Is this just me (alone hehe), or is this board dying in the last few days...
I can make out the footprints of the last visitor in the dust...

Actually there's nothing interesting going on here, I guess... at least nothing that is worth a post or even a whole new thread. So people keep mouths' shut and quietly go on playing/working until there's something they have to publish. If you're so bored Spiff start some new interesting discussion about whatever to animate hte people around here to write something

Maybe some are quite busy with work/studies/school or with the hopeless run on christmas presents for family and friends. Well, anyways...

Merry Christmas

Christmas Season! lol.

I'm running my butt off lately. But I still check in every other day or so, at least.

the board seem to mysteriously quiet down when some real work is being done--and on holidays

I think this time fits into both categories

ace123 has returned to some serious multiplayer hacking
I've been implementing some cool features that let you warp to neighboring systems by flying there (and sometimes discovering systems off the jump network--fun!)

still have to balance it a bit

also working on making more than one weapon act as 1 so we can have movable weapons in position as well as angle

I'm here, not that anyone even knows me yet but I'm here. Haven't been posting for about a week since Christmas is almost here and I've got to get the house and stuff ready for family. I still read up just haven't had much time to sit and post. Got some ideas that really need posting though so look for it soon.

As in intersystem travel without using jumps? Cool. That functionality will come in well for Vega Trek and Vega Wars, plus give VS another option of play too (plus exploration!).

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

geee yeah.... exploration in VS sucks!

I'm sorry for this....

but it's kind of true. I mean I tried exploration in the first time but left it soon. The reason is this: Everysystem is the same. They differ in the number of planets, stations and stuff but there is no real exploration. I mean if you would land and meet a new alien race, a primitive tribe, some strange artifact or equipment... if you would fly to wolf359 and woulf find the destroy confed. fleet... if you would visit Europe and see the monolith... this stuff would give the game a real feeling of exploration.
I don't know if something like this is planed. Even if it was, I guess we would need a million people sitting there, designing starsystems by hand... yet I too guess there are not enough volunteers...
I have to say about myself that I have neither the time nor the skills...

yet, I travelling without jumping might be a nice thing, though it might make jumping obsolete. When you travel with full spec and don't stop, you sometimes wonder why you haven reached another starsystem yet or why you haven crashed into another star yet... I guess travelling without jumping would make it necesarry to rethink distances and stuff...

BTW, this theard was never meant to demand the Devs to tell us what they are doing. It was the result of boredom and a lack of thinking... But yet I am happy to see that you all are still here...

Sorry for the bad grammar and the even worse spelling but I'm drunk...

That's all about to change, though; Zeog is working on a totally revamped random starfield and planetary system generator. Grounded on astronomy too.

I'm kinda around! I've got some work experience stuff up on an iron ore mine atm ... I'm on a two week on/one week off roster, so atm I'm on my week off and am running around without a head trying to get everything (both real life and VS) done!

But I'm getting things done too .... ps, any help with getting that modding dataset out the door would be appreciated.

You don't get quite as much done each night after 12 hour shifts as you might hope
