The Elysium system is just a portal to multiple other system. <SPOILER ALERT!> You can get to it by using a jumpdrive over a stargate. The station needs something more. Maybe it should have something to do with Domina. You could get missions to any system from them. It could be a sub-storyline. I ag...

Unless you are really lucky and get a free mining cannon, the systems where titanium ore could be valueble are often far gone by the time you could get a lot. I rarely have a mining laser in the third system. Maybe I just have bad luck.

This should be read as a SPOILER. The tinkers will convert a number of different things found in barrels. (Armor patches or repair paste - I think.) The non-company specific weapons dealers will buy damaged and un-damaged weapons. ...Titanium ore is about worthless - even if you sell it normallay. T...

Maybe to satisfy everbody, shields should just have an Effect modifier. All it would do would make it so that you could select effects. Then the only other thing you should need is a directional modifier to tell the game weither or not the shield would be directional. By directional I mean when it g...

Ok, I tried it, and I really don't like it. The RPG accelerated in whatever direction it was already going, which depended on what direction the ships was going. I really need missles that accelerate only forward. I worked fine when sitting still, but if you are moving backward faster than the missl...

OddBob said: If you drop a ping-pong ball on a trampoline (the trampoline being the shield and ball being the projectile), it will not do any damage. If you shoot that same ping-pong ball at the trampoline with a speed of three million mph, it would put a hole in the trampoline, and probably a smal...

I use:

'cause I like the number 2!

I definetly agree. I once messed up a save by hitting the disintigreater for the command ship, then realized that I couldn't complete the game. needless to say, I was bumbed.

The speed could be part of the damage, but it would be better, in my opinion, to have it seperatly. The damage type most affected by speed would be kinetic. Kinetic weapons do damage by running into things. If the speed is low, the damage is low. I will give an example: If you drop a ping-pong ball ...

Ohhhh... So then the acceleration is a percentage of that? That makes sense. I will try it, and post my results.

What is poeples opinions of the firebeam?

I actualy meant a shield that you could see all the time. Like the effect in the picture, except the being hit part, and the shield's coloration would be smooth. Like wolfy's suggection of the Domina sustain power. Then when you are hit the shield would look even more like the pic, with the flares a...

Ok, I tried it, and it didn't work. Does it have to have an initial velocity greater than 0?

Ok, to continue my ideas I created anther thread. Click this link for it.

I did kind of get off subject...

This is a thread for a couple shield ideas that had um... "popped up" in the wrong forum. Anyhow, what I meant for the visible shield is that you would have a tranluecent bubble around the ship, that would flicker or something when hit with weapons fire. Something kind of like this: http://upload.wi...

I have never seen the menu data either, I think it is in the .exe file. Which means that george will probaly have to be the one to do it. Are you alowed to decompile the .exe, or would that be against copyright?
