Help
I dunno, that just upsets two big missions. I was hoping that some part of vital pirate data showing plans for a pirate übership, however, they only capture half the plans, the other half the piates have, so each is trying to get at the others throuts. And so spinoff into nice story.
Maybe a P station capture, they capture one of the minor stations, and pick up some of the plans for the pirate übership, and then the pirates find out that they part of the plans in the station and try to go back and reclaim it.

Suppose you can handle the CF2 missions how you wish - they don't affect anything outside of Proxima so we don't have to worry about plot discontinuites I guess...

well they're certainly not going to be released yet with only 3 of the 7 factions coded in, 3 of the 7 shipsets rendered and no missions coded 
Besides, a single release with the whole plugin and all 5 campaigns will be easier to download(all sprites/pics/sounds etc can be moved from plugins to a new Ares Data file saving tons of space)
I think we can look at a release somewhere around X-Mas 2002...now to get back to the Syna'iara shipset

I'm working on enhancing the story right now, check the chronicles if you want to see. Other than that it's kinda stopped.

Interesting, i'm going to have to try to try my hand at a chronicle sometime. I had a nice story written up on a CF2vsPirate action...

I'm waiting for someone to tell me this project isn't as dead as it sounds so i can have hope in this project.
Patrick:Can you just send the MU outpost station over now? Come any farther on the HQ style station?
I made a CF2 freighter, waiting for a sign of life in this project before continuing onto the pirate ships. (Mag where are you??)

I'll get copies of what I've done on the web either tonight or tomorrow for you. Having troubles with the SF and barbarian ship models due to an acute lack of talent and imagination. I'll try and put the HQ together sometime soon.

I see. So what did we decide for these Mycenians ships to be like, and who's the NFFT, and stuff like that?

The NFFT is the quaint little name for the pirates. The mycenians should have older CF3 tech, upgraded with a little of their own zealous style.
I'm going to start formulating the CF2 missions again...

Would it be alright if the pirates first started sending probes, then discovered the FTL comm system later? Right around the beginning of the story?
That would explane why the pirates had the time to build the SuperCruiser enough to where it comes out in mission 6 and the new weapon that comes up in that mission as well.

Hmm...yes, suppose that ought to work. Try and keep the comm/probes a secret from the player for a while though.

I'm not shure i am going to be able to continue on this project. The new private school i changed to this year has lots of homework to send home with me everyday. (Homework is keeping me up till 10 most nights.) And i have my own Nova TC called Infinity that i have a devotion to finish... I can send you the models and everything, but my involvement in this project is probably going to come to a halt.

I'm beginning to think that there's little point in continuing this anyways. By the time it'd be done only four people would download it..lol.

We could potentially convert it to a multiplayer plug. All the stealth and lack of warp would make for interesting tactics. I think that's what we were mostly thinking about when designing the overall ship stuff.

I think the problem is that no one plays ARES online anymore. It's down to 2-3 games/week on GR max. Really, there's no point in continuing this project as an Ares plugin.

Fat chance. If a progect can't be compleated for Ares(which Hera is a thousand times easier to operate then res-edit) then there is no chance that it'll make it into a nova plug-in.
I know what i'm saying, having already made SAF for Ares and now working on Infinity for Nova.

well--there is a plugin editor for NOVA coming out ( [url="http://"http://www.ariossoftware.com"]www.ariossoftware.com[/url] ) but i dislike NOVA and don't have a registered copy so it would be a bit hard to develop for

but still, what is the point of this good idea going to waste??
there are maby 3 of you that still work on this and there is not likely to be many more any time soon.
EVN has loads of followers whos going to jump for a chance to work on a large (original) TC like this one.

Part of it is that we designed it for ares - the ships are meant to operate on the ares engine, and we tried to make it incorporate as much strategy as possible (for commanding fleets, not just flying a ship).
Don't we have a decently large portion of the ships coded in, already? I don't think it would be much work at all to just load the ships in and make it a multiplayer plug.
