Eclipse Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 VERY nice SC!!!I do have a question though, I'm supposed to launch from destiny, but Nevuela is listed as having no starbases. ------------------ Commodore Kyle Antilles ICV-Eclipse, Destiny Starstation (Nevuela) Commanding Officer, Destiny Spectre Fleet[This message has been edited by Eclipse (edited 09-22-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing that now.There are only 7 that are color coded incorrectly:Tarean is Orange should be Red Centris is Oragne should be Red Nevuela Blue should be Green Rinaal Blue should be Green Lyrius Orange should be Red Antis Blue should be GreenIf that helps any. On a side note, as I looked for the above list, I noticed some odd combinations of castes for stations and bases:Tarean/Alpha Canis Station Terran/Insurgent Base Syrion/MilitaryPolaris-1/Polaris Station Mixed/Trader Base Mixed/RaiderLyrius/Sirius Wraith Station Terran/Mil Base Mixed/RaiderIn each case, wouldn't the station and base forces concentrate on the other until either the base or station was destroyed? Especially in the cases at Tarean and at Lyrius.------------------ Commander Tyrn Marcel GCV Falcon, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) S.O.G. Wing Leader - Wraith Fleet "Hard, Fast, Furious... FIRST!" Wraith S.O.G.

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 23, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Juan sent an update with the fixes that Eclipse pointed out, and I have re-uploaded a new set.Thanks Tyrn, I'll have him look into the color coding issues now. Please go over the map and compare to the BC3K. Apart from the new station and locations, if you see any inconsistencies, do let me know.I find nothing odd about the locations. For one thing, the Insurgents and Syrions are not hostile to each other. Wraith was built over there for specifically that purpose. Just ask Tac.

They just struck me as curious pairings. Building a military station to cover a radier base might carry certain advantages (we won't even mention the Corsairs right now ) Anyway, as I said those three just struck me as curious and I thought I should point them out. As they have the SC stamp of approval, I'm satisfied.------------------ Commander Tyrn Marcel GCV Falcon, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) S.O.G.

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 23, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 I haven't checked, but Juan informs me that he fixed the color coding yesterday, as part of the update I just uploaded. Did you check the new version yet?As for that Raider base, lets put it this way, Wraith is quite busy, in most of the recent engagements I've seen. I don't expect that to change either, in multiplayer. I sure hope you guys have good commanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other worlds are correctly coded.The other error is a typo and a carry over from the BC3K map which has the same typo. "Rebelan" is spelled "Rebellan" on the maps. I say that this is a typo due to the region being called "Rebelanz." quote: As for that Raider base, lets put it this way, Wraith is quite busy, in most of the recent engagements I've seen.

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 24, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2000 Thanks, I've passed the info on to Juan to fix.Also, Jason is in the process of building a 3D version of the map. If it works out as I expect, I'll be able to have the 3D version from within Tacops and the 2D version from within Navitron. We'll see how it goes once I get Jason's first pass of SOL.

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 25, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2000 ok, I uploaded the new map changes.Jason also sent me his first 3D representation of SOL and I've approved it for production. but that doesn't mean it will go into the game. Maybe as a later patch with access from Tacops. So don't go getting any bright ideas. Juan's new 2D maps, though, will replace those in Navitron.

Tyrn Posted September 25, 2000 Report Share Posted September 25, 2000 I've discovered one more problem but again it goes back to the BC3K map:Herin and Scorpia are not marked on the map as sharing a jump gate, but from my last visit to the Trenis system, it's clear that there is indeed a Herin/Scorpia jump. This jump is not detailed in the GBS docs or anywhere else for that matter.If the jump layout of the BCM universe was recreated from scratch then this may not be the case, but if it was copied then it probably is still there and still not reflected in the current map.------------------ Commander Tyrn Marcel GCV Falcon, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) S.O.G.

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 26, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 That was an invalid link which I have disabled in BCM. If you have the statics.scr file from the GBS, search for JMP-36 and you will see both link end-points.Here's a novel idea, why don't you go on a TOD and see if you can find anymore of those?

Supreme Cmdr Posted September 28, 2000 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 heh, I don't see how it makes running around Trenis faster. Herin is only one jump out of Trenis into Lanix-V or Arenis...unless of course you were over at Ronus IV - which isn't even part of that equation. To go to Scorpia from Herin, without this link, you'd probably go through Ronus IV, instead of Antis.heh, it was easier to break the link (an NPC found that one actually while I was running a pathing script) than to recreate the map.

Tyrn Posted September 28, 2000 Report Share Posted September 28, 2000 quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: heh, I don't see how it makes running around Trenis faster.Of course it only made the trip from Herin to Scorpia faster, but it made Herin to Darain much faster if one wished to avoid Antis. All others were still the same.Looks like the shuttles have just docked with details on anomalous jump gates:JMP-09: Mercury - Neptune JMP-18: Pluto - Staturn JMP-36: Herin - ScorpiaAll other systems conform to the map.------------------ Commander Tyrn Marcel GCV Falcon, Wraith HQ (Lyrius) S.O.G.
