Mod work is in progress once again, after a long break from it. My brain was on overload and I had to take a step back.
That said, there is now a need for a training area for new pilots to get some vanilla f/o experience. Hell, I could do with some myself hehe. So without further ado, I'll get cracking with the modding again. I'll probably set up the weps and ships for now, to let the server get going, and work on the updated mod in the background.
Current plans are to modify Gabriel system to include a further 4 bases (set in an inverted pentagram pattern accross the system) with trade lanes linking them. You can think of it like an assault course, where each base along the path gives progressively more difficult NPC missions, until you reach the last base where I reckon only the best pilots will be able to complete on their own. We might even set up a little tourny contest to see who can complete the course in the shortest time. I don't think we can afford any special prizes but we could publish the results on a league table in the forum. Let me know your thoughts on that.
So, time permitting, I'll have the server up and running on Saturday around 6pm GMT (maybe earlier, depending on RL, but I'll keep you all posted)
Mupp out!

Update: Power drain on weps has been a big problem for me this past week. We have an eagle starting ship and its loadout was all screwed up. This resulted in hving lvl 10 weps and the yellow power bar draining faster than a fast thing However after trying to fix it, and getting a weird (ship must have a power plant installed) message in the game, I got a frying pan and hit myself on the head with it a few times. This provided enough clarity to let me see that all I had to do was clone a working loadout and add it to the newplayer's profile. Testing shows it now works - not a lick of power used by any weps now. Yay. Then after all that, I found the reason why wep drain was ok in last version of mod. It was because the flmm speed mod was being run with no power drain option. Oh well after all that at least I figured out how to integrate it into our mod. All thats needed now is to get the equipment on the base sorted and adjust the cruise speed. That should be easy and I expect to have the server up tonight around 7pm GMT. I'll get some of you on xfire or msn to start some tests. If it works ok, then we can have a pvp practice server for the night. I'll be working on all the other bits that still need to be added, after the tourny on BSG.

This can be 3d modelling, texture creation, ini file editing, XML scripting experience, or just a good imagination to come up with some workable ideas... I am prepared to pass on any knowledge I've gained from this to help others get involved. cmon guys, throw the mupp a bone! If you have anything to offer just post below.
