Title: Another, "Hey, i'm new!" topic
Post by: Reggie on April 11, 2011, 03:00:51 pm
I've only recently found this mod, originally I was following the btrl mod and then a friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this one.
Took me ages to find... admittedly because the person who told me cant pronounce or spell diaspora for toffee  :)
From what I've seen in the gallery, well, wow was the only descriptive word that came to mind, I'm very impressed!
And don't worry, I'm not going to ask the dreaded question of, "RELEASE DATE PLZ OMG!?!?!" and i cant offer any assistance other than what could be a horrible bit of voice casting with my yorkshire accent (although i might try...)
I'll stop kissing your asses for now, just wanted to say good work and I'm very much looking forward to your mod! :)

p.s
I'm a very patient person anyway, Ive been waiting for my football (soccer to those over the pond) team to get back to the premier league for 8 years  :banghead:

Good to have you on board.

Where in Yorkshire are you from? I lived in Hull for 7 years myself. :D

Welcome to the boards Reggie. No promises but the Yorkshire accent might actually be interesting as a voice of someone from one of the colonies. We do know they used various accents for different colonies - maybe we could make you captain of a mining vessel from Picon or something :P

Might you have room for a dashing captain with a Spanish accent? (ducks)

OK, maybe a janitor with a Spanish accent? :P 

short-order cook?


Welcome aboard, Reggie.. here, lemme make you an omelet...with the corners cut off..:P

Just found this place myself today by pure accident. I had no idea of the existence of "Diaspora" until less than an hour ago.

I must say, I'm very impressed with (among other things) the cockpits. That was something that I sorely missed from "Freespace". Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the replies!
And when i have a free house I'll give the voice acting a go... found it hard when people are in to give any conviction to, say,"KRPYTOR, KRPYTOR, I'M GOING DOWN!" without feeling embarrassed... :s
@ Karajorma, I'm from the lovely part of yorkshire known as Bradford although i prefer to think of myself as a Leeds lad :)

Hi Reggie!

There's a whole bunch of "Leeds Lads" over here in Shenzhen, China at the moment. One of them was responsible for my major hangover the other day. He was worse, though. He's got no memory of us putting him into a taxi and sending him home.

Maybe we should have a HLP China meeting. It would really piss off the Americans if we managed it when they still haven't had any luck with HLP USA. :p

Shenzhen's a long way from Henan though.

Wow! Didn't realise that you were in China too! (Spell checker doesn't seem to like my British spelling of "realise").

So, how long have you been here? I came for six months - sixteen and a half years ago!
Title: Re: Another, "Hey, i'm new!" topic
Post by: karajorma on April 18, 2011, 03:16:02 am
I've been in Henan for about a year and a half now, teaching English. There are a couple of other people on the board doing much the same.

It's something of a long running joke that really over here cause I'm planning on outsourcing Diaspora to Chinese people who will do the same work at half the cost. :p

I must say, I'm kind of new, never posted before though.  I've been following threads since Beyond the Red Line.  I'm excited for the completion of Diaspora.  There really hasn't been a space sim worthy since FS2.

Why in hell's name would you want to repel Cylons? Haven't you seen what models 6 and 8 look like?  ;7

Howdy, folks. I'm on the newer side of things; ages ago when the BtRL demo was still on the earlier side of progress I got involved briefly, picked up a thing or two about Blender and Maya, then promptly disappeared. Heard about the splitup, saw some old names this way, and wandered over.

This should probably be in another topic. But hey welcome back!
