THANK YOU ! argh... anyway - I am considering creating a starfire mod also - I have already incorporated some of the sf tech into my cybernetic mod.

I am really interested in joining the next game.

Actually, I've kind of lost interest in actually PLAYING this game, so if anyone wants to take over the main Terran Federation, you're welcome to

Also, in light of the concerns about exploiting prior knowladge and the general !@%!% of the map editor (to say nothing of my own lack of good info) I'm dropping all but a few custom systems from the map. Namely, the home systems.

Oh, and I found a way to impliment closed warp points easily, so expect some sprinkled around (actually expect a lot sprinkled around). It's not without it's cheating risks, but oh well. If they're THAT lame..

Current race status:
Terran (core): available
Terran (fringe/rebels): TerranC
Orion: Big Game Hunter
Ophiuchi: Chrowl
Gorm: Tesco
Bugs: suicide junkie

I'm wondering about the Thebans (how would those Samurai sleds be done?) and Rigelians. It would add more players and flavor to the game.

I don't think either would add much, since they're both basiclly single-system move-and-you're-dead conqured races by the time the scenerio starts.

What's the status so far on the Scenario?

Phoenix-D · #76 May 8th, 2002, 07:48 AM

Map essentially finished; mod in-progress.

So far I have the some of the special Bug traits done and the Ophiuchi traits done. If all goes well, I'll have the mod (of proportions 2.2) done tonight or tommarrow. Then I start playing things into position.

Should be ready about the time PBW comes back up, if they stick to their original estimate (1 week).

EDIT: hmm. Hit a small sticking point. I need names for the leaders, and I can't find any.

Phoenix D, the names of the leaders are probably tricky to pin down - as I recall, they were as follows

The Gorm had no overall Il Duce leading them but had an "Assembly of 200" and then an executive 'Council of 20". No use to you I guess but their main admiral in the Khanate-Gorm war was "Force Leader Hanaku"

The Opuichi also had no single individual granted with the executive mandate. One of their admirals was called 'Admiral Haraanaatha" is that helps

The Khanate is easier. Khan Lihaarnow (ie Lihaarnow the Great) would be your main man
(I dont know who the Khan was at the time of Insurrection and the Bug War)

You will need to read the books to find out who led the Coreworld and Fringe elements of the Federation as I cannot recall

Hope this helps

Are the Rim by thenselves ??? or part of the core?

Chrowl · #79 May 8th, 2002, 08:57 PM

Tesco,

I think that the Rim was originally separate, but was combined with the Core (or 'rump' if you prefer) due to lack of players. Maybe Phoenix will reconsider this point since we've had a surge of interest.

Phoenix,

I guess you've finished with the map, but I still have the complete Starfire map if you're interested. It's on an un-integrated hard drive so it might have to wait until the weekend though. Perhaps you could use it for any future games? Also, if its not too late, I think I'd like the Amon'krie (green fleet I think) for the OADC.

"I guess you've finished with the map, but I still have the complete Starfire map if you're interested."

In SE4 format? I have a map of the regions in question, but it's system names and relations only. No data on what's IN the system, and frankly the map editor is too much of a pain to build more than a few systems by hand. Hell, I'm not even doing most of the warp points that way! I'm just using my GM race to open/close warp points where needed.

I'll use the Amon'Krie for the birds, then.

Yes, the Rim was combined with the core. If someone wants them, I'll see if I can work them into things.
