Hunted Posted August 28, 2001 Report Posted August 28, 2001 1. First off Sc are you the ONLY one still working on this if so wow....thats incredible!..2.When we choose a side and a cast...are we assigned a ship or de we get to choose it?
Cmdr Nova Posted August 28, 2001 Report Posted August 28, 2001 We won't eat you, JJ. You're the new marine recruit in Orion, right? Then good.At least you're getting yourself acquainted with the game universe, and everyone else here.1. He's got a team around the globe, working along with him. Of course, he's doing most of the coding himself, so it truly is his game.2. In a Fleet, you may get a ship assigned, or your FC may be nice enough to ask your preference, and check their available resources. (But, you ain't gettin a StormCarrier...) As far as I know, you get a ship assigned, in Single Player.

Rico Jansen Posted August 28, 2001 Report Posted August 28, 2001 Nova, If you answer Q#2 by what the demo does, do remember that that are instant action missions, not Roam. ROAM(freeflight) wouldn't be as free as it was intended when you got your ship assigned by the game. Ofcourse, whatever ship you get is based on what's available at a station/base. And that, is like Nova said, based on your race/caste too. Stormcarriers are for Gammulans only, and trader stations don't need BCmk2s and the sorts. That last one is my opinion, but I'm sure the SC's too.
Supreme Cmdr Posted August 28, 2001 Report Posted August 28, 2001 As of now, yes. The rest of the crew already wrapped up their BCM work about two months or so ago and are working on stuff for EFC+GCO. I'm the only one on BCM, wrapping it up, doing whats left etc. The others have already answered
Hunted Posted August 29, 2001 Author Report Posted August 29, 2001 one more and i'm done with questions for good sc....this has been talked a little bit on the orion boards....how will marines be handled in play...like how will they be transported between planets and systems and such....MULTIPLAYER WISE I MEAN
LordDavid Posted August 29, 2001 Report Posted August 29, 2001 quote:Originally posted by JJ: like how will they be transported between planets and systems and such....MULTIPLAYER WISE I MEAN Dunno of all the ways, but I think you can hitch a ride from one of your buddy pilots.
Supreme Cmdr Posted August 29, 2001 Report Posted August 29, 2001 quote:how will they be transported between planets and systems and such....MULTIPLAYER WISE I MEANUsing IDP pads in single/multi player. You don't see it in the VCF because I commented it out because I am not sure whether it will be in the first version or not. If you download the current VCF, you should see the entry commented out, just above the 2.3.09.04 entry.Here is easy, for the lazy: Implemented InterDimension Jump, IDP, technology. This works similar to existing jump technology. It allows you to hop from one IDP pad to another, within the same planet. In debug mode, you can hop to IDP pads on any planet in the galaxy. When you enter an IDP pad, a menu consisting of the valid IDP locations, pops-up. From here you select the desired destination. After responding to the Y/N prompt, you will be transported there. This tech was implemented because in some career modes (marine), due to the vast planets, there is no way to leave your friendly base to go and attack a hostile one. Even using a vehicle can take too long. With IDP, you can hop from location to location at will. The FP mini hud displays the heading to the closest IDP pad and is shown as an inverted T on the heading scale.Notes: IDP pads use derivatives of tech used for the HSD artifact All mzone scenes have two IDP pads. More will be added for multiplayer, along with portable IDP units IDP pads cannot be destroyed You have to be in FP mode for an IDP pad to activate It doesn't transport crafts or vehicles (only in debug mode) and won't activate IDP pads are restricted to the current planet (except in debug mode) and only show list of IDP pads on current planet To prevent abuse (in non-debug mode), (a) you can only use an IDP pad every 15 mins ( it reduces your LF by 5 units each time you use it. You can also hitch a ride on vehicles that allow passengers.[ 08-28-2001: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]
