Hmmm, a voulenteer!
Your services will be invaluable. We are doing very well with ship sprites.
These are the contracts still available:
If you can help with any of them that would be great!
Contract 002:
A point defence beam weapon, (short range, like that of the Bazidanese battleship, but with a range of about 1.5 ship lengths) that takes the form of a circle
which expands out from the ship damaging/destroying anything it contacts. It therefore fires in all directions simultaneously. It would use a medium amount of energy. It is intended as a defense against missiles.
.
.
.
.
.
Contract 003:
Engine Development: A ship, cruiser class, capable of only one hyper jump (again one per speces), can use existing sprites.
.
.
.
.
.
Contract 004:
Cruise Missile System.
A longtime project of mine. The one I use in "It's War" is based on a ship template, and is more or less a modified ship. It is based on the "Dreadnought Missile" concept as seen in an episode of ST Voyager. The one in "It's War" only functions manually, and an AI ship will use it like a fighter.
What is needed is a true Cruise Missile System where the AI ships or Stations armed with it will use it as an offensive weapon at ultra long range (say half the width of a scenario map space), or at normal ranges as is needed. It also needs to work as it does, to be a launchable targetable fighter-like device that the player can send against a specific target. I messed about with this for a while, and got a mess !
Also, it would be nice to improve the accuracy of the missile.

Contract 006:
A Long Range missile system for use on space bases. Needs to target ships at a quarter of the width of a scenario.

Oh, so it is another bug hunt then...

I don't think it's possible to create static beams (like trazers) that point in a specific direction. I'll have to tinker around with it...

Errk. That is quite difficult. I'd have to mess with the ship and such.

Easy. A cruise missile is basically a "ship." You can make it so that the AI can command the missile to attack different targets. As for accuracy, improve its thrust, speed, turning, etc.

Make the age high - very high. However, I don't know any way to make the missile target ships at a quarter the width of a scenario in every scenario. I would have to go in and re-program Hera or something. Not even our expert Pallas Athene knows how.

Contract 002: It's simply NOT possible. The best I can do is make beams in a random spread pattern (only when enemy targets are near.)

Contract 2 is possible. You're just are approaching it wrong. /Mails LCA a file showing how it works.

It seems to me that if you were to make it a self-animating pulse that looked like a circular beam, with the sprite getting larger and larger, it'd work.

Um, so you'll be taking on contract 002 also then by the sounds of it....

Er... Just Refreshing the topic.
You can make an interesting missile defence system by creating a static beam that has a 'Die Destroy' action on it's target when it collides but with the 'Is Guided' inclusive filter set. This way it can do any amount of damage to ships but will shoot down guided missiles and aomic pulses,
If this plug is still in development, can I volunteer? No graphics but I can provide actions and weapons.
EDIT: Added last paragraph

Hey, someone's revived my dead topic!
(Cleans the dust off "plug box" and opens it...)
Yes, we here all love volunteers (heh)
Contracts which still needing filling:
001
002
003
004
006
All the necessary ship sprites are done, I just need the weapons and other systems.
Any help would be appreciated. Beta testers will be required too, when the thing is ready.
My e-mail is down at the moment, so you can get me on this new e-mail address: lcanic42k DELETETHISBIT @eircom.net
Welcome aboard Soldier!
