    late night + hate pictures being taken of


    him + not a lot of self-esteem that much on appearance + not liking to smile when taken a


    picture of = me :D

    XTS and the Crossfire Modding Team...(which is just


    words in the winds since its only just OP-R8R)...are now in cooperation. Ever thought that


    they asked OP-R8R's permission to use the items?

    though this doesnt really matter for


    Crossfire:


    that missing part of the base of Seltos' Toral Station, it you go towards


    the planet and look on your right, about half-way you'll see part of Toral Station's


    base


    (the base model is after Tripoli Shipyards and the missing piece is the dockyard


    part of the base)


    ______question line______


    did the scanners get


    fixed?


    also can we get more advanced info cards for upgrades such as the containers


    and weight reducers for people who havent played so we know what exactly they


    improved/reduce.

    little nonsense bug:


    there seems to be a small part of stations floating out in


    random spaces in systems like Vespus, Seltos, and others. In Quantos i believe it was dubbed


    a Corsair sat., and in Seltos it is part of Toral station and you can target the broken


    piece of the base and it targets the actual base near the gate.


    this doesnt really


    matter but i thought you should know. :D

    :rolleyes: Deliverance.......


    pandora just left for North


    Carolina and Miles was to pick her up near Nevada, she should be here i guess within the


    next few 2-3 days depending on how long the boat ride took.


    OP aint cheating, Pandora


    and him arent 'together' so it doesnt nessesarily count. plus it doesnt count as cheating


    if your in different zip codes :D

    "The planet New Berlin, it never gets as lush


    as it does this season. As we head into the third millenia and the 12th year of war against


    the Confederate forces, officals say that the war seems to be turning in their favor. As


    more and more borderworld systems and factions fall under the hand of the CSF, Liberty


    Secertary of Trade John Wolfcot states and we quote:


    'If more and more systems fall


    under the hand of the enemy, we will be severly hampered by the lack of imports and the


    income of exports to the borderworlds. Luckly the Junkers have stayed neutral as they have


    always done and are our only source of small quantites of rare materials such as the ores


    that can be exploited for a precious substance needed for our cruiser cores and then can be


    smelted into armor.'


    Also Admiral Dickson of the Alliance Northern fleet reported


    during the Baden Baden Conference last week that because of the borderworld losses to the


    Alliance, the inner colonies are now boxed in, thwarding any help from the Sol


    government.


    On to squadron news. The 67th Jaguars have crippled an enemy shipyard and


    lost two wingmen. The 526nd bomber squad, the Spirits, have destroyed Confederate Base, Zulu


    Tango Nine, codenamed Defiant's Hammer, in the covert Operation: Beggar. Alliance aces, the


    12th Rattlesnakes and the 53rd Ghosts, along with the base carriers Victory, Star Drifter,


    and the Fall of Tides layed waste to the heavily guarded weapons cache base on a newly found


    planet in Tau-43. The stealth cruiser ANS Spector was destroyed today as multiple hull


    breaches formed when they ran into a cloaked minefield allowed a large group of CSF fighters


    to enter her combat perimeter without being hit by her main gun. Her captain detonated the


    self-destruct and caused the entire minefield, spanning across a wide portion of Omega-19,


    to go up in a massive fireball. No survivors are suspected to have survived from both sides.


    A new rookie squadron has formed, the 89th Slip Fighters. Though they are not expertly


    expirenced as the Vegabonds in long ranged attacks, they have shown hidden skill in the


    simpods and long ranged combat on pirate outposts. Lets just hope these rookies dont have


    their thumbs up there as--", suddenly a boot came flying across the room and hit the monitor


    square in the control panel and sent it sputtering off with a show of sparks.


    "Damn


    reporters...." muttered a Texan in the background.
    "I hear ya, Fox-man. Damn liberals."


    snorted a pudgy guy half-asleep.
    "Hey 'Die Drooler' that aint a liberal...those are the


    jerks who live half-way near the planet's core to protect themselves from an expected enemy


    attack that somehow is going to get pasted the minefield, through thirteen Class A Super


    Battleships with about six hundred top of the class combat aces, and then past super-heated


    magnetic plasma cannons, and not to mention enough planetary anti-air power to blow up the


    moon and still have a few for a Forth of July parade!"
    "Oy, Trafalgar, Dice


    Roller....will you tossers knock it off? I'm trying to get some bloody sleep and your


    talking about things that dont even make sense....damn wankers."
    "Sorry 007.", quipped


    Trafalgar.
    "Its Basher! Jesus Christ and the Holy Mary we've been together for eight


    stinkin' months and you haven't even remembered my name, least alone my


    CALLSIGN!?"
    "Hey, privates! Knock it off, the cap'n can hear you even without the comm


    link.", ordered a uniformed officer as he rose from a porthole containing the latter to the


    lower deck.
    "Yes, Lt. Silvers. But even you can't help but argue against the media for


    calling us a bunch of wankers, as Basher would say.", countered the Texan.
    Silvers


    shifted on his feet slightly, "Your right Brooks...well I do have some shoreleave coming up


    and I have clearance enough to fly a Shroud....hmm.....hehe, keep watching the news boys,


    just keep watching."


    As Silvers waddled down the latter Trafalgar rested his head


    back and looked at the men around him. The men of the 89th Slip Fighters, Beta-flight, a


    team of men that could show up anywhere, anytime. I am Trafalgar. I am the second in command


    of Beta and since all we do is go against old Liberty Rouges....we arent called much. I grew


    up on the now gone Junker base Trafalgar depot...hence the callsign.


    Thats Curtis


    Bashfield, the black guy over there...he's from Britonia, as if you can't tell from his


    accent. His callsign is Basher, not because of his last name, but because he loves


    explosions...thats why he is the bomber lead of Beta...only reason he is in this flight is


    because he has trouble following orders. We met on Leeds when he was off on one of his


    pleasure runs blowing up old Molly ships with only a bit of C4 and Mox...bastard nearly blew


    my head off!


    And as if he read my mind Basher looked my way, "It wasn't my fault!


    How was I supposed to know you were there?"


    "I told you: 'Bash, I'm going to go


    near the ship and take a piss. Dont blow it up till I'm back.' "


    "Eh?....oh yeah!!


    Sorry mate..."


    That squeaky bunk over there makes the bed for the Bradley twins. John


    and Rusty. They are both from Liberty and grew up on Houston. Because of being brothers and


    being from the Texas system their callsigns were given to them from an old Terran band:


    Brooks for John, and Dunn for Rusty. They head up the heavy ordinance fighters...mostly


    missles, mines, just stuff to ignite the vastness of space with the contrails of missles and


    debris.


    The fat man sleeping in the corner is Mark Gunnery, callsign Dice-Roller.


    Gambler, hustler, best damn simpod arena dogfighter in the Alliance. He is the leader of


    Beta and only takes his senority with us in space...otherwise we'd munity.


    The ship


    we are in is called the Star Ocean. It was a luxery liner before the on-set of the war with


    the Confederates and has now been christened into the Alliance. Though it wouldnt stand a


    direct attack we consider it the safest home we have. We were living a quiet war. An


    occasional pirate counter attack, more training, nothing bad was happening to us. But we the


    captain started to look gloomy and depressed, we knew everything was going to


    change.


    All of a sudden the alarms rang.


    "All hands battlestations."

    lol, the idea is for it to


    be like Starlancer....has anyone else besides me, OP, EAD, and Pandora play(ed)


    Starlancer?


    @Mech
    during the beginning of the war the Alliance hijacked several


    Coalition science vessels and raided their technology, and finally adapted the use of


    warp(hole) drives into their fighters (and later battleships) during the liberation of


    Titan. So the Alliance has the same technology as the Coalition, except the ion


    cannons.


    @Delvirance
    Starlancer is based in Sol.....no make-up planets and


    locations


    @everyone
    OP is the one that makes the mods....only credits that he has


    to offer is to Microsoft, other ship creators if he uses other ships in RB, the beta testers


    if he wishes, and whoever helps....so stop joking....only making yourselves a fool, but i


    still am the greater fool :D


    @OP
    Is the XTS mod team working on RB as well or are


    they going to begin working with you on 1.6?
