Sandbox

[RPC]

I like the tagging method better, it seems much more elegant.
I think the script for checking if ores are tagged would be in the buy and sell dockscreens of stations though, I'll have to check for that.

Ok i would have named it blackhole and somd of that stuff u need ar mods and bases must upgrade a bit every time u defeat it and it will be awsem if there where storing units u pay to store sum stuff or and axtions now and then when u resheve a em on ur ship pc that tells u where or a tranport device that makes portals later onOk i would have named it blackhole and somd of that stuff u need ar mods and bases must upgrade a bit every time u defeat it and it will be awsem if there where storing units u pay to store sum stuff or and axtions now and then when u resheve a em on ur ship pc that tells u where or a tranport device that makes portals later on

there are storage stations in a mod for download :http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=234
as for enemies that upgrade after you destroy them or some of them: the Luminous Drones do that. it is a good idea.

I once had ships other then the drones doing that so I know it is possible ( i did luminous drones in a extension already but the ships that did the same idea was turned down later because of the weapons they used, it was not fair to the player )

Ok, I need help with Carrier AI.
For handling of fighters, I wanted to make squads of 5 for the Carrier to handle, and to only control the X squad leaders while each squad member has the order of 'escort. I will be using the same event handler I used for retaliation ships in Dynamic Systems to keep the flight squads from leaving once their squad leader dies.

However, I need a way to both:
1. reference squad leaders
2. actually organize fighters into squads.
Help please!

You should be able to find some good examples in the strike squads that korolov sends out

Ok, now that finals are over I'm kick starting development again (hopefully with posts regarding updates!)
Here's a neat planet generator I found, and hopefully the license they use will allow me to use it in Sandbox.
Here's the proposed order for Sandbox development:
1. Topology
Once we get a fine amount of control of generating systems and star networks, we can get going on creating some immersive systems.
1a. graphics
2. Sovereign AI
3. Factions

[RPC]

Ok, well anyways I'm stuck at creating systems.
Here's the paste.

Known Issues:
:does not spawn planets properly
:lacking anything on the TODO list

[RPC]

Ok, I finally saw the Sandbox Topo thanks to alterecco's G.O.D. mod

Ok, I just want to post here so that people don't think the idea has died.
I'm currently working on it now that Dynamic Systems isn't enough to contain my ambitions... so yeah >:D
I can make systems through code now, all that needs to be done is some polishing... and making lists. Lots and lots of lists :/

[sdw195]

LISTS FTW!!

*cough cough*
now that I have that out of my system, looking good RPC

[shanejfilomena]

I WANT THE TRIAD CORE STAR : it's perty, makes me want to sit next to it and ping Iocrym with a TurboLaser

LOL

[alterecco]

Very cool RPC... i think systems actually look better without orbit lines, so no loss there (for me at least)

[RPC]

Thanks alterecco. Yeah, the only issues I have are that I can't make the Heretic particles or make nebula :/

Yeah, systems do seem a bit more natural w/o orbit lines. I'll try to see in my spare time if I can also have planets move after a couple of months real time

[Atarlost]

I am more than happy that you cannot make nebulae. Vile things.
