Polaris 4.75 - Jamez - 03-28-2006
The polaris server needs more ppl. :(
Wolfpack, (i know this sounds a tad insane) could u advertise the polaris mod on the disco server?
Also, Denier u need to change the Capships a bit. They need to be more like the Capships in 4.79 with the stronger shields.
Also, could you incorporate the 'deathwish AI mod' and/or the 'spinning planets mod' into polaris? Because that is one thing FL lacks, even discovery and that is realism

I'll be giving it a try soon :)

You mean the shields aren't strong enough? Well, I did boost their recharge rates. I'll see if they could use some more energy.
As for Wolfpack advertising my server on his own, I seriously doubt it. It's nothing personal, though. I wouldn't do it if I was in his place.

Even if I wanted to, I can't.. no room for posts :)
Maybe after I implement another little server tool that will give me more room for banners.. Who knows.

I worked so hard on that banner, and look how they ruined it. Photoshop could've resized it without any loss of quality or distortion. But what the hell... at least they've uploaded it. Now all I have to do is wait for someone to offer me their hosting services. Something tells me this is gonna be a loooong wait.

@Denier
I fixed the pix's. I understand the hard work people put into their labor of love, but we @ The Lancers Reactor have to work within the confines of our own code that runs the show. We never claim to be "state of the art" of websites, but the community appreciates the services we provide them. I didn't conscientiously attempt to "ruin it." I was in a hurry to get the information up in lights. I figured that was more important. PNG's can not be used...period. That's why JPG's are used pretty much exclusively. See the updated posts about Polaris:
Polaris News post and Polaris download page I did the best I could. It is an improvement, but far from the quality of work seen using PNG's.
I've also (finally) posted more information submitted by you guys promanently on our front page. :D

Thanks for fixing the banners, Stringer. :)
By the way, can you add the following link to the Polaris server news as well?

To Denier,
Well i was on the server today and ther was 4 people on! WOOHOO!
Looks like polaris may take off!
BTW can u plz put the cruise speed up to 350.
EDIT: 8 people now :)
Polaris 4.75 - Denier-of-Soup - 04-04-2006
Yeah, in the next version. If anything else needs improvement, post it here. :)
Polaris 4.75 - Jamez - 04-04-2006
Denier, i have an idea.
Discovery 4.78 includes all the interesting things like armor upgrades, scanners, tractor beams, chain guns, and makes Omicron Delta more accessible. Also numerous other goodies i cant remember.
Could you base polaris on Discovery 4.78? It is much more feature-packed, just take the non-FL ships out.
IMO that would make Polaris even more fun without spoiling it.
Polaris 4.75 - Denier-of-Soup - 04-04-2006
Bleh... armor upgrades would change the gameplay. That's what I'm trying to avoid.
By the way, the cruise speed is already 350, it's just that the speedometer can't go above 300 in Polaris. Igiss modified it in Discovery 4.78 to show the real speed somehow.
