I understand how it works, It's just I didn't get what distance was my shield from.

Love the ship . What program did you use? anim8or???

Radio Chatter:
-Outcast cruiser, this is mercurian shuttle 03 transporting captain Ramirez. Request permission to dock.
-M S 03, this is outcast cruiser, proceed to docking port.
--------------
-Commander, I am Captain Ramirez, commander of the mercurian task force assigned to SOL. I need to talk to you
about a plan to take care of our little problem: Rhea
---------------------------
Of course, taking them out is impossible without support and ships from Arrento, but with the ships we have, we may
be able to hit the fleet. Taking out their command ships should stop their attacks for some time, if not forever. We
may also get some reinforcements from home, one or two new darkstar battlecruiser, and maybe your expedition
ship, "homeland".

Objectives are simple:
Infiltrate: Hack, spy and find the location of enemy command ships and the central command base. There are big
chances they changed it's location knowing that some rebels were high ranking members of the military.

Eliminate: Our combined fleets can destroy a battleship and its escort. We'll use this tactic for every targets. A simple
hit and run will suffice. Fighters will target engines while cruisers and frigates move into optimal fireing range. At the
same time, one of our cruiser, with modified shielding, will sneak trough enemy lines and fire a modified nuke at the
command center. The nuke of only 100 kiloton will destroy the base without releasing any radiations. To achieve that,
shields were modified to absorb most kind of radiations, acting like a cloaking device. The ship can still be visually
spotted and cannot activate normal shields without a full engineering crew and hours of work.

[oli_chose123]

Helm: Captain, ETA is 10 seconds!
Captain: Slow down to sub-light speed.
Helm: Here she is!
Captain: On screen.
Tactical: Saturn in all it's beauty.
Captain: It's been a long time... Helm, set course to the outcast base.
Tactical: Sir! Incoming RRC Cruiser!
Captain: What? How come we didn't detect it!
Tactical:They are fireing!
Captain: Shields!!

Tactical: No damage! shields have lost 3% integrity!
Captain: Let's test those tactical nukes. turn about and send them to hell.
Tactical: Aye aye, sir!

Computer: Lost contact
Tactical: Ship destroyed, sir.
Captain: Set course to the rebel base. And check these sensors. We should have detected that ship...

[Xianus]

Homeland corvette...

- Sir, we are approaching SOL. Beamdrive shutdown at three, two, one... Full stop.
- Position?
- Orbiting Sun, somewhere between Sol 6 and Sol 7.
- Anything in range?
- Long range sensors show two minor trade ships. Nothing more for now.
- Great. Set course for Sol 6. Take the ship to high orbit and relase the fighters.

           * * *

- Wing leader, this is Homeland, how do you hear me?
- Loud and clear, Homeland.
- Take positions near Rhea, and try to make contact with some neutral ships leaving Rhea. Get as much information as you can.
Avoid encounters with Rhea Star Force.
- Roger.

          * * *


Outcast base...

- Captain?
- What? I don't have time right now.
- Its urgent. One of our long range scouts have just informed that they have detected a very big ship flying this way.
- Damn it. Do you have any ideas what can it be?
- I don't know, sir. There were no sign from ME or UFMP for a long time. Maybe... no, RRC couldn't finish the construction so
early.
- OK, set the station on Red Alert, and order any incoming ships to fly deep into the rings. I hope they won't notice us.
Inform me about any course changes.


         * * *


Rhea Starport Beta...

- Firing salvo.
- No effect on target.
- Repeat!
- They are turning on us.
- Evasive manevrouers!
- Contact starfleet. We need reinfor... [silence]

- Thats all. We've lost contact with them two hours ago.
- Outcasts?
- I don't think so. First, they haven't showed up for a long time. Secondly, it seems that that cruiser has encountered a
vessel much larger that itself.
- What do you suggest then, colonel?
- I don't know. Maybe some of the colonists have really survived. I've heard rumors, that...
- Colonel, watch your words, or you will be sent with your ship on patrol route to Saturn.
- Yes sir. Excuse me, sir.
- Forget it. Order two F-classes to perform a patrol in that sector.

[oli_chose123]

-Sir, picking two incoming RRC F-class ships incoming.
-Damn it. Go to Combat Alert. Align turrets and wait for optimum Laser range.
Beep
-Sir, we lsot contact with the ships.
-They were destroyed?
-I didn't fire anything!
-cloaking device?
-maybe, but... How could they cloak an entire planet?
-What are you talking about??
-We don't have saturn on sensor range!
-That must be a sensor glitch. It would explain why we didn't detect the RRC cruiser when we arrived into the system.
BANG
-Shields have been hit!
-Integrity?
-Un...Unknown sir... But im estimating we can't survive more than 20 minutes under fire by two ships!
-Order crewmen to manually control the three turrets.
-Sir, without computer aiming, it...
-These are lasers... It shouldn't be too difficult to aim at something and shoot. You dont have to lead your target...
-Right sir, sorry sir. Internal scanners indicate a power drain on deck C.
-Let's go check it out.
======================
Deck C
======================
-Captain, we lost gravity on this deck. And there is 15 minutes remaining before shield faillure...
-We should hurry. Let's go this...
[Weapon fire]
       What the hell is that?? Lieutenant, signal intruder alert.
-All decks, Intruder alert on Deck C, intrud...[Weapon fire]
-Damn it.
[a lot of weapon fire later]
-Captain, security teams reporting in, what's your situation.
-I shot those two down. they were tampering with our computers
BANG
[comm]Captain, this one went trough our shields, we don't have much time!
-You two, repair these relays, fast. I'm going back to the bridge. Have the doctor analyse these... things... I shot down...
=====================
Bridge
=====================
BANG!!
-Captain, we've been hit on starboard missile bay!
-At least it didn't detonate. Are those sensors online?
-They are now!
-Return Fire!
-The first ship has been disabled. Our shields are at 3%.
-Target the other one! Nukes this time!
-Incoming!
BANG!!!!!!
-Jump ring is hit. Jumpdrive is offline!
-Fire 10 megatons. That should disable them.
-Fireing!...                             Target heavily damaged!
-Get out of the sector!
-Fireing Main engines!
-Damn it. They had time to transfer data to RRC command. They know we are here. Now, let's check on our aliens in
medbay...

OOC: Waht do you think of my models and effects. I'd like some comments on them as I don't know what to upgrade.
I also need to model some buildings for mercurea. If you have time xianus, maybe we could together come to a
concept for them.

GW, it's been a long time since we saw any of your models :D
(not that you HAVE to add them. It's just that it adds color to posts sometime )

The models and laser effects are great, but in my opinion the smoke look as it was generated in atmosphere. (As far as i
know, there is no smoke in space. )

Some time ago i took some screenshots from X2-The Threat space shooter. It would be great if you could recreate smoke trails
like these.

About the buildings: i am also working on them, but in my idea it would be better if my buildings were different than yours.
Maybe after a few days i will have some early screens of my work. If you are looking for inspiration:

http://scifi3d.theforce.net/default.asp (3d creations based on many sci-fi series and films, the website is sometimes
overloaded so be patient)

[oli_chose123]

Here are two test trails I made. Witch one do you prefer?



PS: The smoke I use was made to hide the fact that if I take out a missile fro the pod, there's no hole... 8)



Post Edited ( 08-21-06 18:56 )

[Xianus]

The left one looks better in my opinion. The smoke stream has more smoother edges, which is better in space i think. Also the
engine flare is more smooter. May i suggest one more thing? Try to experiment with colors, for example light blue or light
green. The yellow one looks a bit like from XXI century ( way too old for OSN )

Here is the rough layout of one of my buildings: (no textures yet, im working on them)



As usual, any creative comments are greatly appreciated

[oli_chose123]

The left missile uses a direct light with fog and a glow, while the right one uses particles. I prefer the left one, but if,
for exemple, a ship turned, the trail wouldn't bend.


I like the building, it's simple, and effective. I think I tried too much something complicated, I should try something
similar.

About missile color, you may be right. My ships use a blue engine trail, so why not have the same propulsion system
for missiles?
=============================================
MIS Resolution-B, Orbiting Saturn...

-So, doctor, what are they?
-Well, i've never encountered their species before, and it isn't on the database, not even in classified files. I can only
note the obvious: They have four arms and two legs, they do not seem to have any gender organs, and they have a
blue-black skin.
-You have any idea what they did to our sensors?
-Actually, our engineers found out that they did not even access the scanner's computers. They were modifying the
emmiter's frequency and output to generate some kind of jump point. I've never seen that kind of technology. We
should investigate it...
-We'll investigate when this war is over. Set course to saturn.
[comm]Captain, we have AF Homeland on long range sensors!
-Open a channel.
-------------------------
Communication to Homeland
From Mercurian Darkstar-II Class Battlecruiser MIS Resolution-B

Homeland, it's good to see some known faces. We engaged three RRC ships and destroyed or disabled all of them.
What is your status?
-------------------------

-Now, set course for the Outcast base.
[comm]I'm...I'm not detecting it, sir. They might be on red alert. They would have ordered ships to hide in the ring.
-Can we broadcast a message?
[comm]No sir. We are detecting RRC signatures near our position. Broadcasting in all directions would alert them.
-Use directional transmission.
[comm]Sir, that would take hours! And we're not even sure there are ships in the Ring. The station could have been
destroyed!
-Do it anyway.
----------------------
Mercurian ship to receiver
This is the MIS Resolution-B to any ship receiving this. We are here to help. the area is clear, please show yourself.
We are also in search of three of our cruisers and the bridge crew of the frigate Resolution-A that was destroyed
some months ago.
----------------------

[Xianus]

OT: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeez let me model those aliens... i've already started modelling some lifeforms, and i really want to use
them here.

But if you too already have something done, then well, i was to slow. I will have to meet another aliens in Arrento then...

[oli_chose123]

No no! please do it! I just can't do anything right when it comes to biology. If you could also model some crablike
ships, i'd really apreciate it.(These are supposed to be the crabship aliens[dont have any name yet...])

Tell the webmaster that the ECPS were actually a different race to the UFMP.

[oli_chose123]

Oh, sry, I was sure I read you were ofthe same race.

A question: What is your race's name
Another question: What were the centurian's race name(or is it actually centurian??)
A last question: What do you think of our models? And will we see some of yours(if you did any)

[Xianus]

OK, here is my idea about the aliens in OSN. Remember the message from alien ship i've found some time ago?

So, lets say that the message contains all languages known by five most advanced civilisations.

The first one is the language of the ship creators (origin unknown)
The second one could be the language of the "centurians" (GW can probably say more about it )
The third one is pretty self explanatory.
And we have two yet undiscovered intelligent races in our space neighborhood.

What do you think?

BTW if anyone needs this fonts, please let me know and i will send them by email.

I will have to change the textures so everything will look more "hi-tech", but they are good for now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outcast base...

- Captain, the big ship has sent a message. It looks like they are from ME.
- ME? Thanks God, I almost thought thats some kind of new RRC battlecruiser. Cancel Red Alert. Can we contact them?
- Sure. I will open a comm channel.

--- Outcasts to MIS Resolution ---

This is Captain Sullivan, leader of Outcasts in the SOL system. We really appreciate your help. Curently we have only a tiny
storage of food and water, so if you have some spare containers, then please share with us.

Indeed, some time ago a few your ships arrived here. One of them was destroyed by some unknown ships. We've secured an escape
capsule with officers from that ship. They are our guests on this station, and can be delivered to your ship whenever you
want. We do not know the status of the other ships. I have only heard some rumors about a huge fight with RRC battleships
approximately two months ago.

If you have any information about the colonists or the Xianus himself, please let us know.

MIS Resolution, orbiting Sturn...
-Captain, we received a message from captain Sullivan. They're all alive. They also have the crew of the Frigate
Resolution.
-Good. Send a message. Report on what is happening at Arrento and request that the rescued crew be transfered
here.
-Aye sir... Sir! detecting incoming signals! ME ships. They are our cruisers!
-Good. Open a channel. This is MIS Resolution. It's good to see some old brothers here!
[comm]Resolution, good to hear of you. We were negociating and planning an attack with UFMP officials.
-You have new orders. For now you'll patrol the area. DO NOT Engage alone. Wait for reinforcements...

[oli_chose123]

MIS Resolution-B, Patroling Kuiper Border...

-(helm)Captain, why are we scanning that junk field?
-(tactical)Junk?
-(helm)It´s the name we gave to the KBF. In the Earth War, they used our ships, well, those that weren´t safe
enough to be operated by mercurian pilots...
-(tactical)I heard they are extremely paranoid.
-(captain)They are. That´s why our shields are up. Now, get back to work.
-(helm)They are still junk...
-(captain)let´s talk about something else... What´s our status?
-(tactical)Jump drive is screwed, sir. Missile bay two isn´t responding, and we don´t have much laser coolant left...
-(helm)heh... got a dot on my screen...
-(captain) I think I´ve never heard anything less precise than that...
-(helm) sorry, I mean, I can´t help. Sensors must have a problem.
-(captain) what about a visual?
-(helm)Here... on screen!
-(captain)They are KBF?
-(helm) you mean, that´s a junk?
-(tactical) Won´t you shut up with your junk stuff...
-(captain)what was that flash?
-(helm) a signal?
-(tactical) or a weapon fire!
-(captain) brace for impact!!

-(tactical) Shields are offline. The projectile went right trough it! Must be matter-based. Railgun or something.
-(helm) I lost navigation!
-(captain) We all agree this technology isn´t junk...
-(tactical) Small ships are heading for us!
-(captain)Fighters?
-(tactical)I don´t know, I think they are... Breaching pods!

KBFS Lightrider, KBF flagship
Patrolling Kuiper Belt border

-(Tactical) Captain, we just detected an unknow ship, inside our borders.  About 100 000 km away
-(Captain) Helm, set an intercept course and use the asteroids to cover our approch.  Tactical, initiate a weapon test.
-(Helm) Yes sir
-(Tactical) Yes sir
...
-(Helm) We'll be in weapon range in a few second captain.  They havn't detected us.
-(Captain) Allright.  What is their status?
-(Tactical) They seem to have minor hull dammage, and about their weapon, they have turrets of some sort and
                 missile pods.  Possibly nuclear, but the radiations can also be from their reactor.
-(Captain) Ok.  We're not taking any chance with that.  Fire one time, to disable their ship
-(Tactical) Yes sir.  Firing now
-(Tactical) its a hit.  Sensors indicate their weapon systems and engines are offline.
-(Captain) Good...
-(Helm) Captain, some time before the projectile hit their hull, is went trough some sort of energy shield.  its use is
             unknown for now
-(Captain)Allright, for now launch the bording party.  Orders are to capture whats left of the crew, and salvage any
                 technologie.  When you're done, blow up the ship.  I want no traces left of it

-(tactical)Should I order the crew to arm themselve?
-(captain)no, we don't stand a chance against elite soldiers... order them to surrender...
-(helm)captain, you remember the old alpha 3 emergency plan?
-(captain)good idea, do it.
*the helm enters the ventilation system*
*the bridge door blast open*
-(KBFSoldier)STAND DOWN! Lieutenant, we have taken their officers as prisoners.
-[comm]good, take them to the nearest pod, we are...[weapon blast] damn it! take that one out![/comm]
-(captain)I told them to surrender... damn it.
...
On the KBF ship, in one of the cargo bays
...
-(crew)captain, I heard they dismantled our jump drive. But at least, our shield system was completely destroyed.
-(captain)*look at his watch*5 more minutes before we get out of there...
-(tactical)What are you talking about? we're stuck here. They can't communicate with Mercurea, and our two other
ships in the system are patroling Saturn...
*Power fails in the cargo bay, a ventilation chaft door opens*
-(captain)They told I was crazy at central command when I hired a professional hacker as a helm... Power should get
back in a minute. Most of the crew will stay there, you two, come with me.
-(crew)yes sir
-(tactical) aye sir
...
minutes of crawling after...
...
-(captain)Here. That sahft brings us to the dormitories
-(tactical) that would mean the women's dormitories are this way?
-(captain)shut up and follow me. There'S only one man, we'll take him out...
*the captain jumps on the gard and knock him out He takes his weapon*

-(tactical)There are four places in that small ship.
-(helm) shouldn't be too complicated to fly
-(captain)did you disable their anti-fighter weaponry?
-(helm)I even planted a virus.
-(tactical) let's get the hell out of there...

[voangers806]

Bridge of the KBFS Lightrider

-(Guard) Captain, we find many of our guard dead, and apparently some of the prisonner are missing, as well as one
of our shuttle.
-(Captain) How come we didn't detected the launch?
-(Tactical) Apparently, they plented a virus that disabled our internal camera system, and teh shuttle bay safety
system.  As well as all our weapons.
-(Captain) Take care of teh weapon first.  Soldier, find out who's missing.  they won't get far, our shuttle doesn'T    
have  light Drive, and their navigational computers are kinda cheap due to the cut in the military budget.  and we
moved further inside the belt, they won't find their way out
-(Tactical) *Evil laugh* Yes sir
-(Guard) Yes sir
