I've ported Freespace 2 to Starshatter: The Gathering Storm platform ( www.starshatter.com ). Does this exclude the possibility of getting the project hosted under HLP?

[Snail]

Welcome to the HLP!!


Well HLP does not host projects anymore because it hosts too many already, apparently. But I say that HLP should open up its doors to new projects and start hosting again. But for now, you'll have to make do with the huggly Sectorgame.

Thank you very much. I've been a silent supporter for this community (and the FS genre) since 2002 and I think this you people have done a marvelous job! However, here is some links and pictures of my proect for you guys to chew on. I'll be opening the FSO game site within the next few days, possibly in the beginning of the May. However, I have one question about the HLP Wiki. Is it okay to reproduce some of it's contents on my own project website wiki (with disclaimer stating credits to whom they belong) to provide a reliable source of FS information from the perspective of my campaign? Material of my own origin is mostly non-canon and therefore I'd rather choose not to mess up the HLP wiki with it.

------------------------------

A couple of years back I commenced a project of creating a Freespace total conversion MOD for the Starshatter. The project is now nearing it's completion and has grown from the original concept into something much more than just a MOD. There has been a void for a space simulation/economy game hybrid. In FSO, you may choose a faction (from among six different human and vasudan factions) to create your own fortune by allying, using diplomacy or by conquesting other players in a PvP clan war manner.

In FSO, you create and manage a spacefaring faction of your own, interact with other players and non-players and commence trade via a browser-based economy game system (see the screenshot links below). Do you believe to have what it takes to be not only a pilot but also a successful base commander?

The project is completely non-profit.

That's funny...FS2 has been corverted?

[Snail]

What's that fighter you target... I can't make out the top-down interface

[mattivanhanen]

Edjo class sentries. The guy had bought a dozen of them to protect his domain. However, they were wiped out rather quickly.   

[Snail]

Wow people are already playing this? Cool.

[mattivanhanen]

Yeah, but they are a group of alpha testers to seek out glitches in economy and gameplay. We've had our moments of fun though.

What, you referring to other Finnish government personnel? I'll keep that in mind in next elections... people who like space sims can't be bad people to rule a country.

Welcome to the forums...

Believe me, I've heard all those jokes.  It is my real name.

That's long, though. I know you won't be valid for my kill count(Spam King welcomed you) , but...

No. I am not the Spam King. I am... THE SPAM HIVE!!!!!

(SH Snail)

[Mobius]

How you can be a Hive? You're the Spam King.

[Snail]

I control 4000+ posts.

spam-juggernaut takashi reporting for meaningless posts, master.

[Mobius]

Hey! takashi's number of posts is escalating!!!

[takashi]

alpha wing! your objective is to take out the takashi's forward spam turrets!

[Snail]

Alpha 2: Damn it, the takashi's changed its signature again! Command, we need a new flame here!!
Alpha 3: It's also changed its custom text, it's just modifying its profile too fast, we can't get a good insult!
Command: The one thing it can't change is its username. We're thinking up of puns of the word takashi now, pilots!

By the divine decree of Flying Spaghetti Monster, I hereby declare this:

Know this, o forumites of the internets: Spam is a sacrilege to His Holy Noodlyness, and He will never relent in His post-humous smiting of those who send Spam to His Domain. His Noodlyness prefers His tubes clean, not clogged by asinine spam. Besides, spam is and never has been comparable to proper Spaghetti in tastyness. He, however, understands that some may have had flawed upbringing due to the fact that His Noodlyness made himself known to world only a couple of years ago, and thus wants to offer choice to salvation to anyone who wishes to repent and abandon their previous lifes if spam.


Please, guys... at least keep your spamming in the Pub. This is... or was... an interesting topic.

You have spun my interest in StarShatter. Downloading demo of that game now... Maybe it even proves to be good enough to buy (and subsequently try this TC if/when you manage to get it ready).

[Dysko]

I already have Starshatter TGS. I had some difficulties at the beginning (for example had problems switching on the ILS or landing in atmospheric missions), but now I have improved in flying fighters (no, I can't still fly capships and carriers properly... ).

This means I'll download your TC as soon as it is finished.
