CF 1.63 previews

so, Op, this dynamic trading is like that found in X3: T3h Reunion?
isnt that the name of the 1.62 xfire release?

...the clan logos and clan systems could need a little bit longer due to the fact that i need a list first of the owned systems O_o (lost the overview during the last weeks)...

Would be fair if you would upload all the clans, not just the server ones...

OP, will these new systems be in a certain area of the map, or scattered out? Is it going to be an Altair expansion, something beyond the DK jumpgates, new borderworld systems, or... ?

The screens are all eyecandy though and the dyanamic features are very exciting. My only concern is that using a soulforge for trade will become very difficult as the vast minority of bases don't have moors, but the challenge will mean more struggle and diversity.

Also, you mentioned random jhs? What does that mean, that fixed jumps go to different places, or that the jumps themselves move within a system? Either way, how is it possible for the nav map to keep up with the changes when you'd have to rechart the CF universe every day to note the changes? It's awe-inspiring, but I'm going crosseyed tried to comprehend the physics of it

what about capital freighters? I was thinking that the roid miner is beautiful, althought is event only.. Perhaps other options for capital freighters other than the soulforge would be good.. i feel like the traders have been left behind for the last two or three updates.. apart from a few trade routes, of course.

Didn't thought of that, just mentioning them on CF page that they exist and have a bitter chance for recruitment against the major factions.

OP...your causing me to drool...I'm about to...kill myself waiting....Drak:

I'm now glad I waited to map the whole universe

W00T, visible orbiting objects on the sky! Awesome work OP!

great work OP! i always had the idea that it might be possible to fly on a planet surface. i cant wait to try out this new mod and find planet Lost Paradise!

I meant orbiting by that Planet Eden on the second screenshot orbits that ringed one (I guess), which has the detailed and flyable surface (again I guess), and planet Eden is visible from the surface of that other planet (and again just a guess, due to the landscape of planet Eden and the one that is visible on the sky is the same).

I hope that digsite in those screens is Planet Sprague. Coz it`s over 100 years that Spragues docking ring was destroyed...

Is upto Clan leaders to post details ect of their clans on the forums.If they cant be bothered that is their loss.

@ Wavey: I assume you are referring to the newer servrclans which do not yet have home system billboards? If any new detail is required from serverclans, beyond what is already on the forum, please be specific...

Does it scroll and have a musical theme? Um... it looks nifty in all seriousness, but does it go away after it's show itself or does it stay there until a person leaves NY?

Only a suggestion OP:
Changing the textures of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune to the real colors. Probably not a big deal if you managed to texture Jupiter, Earth, Moon, Mercury and Venus correctly.
