*sigh* Damn... 
Too bad I'm at work when all that went down... Seems like a lot of fun.... Any chance this event can be started at about 3-4 hours later next time so some of us from the western hemisphere can make it?

YESSSSSS! Incredible job guys and WAAAYYYY to go FUD! I'm proud of you man!
In spite of the craziness, we somehow got one Scouser to Weth! Primary objective complete, mission accomplished!A HUGE THANK YOU AND JOB WELL DONE TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED! May we also take a moment of silence for our fallen comrades, our fellow brothers and sisters of mankind in this operation.
I took a raiding party afterwards when we got to Weth and went back to Pyrddra Shocky to extract some revenge for you and for Seqan haha!
We destroyed an entire Setek fleet,(many cruisers and motherships) a smaller Sentinel fleet and many Setek and Sentinel fighters!I'll try to dig through my pics and post them here in a bit...
ALSO! I am escorting FUD back to Sirius, we will need help offloading crystals to anyone who wants to keep some in stock for the future cloaking device to be enabled on all ships! Please contact me via PM here or notify me in this thread and we'll arrange a time to do this, also any help to escort FUD back to Sirius will be appreciated, namely when we get to Altair in hostile space starting in Gurm.

Yes indeed, happy 32nd B-day Faaby!
Growing old is not an option, but thankfully "growing up" is! Hope you have a great birthday and don't get too sauced! 
-
What Crysis said Michael, it's his birthday thread dewd...
Damn, how did I miss this???
Happy Be-lated birthday Crysis! You officially have become a legal adult, congrats dewd!
I suspect you got drunker than a sailor on a boat with Captain Morgan! *does Cap'n Morgan pose*

Well Faaby, it is mentioned in the Xeno Guide that the Nomads in their infant and younger forms they resemble a "worm", which is true to what you see in the SP campaign/story line. The picture I provided in the Xeno Guide is a Nomad in adult/humanoid form where as they can actually assume any form they choose due to their highly versatile and flexible DNA structure.
And thanks Crysis, glad you enjoyed it!

Gotta agree with Huor here, OP is basically the "LOREMASTER" of this mod, i.e. he dictates what exists and what does not in Crossfire, I'm just the lowly "LOREKEEPER". Heheheheh! We can theorize and fantasize all day long about Nomads, Dom'Kavash, Ancients and/or the fact possibly some of your grandmothers could pass as a alien species, (
) but the fact remains, OP makes the stories, we elaborate and expound on them. That's why I came out with this Xeno Guide. -
i think michael just has to much time on his hands!!!
This, x infinity... I like you alot in a totally no-homo way Mikey, but man you're starting to scare me and other people bro.(and not with just with your uber PvP FL skillz)
-
SAC is on the medium/high alert status for possible invasion.... citizens beware when you fly in deep space and call for the SA if needed !
LOL! We'll have to start issuing public "amber alerts" or in this case daily "ALIEN ALERTS" in Sirius and Altair for random alien invasions!
We'll need all SA to start scouting, investigating and reporting daily for any signs of alien invasions in Sirius or Altair. I'll get with you later about this Admiral.
-
Yea, it was all OP's subconcious thoughtwaves that generated that heart shape of the Crossfire systems when I re-did the 1.8x maps!
-
Can't wait to see the possibilities of the hostile Dom races invading Sirius systems!
I thought the Dom'Kavash invading Sirius was bad enough back in 1.7, I can't wait to see what the madness the Dom'Razak/Warrior, Dom'Nepesh/Savage and Dom'Setek/Sentinels will unleash on unsuspecting Sirius pilots when they invade! I wonder if they will do the same in Altair space with the Dom'Kavash, Coalition and Nomad systems? -
... and was overtaking the bodies of human politicans.
It´s an earlier File, enjoy:
Yep, it's an awesome little background story that not many FL players know about and it's relevant info in the Xeno Guide, so that's why I put it in there. As soon as I read it, I knew it had to go in there, it was very "enlightening" to those who love FL and it's "lore", especially since it's concerning the original game's only alien races, the Nomads and Dom'Kavash.
-
Yea Michael, I've already stated the Nomad ships are actual Nomads themselves by reconfiguring their cellular structure in their background and history section of their profile.
And yeaaaaaa... Right... I'm sure you do alot of talking with the Sentinels...
*facepalm* If by communication that includes them using Cer'lor Emitters at YOU, then yea, I bet they do alot of talking to you buddy. About your name Michael, you need to understand that here in the states, we common use Micheal here so I have to catch myself periodically to type your name correctly for YOU.
I merely accidentally typed it wrong in my flurry to get the last page done so I could get it published/PDFed.Oh and one thing you guys need to understand about the images in that you gotta remember, I'm using AutoCAD for this, it's a vector based program, not raster-based! Therefore, I'm having to use AutoCAD's import image and scaling command to insert and manipulate images to get them to the appropriate size, so at some point resolution no longer can be improved and AutoCAD can only support going so high with images. Another issue I suspect is the PDF writing software itself, I'll have to see if I can jack the export resolution higher or if there is an actual setting in the "PDF printer" itself. The only real workaround however would be to go straight to MS Word or something similar I estimate. *cringe*
-
Naw i just always imagined the sentinel as smart little blue aliens with high technology^.
Funny... I could say the same about the Nomads...
But then again, after reading the background on them originally from Digital Anvil pre-production information (the Nomad and DK first contact story in the Xeno-Guide), they actually remind me of the Replicators from Stargate SG-1 series! -
Holy carp! Those are some really awesome looking alien ship models!
OP, you should really consider using these for future releases of CF if they are free/open-sourced for use in FL mods.Haha! Check this out!
-
Yeah, I also complained about that a bit, as such stinky, ugly and dirty monsters don't fit with the perfectly clean and technologic ships they pilot... just looking at those ligh blue crystals that are so clean.... with nice models.
The ugliest and dirty aliens have the nicest and clean ships O.o
You guys speak about them like you have tea and crumpets with them on Sundays. *facepalm* They're frakkin' killing machines folks! It really doesn't matter what they look like,(much less their ships) because usually you're either destroying them or they are busy destroying you! There isn't much time for you to "chat" pleasantries with them, much less comment on their "attire" from inside a space ship somewhere in the center of the galaxy! *sigh*
C'mon guys, I didn't pick the images of them, talk to Maxbur about that... Better yet, find better ones for me and then we'll talk about this again when it comes time I can do an addendum to the Xeno-Guide.
I will say this though, I like the Dom Setek's picture, it's staying as is!
And yea, thanks Grand for checking it out and the compliments. -
Like, Operation Futility, where we'd go with freighters and light fighters to the inner core...
Let's not and say we did...
-
rofl, it's the Ulysses holoprouector, over a Kusary DS... you should read again the PM about all 3 holos, I even told where it's sold
Yes, I know about the locations and all that you gave me Michael, but I have never seen the Ulysses holoprojector's "projection" so....
*thhhhhppppth*That thing does look alot like the Kusari Destroyer though from what I remember... Much better looking too IMHO...
-
Meh! Sucks I couldn't be there... Oh well. *sigh*
I do have one important question though...
WAT TEE EFF is that FREEKIN' MASSIVE CAPITAL SHIP [LP] Inferno is flying??!?!!
Damn that thing is huge! It dwarfs the Osiris(or is that a Liberty Cruiser???) by a factor of 3 I'd say! I've never seen it before and it is rather impressive looking!
Stats on it would be nice too...
-
The visibility of the huge alien ships should be improved. The big DK and new Alien Races Ships appear and disappear spontaneously. I assume it might have something to do with missing LOD ranges?!
Gotta echo this when I was scouting hostile Doms while working on the Xeno Guide, the Dom'Nepesh mothership is really bad about that...
It's really strange, it's like I can see them "drop out of warp" out in front of me! LOL!
All of them do that too, not just the cap ships but the fighters too. I will see like a number of "contrails" from their engines in a split second and then, POP! There they are... (and most of the time with the cap ships I'm like OHHHH SHIII.... *scrambles* )
