LordDavid Posted April 18, 1999 Report Share Posted April 18, 1999 Ok, since you showed a pic of the landing gear, and mentioned the surface of planets, here is a question that I want to ask.Will the surface terrain look much better in 3020 than it did in 3000? I'm not just talking about higher resolutions, but more about the polygon count. So will the terrain have "rolling" hills more like the beautiful snowy hills of "Starsiege: Tribes", or will it look like a bunch of triangles?-David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted April 19, 1999 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 No comment on the terrain. You have to see it to believe it.Also, I find nothing wrong with the current terrain 'look' under Glide. The reason it does not look as good as Tribes, is because it is made up of 8-bit textures and is deliberately coarse for speed improvements reasons. When it was written back in 1996, I was deluding myself that the game would perform well on a P90. The terrain has not changed since. It is now 1999. Think about that for a minute.And it does have rolling hills, crevices, canyons etc. If you haven't noticed, its because you haven't looked. And if you've looked, then you must've either (a) had your eyes shut or ( running software on a crappy video card or © you have a blind dog.There is nothing special about the Tribes terrain, nothing...just high res textures on a generic map.I am not saying anything about PTE-II until I have screen shots. Needless to say, it rocks.Also, for those of you fishing for comments like this, flight model, PTE-II etc, remember these things (a) I'm getting better at ignoring/closing threads ( I only divulge info/pics as I see fit. No point in wasting your time asking. I don't just say things until I know that I can back them up. If I told you that the PTE-II technology puts everything else out there (I am not even including Tribes in this mix because it is generic) and that you will be floored, you will simply ask for screen shots and that crap. I will release them when the time is right. I already made one thing painfully clear, BC:3020AD is graphics marvel and the main focus is on its advancements. The 45 or so features are just what they are, features and updates because the engines have already settled down. Now, we have hardware only kick-ass graphics that'll make your head spin. What you see in the BC is nothing compared to what is going on back here. Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 19, 1999 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 I have an idea for the Insurgents that might work. I'll set up a separate FF scenario (like I do now) that requires the aspiring Insurgent to steal a prototype from Epsilon V (the name of an entire city in space and located in the new galaxy) base. He'll simply have to fight his way there, disable the craft, target it and go through the normal capture routine used for stations. If he succeeds then he'll be switched to the ship and his current ship scuttled.Just and idea I'm toying with. Besides, getting into Epsilon V is a bitch, especially if the protective dome is up.

Parias Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Just say the word Rattler, and I'll enlist my sorry career in spy school. Unleashing inside information to the Insurgents, make friends with the SC and then sta- er... maybe we should discuss that over private channels?------------------ Commander in training Parias ICV-Galatae ICQ:1293359 "I took this job because I love to blow sh*t up!"

Guest John Christiansen Posted April 24, 1999 Report Share Posted April 24, 1999 I was wondering what other new ships will there be since there would aleast some new ship designs between 3000 and 3020. What other new ships will the other races get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeriko Posted April 24, 1999 Report Share Posted April 24, 1999 Hey I've got enough ships to redo without having to worry about new ones okay? As I joked with Derek over the phone - what will be next - a request to make the Interceptor transform into a robot? -Jeriko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted April 24, 1999 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 1999 There won't be any new ships. We are concentrating on retexturing the existing object database. The only new models will be all new surface ones for threats, city building etc, as well as a few stock entities for creating cities in space.The Starion is the only new ship in the game. The other ships will get some sort of facelift at Jeriko retextures them. Some will be replaced entirely but at this point, I don't know which yet. Don't ask.
