I just became involved in this community and now this happens. It is truly sad. Origin, there is no words :(

I am moving this conversation over here because I think we would be going somewhat off topic if it continued in this thread.

H'm, never even considered a story line. I have always thought of Armada as being primarily a strategy game. Here's some detail of my plans. The user will only see the systems that he has explored but must also spend time looking for the jump nodes to other systems (I won't make this take a...

Found the thread here. Now that I re-read my post I admit that it isn't exactly what was going through my head (that part at least). I didn't mean expand on Battlezone but an expanded version of the game found in the thread above. Seems to be somewhat similar to what you are talking about...

Me! My vision is a MMOG style one. Progress is slow but steady. Once my next milstone is completed I'll have some screen shots to show you all. I'm trying to be as close a possible to the original. The thread that I am posting my progress is here Eder, I can't find it on the forums but...

progress report Completed random universe generation code (also checks connective-nes) and got the home world placement upon registration working (makes sure you are at least 5 jumps from anyone). Next is getting that data from the server to the client to render it. This should produce some...

I started using DOS on my parents first computer in the early 90's (486SX 33) and I resisted Win95 for a few years until it became absolutely necessary (ie games were coming out win95 only) on my own P166 (non-MMX). Around 98 I found Linux and then OpenBSD and I now use the latter pretty much...

I don't know about that. I mean, there is dodgy physics and then just completely wrong. I'll let the questionable stuff go (ie "flying" in space) but when one of the fundamentals of physics known for hundreds of years gets thrown out the window (ie gravity), that's when I draw the line...

I found Space above and beyond an amazing show. They even put in some parallels to what happened to the Marines during WWII! I found the WC movie... lacking in many regards. I think they changed things too much for my liking. But, I did find the matrix like effect it had *very* impressive...

progress report I thought I might give a progress report since I've got some tasks completed. Got registration code done on the website (just on my hdd right now, web later). Next on that is home world placement and setup the initial fleet. Client gets to login screen, gets/sends user...

I got mine here and got that site from the WC CIC here

Preacher, I do believe that you and I don't see eye to eye on many things. You believe what you believe and I'll believe what I believe. I also think that we have both misunderstood each other to one degree or another along with everyone else. And as such, I will retire from this thread...

<trying very hard not to insult anyone> From another angle: Prove to me that (s)he is "straight". I do beleive that I am refering to how people are treated by what they are and *not* why org they may be affiliated with. To even touch on your terrorist comment, is, I think too far off topic...

So there is no difference between the different carrier classes? Would anyone have a problem if I fixed the times between jump nodes? Possibly varying the times between different jump nodes within the systems.

<being very careful not to insult anyone> First off, my cousin is gay and he didn't have a choice. It is the way you are born. Second, to discriminate against anyone for whatever reason is IMHO a violation of human rights. And I would not say that gays are useless. Marketing firms know...

Then given some average speed for a carrier what would be an appropriate time for a carrier to travel from node to node within a star system? Running some numbers it would take 14.5 days for a Ranger Class carrier to travel from the sun to the earth at max speed (assuming I didn't make a...

Both... kinda. For things like construction it makes sense to have some script running once per game day. But, for movement it doesn't make sense to have a carrier only able to do one jump per turn as it just has to go though a jump node and then turn around and continue it's journey. So...

I don't think that we can pass judgment on an organization as big as the UN based on what just one part of it is doing. I'll use an arbitrary example in no way reflecting reality - to my knowledge at least. Let's say that the RCMP is grossly over budget. One can't say that the government is...

One could just avoid that problem and get the UN involved. It would alleviate the US of this problem and make it a world matter. That way no-one can really complain :)

My decision to not include flight sim is not final. But, I did make it mostly because of resource limitations and limitation due to MMOG. First and foremost it'll take one hell of a pipe to push that amount of data to the users involved and I'll be running this off my own personal Internet...
