***Dead Thread*** Peoples Mod "Version Alpha0.0.0.5" - 11 March'04

[DeadZone]

How many more Versions of the Pearl Dragon will you have?

Cos atm I do think its looks more like a Freighter than anything else

But anyway I was thinking this...

Ideas
Storyline - You start off as a freighter captain trying to earn a living when after (X amount of runs / Lvl X / something else) the Human Alliance Navy offers you a job (of course you have no choice but too accept ) if possible I will try and code it in that you are given a new ship or given enuf money to get the new ship

Then you will go through and complete missions, with a deeper storyline unfolding

Of course once completed I do feel it maybe a good idea to do more people mod campaigns

And of course we will want to do a number of Star Trek campaign

And a petition campaign for Aaron to try and make StarFury multiplayer like Freelancer is

Comments welcome

The story idea sounds good. Btw, Pearl Dragon being a freighter? Maybe so, I didn't originally plan it to be freighter but it does kinda look one. Freighter and passenger ferry it is then.

But this new one, Scorpion is totally a warship. What do you think about it. Is the model worth continuing on giving it a texture and Starfury data?

[DeadZone]

I believe it could do wit a bit more work, but yeah it looks good

Edit: One question, wot program are you using to make the models as well as the portraits?

If by portraits you mean the landscapes pictures, I use a program called Terragen. It's free in non-commercial use.

To make the models I use 3D Studio Max 5.

Im just putting a few things together, before I release the next Version tonight(Thursday), IAre there are requests? If so I will try and put in as much of them as I can

umm. The Pearl Dragon is upside down. The engines should be below the ship. And it's good at freighter class ship. Maybe as a pirate vessel too. I will make a new Version which has decent cannons under it's wings as a military Version.

[DeadZone]

Yeah I realized I had put the PD upside down, this was corrected about 1 minute after release, so it will be sorted in the next Version and it will also have some primiary textures (nothing fancy just abit of color)
