  • A restart

    If you require extra station modelling you've seen my work. I can start making some of the "good ol' stuff". I may also give a hand on writting. Anything you want.

  • Silver Arrows Operation : Far Reach

    Dave arranged as he saw fit the conference room on the SA Tactical Ops Deck. It was a big move for him in his career as a scientist. Having tough times in his past back on DSE he was contacted by one specific individual within SA, because his skills were about to be used for good. He calibrated the holoprojector, arranged his suit. He was quite nervous. For years he searched for an opportunity like this, now his calls were answered.


    The room had a very sophisticated look, making the rumors true about the technological level of the Arrows. Dave took a look over his PDA and analyzed it again, then the door of the room opened, it was his superior officer, cmdr. Hanzo Hasashi smiling and waving him.


    Hanzo : So are you up for this Dave ?


    Dave : I'm a little bit uptight but I can do it. Got all my homework done *smiling*


    Hanzo : Good luck, the Arrow staff will arrive shortly and also the admiralty board.


    Dave : Wait... what ? The admiralty comes too ?


    Hanzo : Yes, they want to see the reason I kept buzzing them around, if the investment will be worth it..


    Dave : Alright ... I will do it.


    Hanzo : I know you can, good luck *smile*


    Hanzo went and greeted the other members which came as following, Lt. Cmdr. Glen Moraigne, Lt. Eugene Bennet, Lt. Cmdr. David Hayter, Cpt. Raiden Caprica. The fellow members of the SA Tactical Command staff looked intrigued, curious and with a little of mistrust into the new scientist that was standing infront of them, with a little bit of anxiety. After some minutes, the admiralty came with Martind Forlon and Sam Thomas. He heard about them and knew they were legends into the far reaches of Sirius. It was honorable for Dave to show them his knowledge and research. Things got a little smoother when he saw the two admirals arriving, giving him a friendly smile of approval and trust.


    All set down and Dave begun, Hanzo took seat right infront of him watching him in a friendly manner. The lights opened revealing Dave's blond hair and blue eyes and the pale skin he had. His black long coat covered only part of his metallic arms, which got the attention of some of the members in the conference room.


    Dave : Good evening, gentlemen, fellow members of the SA Command, Admiralty staff. My name is Dave Synk, I am scientist that graduated the Manhattan Research Institute on the New York system. My specialization and the PhD i have is in Xenobiology and Space-Time continuum alterations. For almost ten years I've studied intensified a spatial phenomena called "Phased Alteration" because of an unfortunate moment in my life. Basically, a phased alteration is an unstable jump hole that can send you in the far reaches of our galaxy within seconds. The space-time continuum is altered and heavily manipulated so these links or gaps in space are formed. The source is not natural. There are special cases in which these events occur naturally, but the risk of accessing these phenomenons are quite high, resulting to sudden death. I worked with the DSE 12 years ago, but after deciding to leave the close minded corporations of Liberty, I thought to pursue more exotic goals, The Order. I participated as science officer in the various battles that occured after the discovery of Planet Crossfire. One of those battles cost me my arms. I then went even further with the research on the K'Hara species, the legacy of the K'Vosh Empire. K'Hara or Nomads of course. The K'Hara species guided me and my scientifical division towards the Inner Core sector. I've seen the environment there and it's astonishing how those species, so advanced and old in time, waged war on one another. Reminds me of our ancient enemies, the Eastern Coalition, I am still not believing how pacifying they are now in these times.


    He took a sip of water and went on.


    Dave : But I said enough of myself, I will move on on the project I want to propose to the Silver Arrow Command. I've called it Far Reach. Studying the Inner Core system, it was revealed to me that some planets, in key position in the system are habitable. Doing further analysis I've managed to come to the idea that one specific planet is capable of maintaining human life. At least at minimum levels so far, Planet Pichon located in the Ryssk system, at the border with the K'Vosh territory. I've seen that SA made already contact with the K'Vosh for the first time some time ago. My proposal is, we must take our reaches to the next level. My opinion is that the Inner Core is filled with magnificent resources and secrets that are yet undiscovered and this will mean a great opportunity for the Arrows to bring progress and advancement yet again, to the human civilization. There is yet a problem. As you know it, the Inner Core is very hostile towards our kind and even between them, the hostilities are amazingly savage. But first.. I will show you my idea..


    Dave went towards the table and detached from his hand a small cube putting it on the middle of the conference table. It was very detailed and designed with various strange details, they looked like alien origin. He then pressed two sides of the cube and then it split in two, revealing inside, a sphere that was floating. Then from it, a massive and incredibly detailed holo-projection was made.

    The giant star map, was filled with detailed information about the trajectory of the planet, the orbit around it's sun, exact coordinates, the surface overview, locations of the outpost establishment. Later it switched to another detailed scene regarding the surface outpost which was quite impressively big.



    Dave : This is an early plan of an outpost. As you can see it is shielded by an alloy combined of titanium-niobium alloy wall. The other structures are ancient alien ruins, possibly K'Vosh but at a secondary analysis the results indicated told it could've been Setek remains, old about 10 million years or even more. The surface outpost will have the role to extract resources from the planet's surface so it can fuel our secondary objective which will be taken in view shortly. The main resources we will use to make the outpost and the future city, will be an alloy composed of Titanium, Gold, Niobium and Thelerium. The Thelerium can be found here *Switched to the star map* in Venn, in the Pyrrdra system and also Jormdar. Alongside Thelerium we can find the common materials that will be used to create our forward outpost but also, more exotic ones such as Syntherit, Theon. These last two are apparently under heavy usage on the Razak stations. Apparently they use these two materials from the raw core of some of their planets and fuel their bases. Those are unique and rare elements. My sources could not find any other place for them to be extracted. The Razak use a combination of them to create some sort of energy or fuel on their reactors. The main power source will be this .. *switched to a 3D schematic of an apparent reactor design*



    Dave : .. a Phaeton Class Neutrinic Acceleration fusion reactor. On the research I made and the technology aquired while I worked within the Order, I was able to design these on future terraforming plans on Nomad Worlds, so I can guarantee they are safe proof with high durability. Nano technology is the key to our resolution on Planet Pichon. And there is also this..



    Dave : ... schematic of the Far Reach Harbor. Heart of the human civilization in alien space.. And now... your opinion gentlemen..


    Message from OP of thead (Dave): "FYI - We wanted to keep this inRP only. For SA members for now, but we'll branch out and ask for help from all organizations. More will be added soon." In the mean time the thread will be cleared out and this line added to the text from Dave. :) - {LP}50Pack{X}

  • Help needed regarding Issues launching CF - also installing it

    Hey guys. I've been trying to reinstall CF again but as long as I recall, it's the first time I try it on my laptop. Anyway I have 2 issues, one regarding installation and the other is about trying to launch it.


    So the first one being the launching crash, I will specify the second because I think it has to do with the launch, anyways, things go like this. I've been trying for the 4th time to install the mod (Even reinstalled the Windows - yup that desperate to play CF :D) because it fails to launch. It has some odd behaviours, as in I can launch sometime the game, get into the menu, even log in ! But when I hit launch it just does a CTD. Then after I try to get again in the game, it crashes before reaching the menu.


    I have 2 errors identified, one was DACOM.dll, the faulted module but apparently that wasn't the issue.
    Error Dump.jpgError Dump2.jpg
    So as you can see, I don't quite know what to actually do about it. Tried every possible thing. Installation was not the problem. But the source of the whole error might be because on installation, when I reach a file to be copied (a starsphere I guess) my HDD fails and get BSoD. So I then resume the installation. It goes with success but I guess that the interruption might cause these glitches. Also I noticed a graphical glitch when I selected as background in the menu one of the Stories, the characters were just floating into space with no other objects around. Pretty weird. Any help will be appreciated - Cheers :D

    I can "teach" you how to model :D Well in SketchUp, the easiest way to do it :P And if you have time and creativity, you can do wonders. Trust me on that :D

    Since we talk about this stuff..


    Personally, I would like to see the proposed ideas about NPC control. As in you can buy as certaion station, or create your own production facility, then slowly as it evolves you can expand your little "empire" with other groups or players, and create from fighters to more large warships. And not only military ships, you could also create only highly sophisticated mining and trading ships and sell them to other groups that are not capable of such. Ideas...

    Indeed the work OP has done it's amazing. I hope we will manage to gather enough members into it's development.


    And regarding Continuum, well yeah since I was the only member left... :|. But still all the existing resources (as OP specified) are shifted towards the new Freelancer game :D
