Hey Warrior

Well, regarding the Mod, it's almost finished, and as far as I know there's nothing really left to do other than fix a few small things, get it packaged, and then send it out.

I'll probably work on getting Cap Ship shields working for all ships that would have them. Just imagine the Damocles with super-heavy shields... It'd take a large group of players to take that thing down

Also, something that I'm thinking of doing is going in and re-scaling a lot of the large capital ships, so that they're a more realistic size. I tried that with the Osiris last night, but since it's a non-custom ship, it didn't work as I hoped it might. Anyone out there want to redo the Osiris as a custom version? It's a big job. And it has to look the same, but be able to be scaled up (there are a lot of associated *.3db and *.sur files, and those have to be customized as well).

Anyhoo, I dunno if it'd be better to leave the Osiris alone, but if someone wants to give it a shot, let me know

Any ideas are always welcome guys, let us know

Oh, Warrior, look in the NW corner of the map then look "up"

That's all I'm sayin'

Thanks Arch.

Why does everyone love the Damocles so much?

What makes it better than the Balistner(besides mines, countermeasures, and higher armor points)? My friend uses the damcles but he outfitted the ship with balistner tech... He likes using the siege cannons... Heya how big is the blast radius of that thing? Plus the data on the weapon says that its range is 0. what's up with that? And is there a much better scanner than the Deep Scanner MKII?
My friend says that he can receive signals from up to 20km away...

Plus, are there higher versions for the fighter shield augmentations other than MKV?

I like the game so much... the feel of it makes me see myself in the outlaw star, star wars, and Cowboy Bebop universe.

how about anime-inspired ships? The ship designs in bebop and outlaw star are great... especially the outlaw star!!!! I would really love to pilot that thing! The Swordfish is cool, too..

Can the ship's voice be like that of ADA in the Zone Of Enders? that would be so cute!!!

Why can't i find the Vorlon Planetkiller, Sharlin Cruiser, White Star Cruiser and Omega Destroyer?

Sorry for the trouble!!!

yeah, I don't get battleship love. I like maneuverability myself.
anime, I think the ragnarok is going to be included. I don't know what anime that's from.

lol if iam wanting to do mega damage ill get the balsterner, other then that i just use the raven claw. man if i cant get it in this mod iam gona be even more depressed, o well life goes on, lost my gf to. also what is anime? animation?

Post Mon Feb 21, 2005 6:23 am

I think that the ragnanok is from fianl fantasy, im sure i remeber reading it somewhere here on TLR,alos the raven claw, as far as i know will be in the final version

Post Mon Feb 21, 2005 11:39 am

yeah it will be from what i hear. its just in 3.4 i coudlnt find the base it was on, also the DS said wrong from were it was located.

Post Mon Feb 21, 2005 4:44 pm

Oh come on guys... Haven't you heard of anime?
Yeah anime is animation... Japanese animation...
Please watch Cowboy bebop abd outlaw star and you'll see what i mean..
The ship designs are great!

Are there any ships from the starship trooper series? I like their dropship.

No one has answered my question yet, why does everyone like the damocles so much when the Balistner is a floating weapons platform?

I mean i blasted the hell out of the damocles when i saw it, the only real threat that i face now is a battalion of titans equipped with the salamancas...
They can really give you trouble.. They brought down my shields in less than 20 seconds!!! Having 10k shield bats really gives a guy security though. it only takes less than 200 pieces to bring my shields back up... But i wish there would be much heavier shields next time. 50k just doesn't cut it. Having two of them doesn't cut it either.

Hey people

Just to let you know, I've been testing the Pre-release Final, and I gotta tell you it's mind-blowing.

The Osiris II is available, and it's a nice ship, though I'm thinking of having Ro9ue tone down its maneuverability issues. It is definitely THE toughest battleship out there now though, custom shields, heavy armor... You'll see

Anyway, regarding the Damocles, I personally like it becaise it's not as flat-out UGLY as the Balistner, and with the right loadout I can take out anything else, including a heavily loaded Balistner. But that's just my own thing.

There are some new goodies for Rebal 3.5 Final... Enhanced Order Shield Powercells among them. Also there are new Order weapons that Ro9ue did a really nice job on. The Wrath starts out with a pretty nice loadout, but you can only get it in one place... Battleship Osiris. So for those who are having trouble finding the thing, keep looking Also, The Wrath (actually ShadowWrath, in game), starts out with its own custom powerplant. Suggestion, don't sell it and think of upgrading to the Upgrade Powerplant MK V, you'll wish you hadn't. Also, none of the "Uber" powerplants, like the Balistner powerplant, are usable on fighter class ships. So consider yourself warned, things are going to be a lot more energy tight in this version. I think it's a good thing, lots more challenge if you have to watch your energy levels.

I'll tell ya though, with the right mix of components and the right ship, you can still put out a lot of nastiness to the enemy, so don't fret if your ship isn't able to fire a continuous stream of Star-trek death for an hour at a time

There's so much more in this version that I've barely scratched the surface, so bear with us, and we'll get it out there soon

Well, hope this has helped to let you all know that we're doing everything we can to release asap

Have fun,
ArchKaine

Hey Warrior,

I'm sorry about the GF thing, I sympathize.

Anyway, regarding the BS Osiris...

Sector A1, 50 K straight up. Center of sector, try not to blow up in the mine field.

Hope this helps
