I have to disagree there, if that was the case the Nephilims would be EONS ahead of Confed technologically. This said, it's fairly clear to me that the Steltek have a very automated culture... (self repairing drones that last for millions of years mean that they were designed to be very...

wow, that kicks ass!!!!! As I said, Steltek and Nephilim ships aren't contemplated in the autogen, meaning that they won't spawn by themselves. Neither faction has production points. So as it stands, if in WCU you see a Neph ship, or a Steltek ship, it's because you are flying a plot...

thanks ^^; well, what do you suggest i do to improve it?

and this is why I'm NOT doing plots for wcu :) i'm not a good script writer. I'm just working to make sure that the universe is "ecologicvally stable" and flyable around so that people can plug plots in easily. does the steltek fighter look a little better?

piarmada rocks! Say, can I help on a couple of things? I found meshes for the transports and I redid the flak gun on my spare time... stuff like that.

I swear I saw some BlairxTolwin slash fanfiction somewhere....

The AI won't even attempt to fire the PTC at anything smaller than a dorkathi... this said, IF a PTC shot is fired AND the steltek drone happens to fly in its path, it's toast. I redid the steltek fighter so that it looks more like in the (only) image we have of it. This is suppsoed to be...

Someone might have found a Steltek drone factory, tried to reactivate it, and lost control of it. (I like this second one better, because then someone would have to go try to find the REAL stelteks to get their help in clean up the mess). by the way: due to a bug that I can't be bothered to...

Well, re the Steltek fighter... I started from the broken fighter shown inside the derelict in Privateer https://www.wcnews.com/ships/images/p1fighterthumb.gif that's the best I could do to make something that would look somewhat similar. I keep telling people I'm not an artist ^^; if...

Looks like the "beak" of a squid to me.... http://www.spiritplumber.com/priv_remake/renders/stelint.jpg This is my take on the Steltek light fighter that you take the gun out of in Privateer (the guns go at the "seams" in the wings and don't show because WCU uses modular gun meshes). I...

Also keep in mind that the Emperor probably has lasted a very long time compared to ordinary Kilrathi: he's been smart enough to avoid assassinations or coups this far, and he obviously has access to the best medical technology of his race.

Could it be that the Tri-System people are, say, descendent of a colony convoy that jumped very far due to a quirk and either haven't really been able to contact the "mainland" or didn't find it practical to because it's very far away?

Sorry ^^; it would be cool if we found a gravitic anomaly though... and very much agreed on the space program. as for the weapons cache: Priv Remake has it and Gemini Gold doesn't.

Maybe it's a jump point. ^-^

A quick note... With a couple of exceptions, so far we only have WC1/2/3/Priv ships in. The exceptions are the Durango and the WC4 Banshee, because they're really the most representative ships of that game. I put an "executive veto" on putting the Dragon in WCU to avoid munchkinism ^^;

I have the opposite concern -- Gemini Sector (nevermind the rest of the universe!) is big, how are people going to meet?

Mods are a good way for people to learn to program though...

consoles? uhm, how the heck do you play a rts or a fps (decently) without a mouse? how the heck do you make a game mod on a console? thanks, i'll stick to a real computer. Consoles are just excuses to get people to write emulators. :P

I beg to differ... Vegastrike STARTED OFF as a Priv remake but then Hellcatv figured he'd do original work to get rid of potential IP shackles. The Priv remake project continued as a spinoff, then silly little me came along and said "let's expand privateer". I would still value your input about...

aww...
