Its the same formula as Privateer with regards to bases, except that with this addition. The reason for having the ability to land here, is so the player can get a new contract, or save. Or just be able to take a break, and thinking about it now, I don't think having some repair facilities...

Well, the idea is that ships just land and take off here, so having a lot of runway and deck space is what you want. There's not a ton of crew aboard, its needs being met by the section on top of the landing bay. The fuel is stored externally as well, so the other grouping of crew qaurters are...

Here's an updated shot before I head to bed. Will see about gettin more done tommorrow. Also, the red box's are 6 ft tall.

the fuel base is purely a gas stop.

Well, I decided i'd had enough of studying and sat down to begin work on Pioneers first base. Now, Howard hasn't seen this as he is on vacation in a land as far from computers as he can possibly be, but I don't think he'll have to many objections to the overall design. We have a really good back...

Right now, not a whole lot. We've all been fairly swamped in the real world. If i'm not studying, i'm doing something that requires no brain power. Howard's been working like a dog at the company he works for and Joel's in the midst of school work. Now, I can't promise anything, but...

How can a game have modern 'wow' from todays graphics? Look at the work thats been done on Pioneer. That's how. While myself, Howard and Joel are all on a break right now due to real life getting in the way, its still on the table. It's not an easy prospect, and working on Pioneer has given me a...

I don't have any pictures to put up right now, but I'm a big fan of cats. I recently had to have my cat of 17 years put down, her name was Abigail. To compensate for that loss (and because the BOQ was to freaking empty) I got myself a new all black kitten by the name of Marina Raskova. She's...

Right now real life has me unable to do much in the way of modeling on the bases. Howard and Joel are both taking a bit of a rest. Pioneer is still in production, just right now we're all either rediculously busy in the real world or were in need of some time off. I'm hoping to get back to the...

cool stuff. the effects and camera work were good, maybe a bit to busy though. the biggest thing i could suggest is study some gun camera footage, or airshow footage to get a really good feel for closing speeds. the ships are moving way to slow, while its nifty that you get to see these long...

thats kind of a dumb thing to say to a guy whos asking for input from the community on what would generate interest. how are you planning on doing sets and what not? Physical or CG? Do you have any ideas already on what you want to do or hoping folks will generate them for you? only...

well, it was nice knowing you.

Howdy Folks! Bet you all were starting to worry. Well, don't! The project is still on track. Joel, Howard, and I have all been fairly busy. I've been working on the pieces for the bases. Its a modular system that will allow the pieces to be put together like legos. Its kind of a time...

Eh, considering an entire sqaudron of F-15's were downed by 2 F-22's they didn't even know were there until they fired their missiles, i'd say the machine does make a difference.

all the player will ever have to do is specify how much scoop power, or how fast. that's it. When you pick your scoop setting, it tells you the top speed and how much fuel you'll have left. the mechanics of it the player will never have to deal with as thats all going on behind the scenes.

cuz i did all the math and craziness for it. it all works out pretty well, its just a pain in the ass to explain. in spread sheet easy read form, its perfectly logical. but, in my crap ass attempt to explain....meh.

Fighters burn fuel when they light the burners. On the fuel gauge there will be a different colored section on the fuel readout which indicates about 20% of the ships overall fuel supply. That is the fuel dedicated to afterburning. As you kick in the burners, that 20% indicator will get smaller...

you can only own one personal ship.

capital ships will definately be a beast to tackle, and as far as scaling goes, everything is scaled according to their measurements.

i said fix, not buy. if he looses his ship, he's gone, fired. but if his ships shot up, you fix it.
