Canon companies within the game will reside on their canon worlds, to make the game more interesting we'll be forcing the player to traverse the galaxy for thing, for example if you are in Coruscant and the missiles you need are the other side of the galaxy, then you will have to travel to other other side of the galaxy to buy them.

The economy and how trade is going to work out best for the player is being finished up so that we can begin once the map is done.

So everything right now rests on the map being fully finished.]]> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:22:55 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39978.html#39978 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39978.html#39978 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:01:22 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39929.html#39929 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39929.html#39929
In case anyone is interested, I'm using Wookeepedia as my source, searching each system and each planet listed and entering all the information.

Currently, I've completed all the systems that start with 'A'. At the pace I've set, I expect to have all the systems done in approx 6 weeks.

Then we'll be ready to progress to the next stage.]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:15:59 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39028.html#39028 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-39028.html#39028

I don't have any CG skills, I'm not sure about GML though, so we are eager for anyone willing to add any sort of graphics. Yes, planet textures are needed right now but we'll also need SW component graphics as well. Lots and lots of components.

(the components.txt file is over 1 Meg already and isn't done. and it's just text!)]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 11:04:30 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38827.html#38827 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38827.html#38827
That doesn't mean that it'll be ready any time soon as this mod follows the same scale as everything Star Wars. BIG, BIG and BIGGER!

We are now focused on the map and getting as many SW ships into it as possible. After that, we begin on components and such.

Stay tuned!]]> Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:56:51 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38826.html#38826 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38826.html#38826 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:10:54 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38799.html#38799 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38799.html#38799

I've been working hard these last few days in getting ships ready to put into the mod. For the time being there are 2 ships within the mod that were being used.

Ships Added into the mod
-Lucrehulk Battleship
-

Ships Prepared to be added 13/10/08 (Computer Controlled Only!)
-Lucrehulk
-Imperial Star Destroyer
-Victory Star Destroyer
-Super Star Destroyer
-MC80 Home One

Ships to be added this week 13/10/08(Player Controlled)
Providence-Class Destroyer
Carrack/S
Carrack/I
Separatist Cruiser
CR90 Corvette
Diamond-Class Cruiser
Hardcell-Class
Viscount-Class Star Defender
Venator-Class Star Destroyer

These should be within the mod by the end of the week, probably tomorrow once I get back home and add them onto the files on my laptop. Hope that helps to keep you all updated.

Some of these ships will only be controlled by the A.I. because they are just too unbalanced to be used by a player and also that in order to keep proportions of ships correct, these ships are just too big for the camera POV to fit onto the screen.

More news next week!]]> Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:54:54 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38770.html#38770 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38770.html#38770
As I said, I've returned with a Separatist Cruiser, it's a nice grey one! Properly scaled now (See I told you Bearclaw that would be my last PM to you tonight :D)

I was testing out a theory of some sort of logic. There are several SW shipsets within SE5 flying around and yet here we were wondering how we were going to get our ships.

So, yeah, I ran a test run with one of the SW ships from one of the SW shipsets. If there's still any interest in this mod (Bearclaw some answer here please?) then I will get ahold of those who created the shipsets I'm looking to use and ask their permission.

I'm hoping there is but the game will need some major overhauling and not just on the mod, the Planets/Stars need updated textures, the background needs to look better then what it is and probably the sizes need to be changed to be properly proportioned to the starships we'll be adding in.

I don't believe, for the sake of my own sanity and others, we need to add specific unique textures for the famous planets within the map Bearclaw made, it doesn't make sense that Bespin would just happen to look like the most unique gas planet out of all the gas planets out there just because Han Solo set foot there and Darth Vader took a vacation there to get Luke Skywalker. So keep them the same but make their importance significant in some other way.

Anyway, I'm willing to get this thing rolling fast now that I've figured out on adding ships into the mod (and now that ships have been made for SE5 to be used potentially within StarFury)]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:22:53 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38668.html#38668 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38668.html#38668 i want to create a similar planetary size ship called unicron (yes the biggest transformer in history)]]> Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:48:05 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38039.html#38039 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-38039.html#38039 Sat, 03 Nov 2007 00:51:33 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24924.html#24924 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24924.html#24924 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 13:57:13 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24865.html#24865 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24865.html#24865 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:09:18 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24857.html#24857 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24857.html#24857 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:01:11 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24856.html#24856 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-24856.html#24856 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 10:50:48 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22450.html#22450 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22450.html#22450 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 16:02:40 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22428.html#22428 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22428.html#22428
I haven't forgotten already about this, just still getting re-emersed in what I'm doing. As it stands, I've basicly got components done except for graphics. Just need pictures for them. The more the better. And there is a strange error I'm getting when I try to open a store.

Now that I think about it... I think I know what's happening with the stores... Most components don't have pics and I don't think I put in a temporary pic file number. That would explain it.

So, if you are looking for a place to begin, we need component pics for:
weapons
shield generators
R2 units

to start with. I'll put together a much more detailed list shortly.]]> Mon, 20 Aug 2007 12:24:57 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22427.html#22427 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22427.html#22427
Hey Fyron, if you're listening, I'd love to provide this SW map to SEV but there's no way I'm going to manually convert 342 seperate SF maps :)]]> Fri, 17 Aug 2007 22:37:08 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22358.html#22358 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22358.html#22358 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:04:02 GMT http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22342.html#22342 http://www.spaceempires.net/ftopicp-22342.html#22342 I hadn't thought of that!!
