are the results I'm getting:

OmniWeb 4.1 beta 5 (OS X only): Correct
iCab 2.6 beta (Carbon): Correct
Opera 5.0 beta (Carbon): Essentially correct, maybe a bit high
Netscape 6.2 (OS X): Just a bit lower than they should be
IE 5.1.3 (OS X): Somewhat low
IE 5 (OS 9): Similar to IE for OS X
Netscape 4.77 (OS 9): Low to the point of being totally inaccurate

Interesting how the beta versions do it best... 😛
Anyway, anyone else want to verify any of that, add browsers to my list, or give suggestions for fixing it? For now, given a choice of browsers when viewing the map, pick the highest one on that list.

Skyblade! 10 turrets, and 10 cannons? How powerful, exactly, are are these cannons?

He's said they're about Neutron Cannon grade, which would make them slightly more powerful than your Tri-Photon Cannons.

(Testing updated sig...)
(Seems the forums didn't update it, I'll have to go try again)

Hmm, link shows up in my profile but not in the last post, odd. Maybe it'll show up this time?
(Arg! It still didn't show up! But it does in my profile! One more thing to try...)

OK Mac,I looked @ the thing again,but my Heavy Cruiser doesn't turn up even when it says the page has finished loading.
I also looked @ the map.
You click on capitals to get faction stats,right?
And fleet icons to get fleet stats,right?

Shade, it is there. Did you not only look at the page again, but load it and then tell the browser to reload it? The most likely thing is that your browser has the old version cached, which reloading should fix. If that fails, dump the cache and pull it up again.

Correct, though mine is the only fleet and Sol is the only functioning capital at this point. What browser did you use, and how did it look? As a reference, my fleet icon should be just below and to the right of the Polaris system.

Correct. Don't say my ship is overkill, cadet... You don't have anything to talk about. 😉

Sorry about the lack of detail, Captain Skyblade. With the amount of time I've been getting on the computer lately, it would have taken forever to complete with detail. I'll try to make the next one nicer...Also, is there something like each government can have one secret ship that remains a secret until it is in a battle, and then all of the stats are given away? That would be really really cool if we could do that, because I have a really good idea for a secret "experimental" ship.

Yeah, you might find out about it soon...But if the government was smart, they would save their new design until near the end when they needed some suprise. I think I like this idea, though it's probably too late..... :frown:
