[closed] Orbiter Solar Nations III (see OSN IV thread)

[She_Da_Lier]

Hello there.
The Integrator is nearly done, I just need to split things together.
Anyone would like to beta test it?
The current thing is limited to Earth, Moon and Mars, but it just needs editing config files.
Also you can't set own planets/moons yet.
.NET Framework may be required to run it.
Also I've still got to write a scripting manual for it.
Things done so far:
-Scenario plotting
-Config plotting.
-Unzipping - Used a free LGPL proggy. Also you cannot use folders in your zip file or the temponary folder cleanup will screw up.

Sounds dangerous.
I'll beta test it if it is safe.

[She_Da_Lier]

Nah, it's safe.
I'll send it to you when I've got things split together.

[She_Da_Lier]

I've got some internet downloading routines (using .net framework) ready, expect update feature.

not sure if I have a coms problem here
but there appears to be a complete standstill with regard to the nations

Has there been a total war last week that I missed while away a few days
and all the nations are wiped out !!!!

[Krytom]

Maybe we've entered the equivalent of the dark ages. Nothing happens for thousands of years.........

[freespace2dotcom]

such is life..

I'll work on some story or such later..

Aye, guilty as charged. I admit I only checked here and OSN site a few times in the past couple of weeks. I guess that's
normal and such things are basically driven by the main players, who occasionally need to take a break.

[freespace2dotcom]

It's been so long since you last posted doc, I was begninning to worry about you.

[DocHoliday]

Yeah I know. It's tough. Once you stop posting constantly for one reason or another you find it very hard to get back
in the loop. Mentally mostly.

[freespace2dotcom]

I agree with that mostly, but my main reason for slowing down has been the lack of posts by others to respond to.

[oli_chose123]

sry, i got some computer problems and didnt have time to check the forums... but im back now

[She_Da_Lier]

I've got ASP scenario maker in progress, as well as an uploader.

[MadMike]

well guys , my 2 months leave is up so back to the ship
this means my input will be very limeted for now

the federationIII has 3 programs underway
1.  the freight service is now orerational to all outher planets except Venus ( embargo still in force)
     contact FedExII, SDL, or ITG for details
     Service leaves Orbital2 (Mars) each 56 days

2.  There is a possibility of a rail line between FedExIII Base and GSI Base
     Provided GSI agrees

3.  FedEx77 Star Cruiser has left today to explore the Outer Rim Worlds after reciving radio signals as yet un deciphered
     from this region.


to GSI
_____

Please to look after FedExIII interests on Mars at the Solar Council untill I can get back on line
(Note
 we still do not agree with another large Freight company set up on Mars)


to SLD
Please take care of FedExIII interests regarding Freight Services proposed by other companys and also
ITG,  we agree with anything you do in this respect, and you can call on the 4 Agememnon Battle ships to support
you if required

We'll take care of your business.

take a look at this
i good way to represent warfare in OSN, if only a war would start, i used particleillusion to make the particle effect(its
better when its a video... but.. this is a forum...)

would be fun if OSN's history would be in color!!!

here you ca nsee my ugly corvette shooting a Agamemnon Battleship from babylon 5

[She_Da_Lier]

Looks like you're attacking one of FedEx's battleships.

[freespace2dotcom]

hehe.. whoops.

[oli_chose123]

For some time now, MMc shipyards are on use day and night(ok ok there's no day and night in space..........) in the
construction of a huge(i said HUGE) fleet of cheap ships, almost 350 ships. Ships are cheap(and ugly), poor hull
rating, but fast, and very high tech weaponry given by KBF.

I think, to give life to these forums, we could have a war

i just need a target lol

[She_Da_Lier]

Than, you have to know that SDLSE shipyards are working with maximal construction speed, releasing 15 ships daily (earth
time), and we already have 400 drednaought ships as displayed in the previous thread.

OPA has joined this arms race, but only to ensure the protection of all states and moons in the Alliance's systems.
All shipyards are on maximum output. 8)

[freespace2dotcom]

As Venus doesn't have a central bank, and thus doesn't have access to an unlimited amount of inflation-creating
funds, we won't take part in the creation of large fleets. Only a select handful of new ships will be built to help
balance the numbers somewhat. We may or may not purchase additional ships from other powers, but if we do, it will
be a fairly insignificant number.

Our older ships are being retrofitted, however, with the latest technology to make us smaller, but allow us to retain
our status as major power nonetheless.

Our oldest ships (more than a few are old earth military ships from colonization days.) are in the process of being
scuttled to help provide the resources for these two endeavors.

Our scavenging efforts from the the battle over Venus are finished and the remaining junk will be sent into the sun
after mercury's orbit takes it out of the suggested orbital pathe of the junk.

The ESR is happy with it's military strength. Although we have an ongoing project to constantly update the technology on
spacecraft, aircraft and to update each soldier's equipment as new technology becomes available.

The ESR navy will therefore be a medium sized (in comparison), high tech and deadly openent. The ESR may buy more fighters,
these will probably be modified DGIIIs equiped with advanced homing missiles.

As some of you may know the ESR is equiped with a large stockpile of deadly inperplanetary missiles and we will not hesitate
to use them.

The ESR is a fully equiped and ready to defend against any attack made on it.

[oli_chose123]

to venus:
you may want to buy some of our ships, as a sign of good will, we are selling them for you at really cheap price
just to be nice
