I'll say this much, I have a project slowly but surely coming arround that is a military style space-sim (WingCommander, FreeSpace) set in the Sol system.

No shields, no FTL, intertialess drives are very rare. Machine guns are used, but energy weapons are also fielded. Missiles and nuclear ordinance are the most common weapons in the arsenal however.

The plot is very... very complex however    

Edit: I will say this much UN police actions in the former Eastern bloc states are very similar to what's going on...

Well, for years, that's about what OuterSpace was about, but the last days, I'm completly thinking it over again. I want originality after all, the whole stuff wasn't bad, but it wasn't new.

what?

[KillMeNow]

can you make it so that the turrets will not fire on something if the model it is attached is inbetween it and the target? cause that a very annoying thing with fs2

[Thorn]

Heh, I had that problem when I was converting the Heavy Cruiser...
"No you fool! Dont shoot yourself!"
Thats up there with Alpha 2 trying to fly through the Psamtik...

a great thing would be that turrets are separate models. On the ships with turrets, the turrets wouldn't come along, you would rather have docking points in their place, and in a setup screen, you choose what turret you would put on the ship

I don't think Avenger's going to be doing much posting any more.

[wEvil]

uhhh..why was he banned?!

[Thorn]

He did something really stupid....

[wEvil]

such as?

[Shrike]

Hacking the forums.

[Zeronet]

Whats the point of that.

[wEvil]

and this warrants a ban because...?


Being intolerant is just going to damage the community at large.

[Shrike]

None, really.  Other than showing how clever and how stupid he is at the same time.

Because he did it twice, the second time after saying he won't do it again.
Because he hacked the CP and made himself an admin.  Malicious hacking is most definately worth a ban
Because he gave himself access to all the private forums.
Because he attempted to damage the forums themselves.
Because he continues to threaten the forums.

In case you missed it, he HAD his chance, and he blew it BIGTIME.

Can he cause trouble banned?

[Shrike]

Oh, indeed.  He tried to lock all the admins out of the system.  Didn't work.  UBB 5.45 is rather insecure as such things go, which is one of the reasons we're actively going forward with a BB upgrade, which should be significantly more secure.

But basically, instead of taking his lumps like a man who did something wrong, he lashed out at us.

I guess this explains a few of the recent topics directed towards hosted people. I hope he soon realise's continue attempts to harm HLP will do nothing to help him.

So what's this mean for the game engine?

That's alright then.  This is the first I've heard of his hacking.
