Well, it's been ages since I've posted here :( so I hope this is the right place. Syrk is hiring FREDer's and a couple other positions. If your interested, see the list below.
- FREDer's are currently needed rather badly. If you would like to tryout, please send me or Lucika a mission that you've previously worked on (via e-mail or just post it here) and we'll let you know whether you qualify right away!
- Planet Designers. We have one planet designer onboard for us at the moment, but any others that could help with this, it would be appreciated. If you would like to help this way, please contact Lucika via a PM, or go ahead and post here.
- Tablers. Tablers for ships and weapons are needed rather badly. I know how to do it myself, but not very well. if interested, post below.
All the help we can get would be greatly be appreciated. So go ahead and either post here, or post Here (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?p=123208#post123208).

I believe that the campaign's premise would be more than useful:
Syrk: The Unification Wars
Humanity has risen. Originated on the third planet of the Sol system and having greater dreams about their future, they’ve colonized Sol. But their fragile peace had shattered in no time and a civil war started… and the conflict’s outcome will surely determine humanity’s fate… but even though every single Terran is sure about this, none of them can expect that they’ll meet their nemesis on the other side of an unstable jump node…
-
Will there be any link with TVWP or is it totally independent ?
-
We might use a few ships if we get permission, but no storyline connections. The campaign takes place much before encountering the Vasudans.
-
Well I can't edit dragonsniper's post but I think that since we only have a Saturn to make, another Planet Designer is unnecessary.
FREDders and
tablers
are still appreciated :)
-
Additional data can be found on my dev blog, and, more importantly, the forums.
-
I think that Syrk could use my tabling skills, I'm soon (in a few days) going to have loads of free time, so I'd like to help.
-
I'll PM you immediately and answer as soon as I get to computer.
-
The first screenshots are up on the forum. (Dragon, PM me if you're reading this, I couldn't contact you in the past days.)

Wasn't it supposed to be set before the Great War ?
-
Yeah. The mods weren't implemented yet, hence the Ulysses.
As for the Shivans... you'll see ;7
-
So what are the Factions in the Civil War and does the player get to choose a faction or is it chosen for them?
-
Yeah. The mods weren't implemented yet, hence the Ulysses.

:wtf:
I assume that means this campaign was formulated before the wonders of FSO came about...
Otherwise, using the awful-looking (as of this point in time) GTF Angel and Apollo fighters would be the only sensible thing to do. After all, the Uly was a joint Terran-Vasudan design produced during the Shivan incursion...

No, you've misunderstood me. We've began FREDding before we would've added some modded ships. We have technical difficulties with the new ships but we've started FREDding anyway with the FS2 ships.

Yes. Ran into a lot of ship tabling problems and such, thus, these ships will be used :( until we can fix the problem.

Ladies and gentlemen!
Project Syrk has came to an important day: we've reached our one-year anniversary!
That's right, it was exactly 365 days ago when a naive and infant Lucika contacted the HLP community with high hopes and great plans about his campaign idea in this very topic. (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=60593.0)
As a celebration, we've put together a little video for you to see what kind of awesome stuff we've managed to put together!
Without further ado, I present the Glorious Link. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u85ILgewUV4)
Enjoy! :)
Don't forget to watch in HD!

Interesting...
I LOLed at the "Shoot Alpha 1 to kill!" part. Seemed the cruiser you just destroyed at that moment was friendly :p
EDIT : About the Shivan part, will it remain consistent with canon, or are you creating a whole parallel continuity ?

Yup :p
EDIT: Highlight plox? :D

Wow. What music did you guys use? That was incredible. :)

Hey, glad you liked it! :)
The soundtrack is E. S. Posthumous - Unstoppable
-
Oh, that's right, I knew I recognized it...it was in an NFL commercial once. Excellent choice! :)
-
I'm going to be a nitpicker here because I can :P
No starfield.pof!
Why are all those cruisers&faustus lined up perfectly? It just screams "Placed on a grid!" to me.
I noticed some odd white texture flashing when one of those cruisers died.
It seems rather odd to have the Thor flying around in a time frame where you are suppose to fly pre-great war fighters. Yes I know its just a model and not an established canon craft. But in general, the Thor is often used to be.. well... awesome and modern. So its hard to see it any other way.
If you are going to record awesome footage... don't fly close to a hull and collide with it just before the fade out :p
-
It looks like you are using a good many of the OTT models...
And yeah, from the visuals I get the impression the story isn't too coherent... Of course, as I don't know where to get more backstory on your project, That's not too fair an assumption, either.
-
The music was nice, but the FREDding and story didn't seem up to snuff. It's a small-team project, but maybe you guys should focus on putting together a few quality missions for a demo and playtesting the heck out of them? Don't get bogged down in making an absurdly extensive modpack.
-
I'm very sorry, but this trailer didn't make me enthusiastic about this project at all. While your assets are very nice (those planets are drop-dead gorgeous), just the fact that you have some seemingly stupid capship drivers turned me off.
Also, (apparent) lack of starfield.pof makes me sad.
-
Fortunately, they're easy-to-fix problems. Nothing a bit of effort can't handle.
-
EDIT : About the Shivan part, will it remain consistent with canon, or are you creating a whole parallel continuity ?
We will be consistent with canon. I am not gonna spoil the method just yet.
As for the capship battles, well... you'll see what we have on mind ;7
-
Also, (apparent) lack of starfield.pof makes me sad.
Not to worry. As you all probably know, that is easy enough to fix, and will be included.
-
So what are the Factions in the Civil War and does the player get to choose a faction or is it chosen for them?
The factions are briefly listed at our forums. The player will play as the STA.
-
At the moment we are in need of a part time texture person. It wouldn't be a full time job, we just have a model that needs texturing. If anyone is willing to give it a shot, please let me know.

Two. Don't forget the abandoned mining station.
-
This issue (texturing) has been resolved.
FREDders are still needed badly.

I am hoping you have very very very very very very very good explanation as to why Shivans are in the Unification War, and why everyone forgot about them by the time FS1 rolls around.
-
I am hoping that MISLE is some kind of acronym and now how you spell 'missile'.

An update for everyone. Syrk progress has really slowed down as of lately. With school and RL, and a major lack of FREDers and bugtesters, things are moving... very slowly. Anyhow, here is a list of what is needed, since I feel lazy to update the one on the first page.
Green = Needed and spots are open.
Yellow = Not as badly required, and spots are open.
Red = Not needed (obviously :D)
-FREDers Needed very badly. If anything is going to kill this project, it will be the lack of FREDers.
-Texturers We have a couple ships that require to be textured. I believe the file formats are in .3ds and can be exported to Maya if necessary (not sure on that though.)
-Bugtesters Anyone that wants to have some fun with constructive criticism and bugtesting the missions, let us know.
-Modders/tablers It is unlikely that modders or tablers will be needed. We will inform you if there are any openings.
-Planet Designer/Background Designer Have a great one at the moment. Thus, it's not currently needed.
If your interested in helping in any way to make this go faster, then either PM myself or Lucika, or go ahead and comment here. :)
