Guard Systems

[Dab]

This is mainly directed to Igiss, but comments would be appreciated. I'll keep adding these things


Shouldn't we put battleships/frigates for sale on guard faction shipyards?

Such as zoner shipyards in Omicron-54 would sell Zoner Juggernaut, Rheinland guard shipyards would sell an Rh BS at their shipyards, etc, etc. same with factions that have Frigates not battleships, their shipyards (that will be smaller, as they are a smaller organization than Zoners, or the RM) would sell the Frigate. So all shipyards sell their largest ship. Organizations that do not construct any capships of their own, just wouldn't have shipyards.


Also, I think guard system ships should be increased in difficulty, as I see Zoners in FALCONS in Omicron-54, with an eagle leading. It should be all Eagles.

Yea that would make sense about the shipyard thing, have the GUard bases sell the factions cap ships and such.

lol i still cant find the junkers system tho lol.

Also, I think Guard factions and bases should allow missions. Such as Outcast guard gives missions vs. Corsairs in the guard system, but there are no actually corsairs there unless the are mission-spawned.









*Spoiler*

Junker base is Puerto Rico. Next to Texas.

Yea i know it was in texas but i just nenerv knew the location of the JH. It doesnt matter.

But on the thing about guard systems and missions. They should give you missiosn that streach all over that factions territory. Sort-of like a central command/HQ type place?

You can't make a missions given in one system for another system. You plant mission areas inside the system, and thats where the bases send you. It can't go from one system to another. Good idea though.

actually not true.

before when I played ioncross they had out of system missions. but that was way back when and they changed it. and they got like 100+ modders and coders and people like that.

That being something we lack..

Well Newport Shipyard has been constructed, as has a sensor array (the one you destroy in New York in the story line) protected by weapons platforms. Now I just have to add to Freeport XV, add in a few system-modifiers *cough* decorative things *cough* and I'll move onto the next guard system.


P.S. Angel, if you could post here what guard systems you plan to edit that would be useful, so we don't have conflicting files.

I know that in Liberty you can accept missions that are in Diff systems, But they must have changed that then........

Weird

Oh, here is a big question for Igiss..

Can we put Outcast ships (small amount for now, next versions they will get more and more), and then add some onto some of the Zoner base's bars?

Excellent idea having shipyards, makes sense for the capships and would also eliminate the problem of certain big ships launching from planets after they are bought (is that solved? too expensive to buy a Rheinland BS on Stuttgart just to test that :))

I think I had a few missions that went into another system in 4.79 - like Outcasts on Buffalo send you to Texas to kill Liberty Navy and maybe one from Alpha to Kill Corsairs in Theta... they are very rare but they do exist.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
