A dev's log. - Vladimir - 10-13-2011
Actually, if we're talking about bases and their covers in omegas, i'd like to add that Freital cannot rape a legate. Actually, it cannot rape an Osiris next to it. Shields, sure. Anything more? Nah. Rheinland Battleships camping it is not so unthinkable as you think, we actually had to deal with it on usual basis for some time. And speaking of 30,000 people meaning kick-ass defences, Vogtland houses over 1 million, it sure could use a buff too.
Basecamping is bad, but basecamping with battleships is bad too.

As for station turrets - we request that FP1 have Isis Grade firepower please

RHA will have their own Turtle-a-way battleship in 4.86, I seriously doubt you'll need to worry about basecamping as much. I'm actually a little more worried that Hessian indy BS users will start using that tactic in the Omegas, for instance, blocking the O3 side of the O3/O7 gate and pewing anything that's not a transport...
... but then again, I'm a pessimist. Busy day today, haven't been able to get any devwork in yet. Planning to work on the Renzu line replacements this evening, and also recheck the hardpoint naming conventions for a few other ship models that were submitted. I'm pretty sure they are correct, but it won't hurt to check. Then I got roughly another 150 ship icons to check and then tally which ones need replacing. And find someone who'll be willing to make those icons, since I haven't got a clue how. Printscreen out of Milkshape is meh.

Few questions.
1. I assume that the passengers there are the kind pending from each house and are worth differently pending on their destination correct?
2. What is Nox?
3. Holosculptures. Will the icon for them be Cortana?:ylove:
4. I assume that Aluminum (And yes I agree it should have been called bauxite) will be in the Omegas and Tau's..Unless you are finally putting a mining field in direct Kusari/Liberty space to liven things up a bit?

Aeternus Doleo, what about Firefly and X-shuttle moddels?

Quote:1. I assume that the passengers there are the kind pending from each house and are worth differently pending on their destination correct?I don't know what you mean by "worth differently", but the IC bases in each House (except for RH where they'll be at Planet New Berlin) will be offering passengers for transport to other Houses and Freeports (FP on a limited basis). Some Freeports will also participate in this passenger network where it can add something useful - like Freeport 4 which is currently a dead end for trade.
Quote:2. What is Nox?Wouldn't you like to know.
Quote:3. Holosculptures. Will the icon for them be Cortana?I don't remember what the icon looks like, but no.
Quote:4. I assume that Aluminum (And yes I agree it should have been called bauxite) will be in the Omegas and Tau's..Unless you are finally putting a mining field in direct Kusari/Liberty space to liven things up a bit?Wrong on all counts. Bauxite is not found in outer space, it is only found on planets after aluminium has impacted after being formed in space. Our aluminium is being mined in space and is therefore not bauxite. In Sirius, it will be mined in the field near Raubling Station in Munich. The other source is a GMS mining base in Gallia. The reason it was added is that aluminium is already cited in other commodity infocards as a raw material.

That is not hard, If you have current icon (with wrong image) and screenshot of the ship you need, then all you need is to make a small image and turn it into TGA format, and then with UTF editor you replace image inside .MAT

' Wrote:Aeternus Doleo, what about Firefly and X-shuttle moddels?Those might eventually be replaced, but not for 4.86 beta 1. I have to draw the line somewhere, and drew it at the homeworld imports because they're -both- imports and look like crap in comparison to the rest of the mod. Firefly, Spatial and X-Shuttle will not change. Yet. Vidar/Rhein Pirate Cruiser (same model, different texture) is also on the wishlist, but that's probably distant future.
Update: Still busy with those damned hardpoints. Figured out a way to speed up the renaming process however, by simply using Cannon's UTF editor. Saves a boatload of time if all you need to do is change capitalization. Now working on the Renzu line ships. Looks like what's now the Renzu VHF was originally intended as either a 2 torpedo SHF, or a bomber. The new model will be configured accordingly. Maybe a miscommunication somewhere back in 4.85... that Renzu thing could have been a ship akin to the Recycler. But that's for another day. Right now I'm following the request from balance lead: Equal hardpoints, equal-ish size if possible. That should reduce the amount of work Mjolnir has to do himself. Haven't been able to get to the icons yet, pushing that to the weekend I guess.
[Edit] Allright! Renzu line replacements uploaded. That will be the last ship models before beta. Anything else will be deferred to a later update. Next stop: Iconville.
