Topic split. A bit badly, I will admit. You may carry on with thy discussions.

[General Battuta]

Glad he cleared up some of the things definitively to you guys.

Some of us, of course, knew all of this beforehand (and actually know a bit more).

Good job Bat.

well don't be a tease

where are the puppies

So can you tell us when Blackwater operations will be released?

I found this node map some time back, perhaps was for FS3:

 You can see ShivanTown!

That looks like the BWO nodemap...

[Stormkeeper]

Funny. Was sure I had split it.

[General Battuta]

I unsplit it.

[Mr. Vega]

That map actually belongs to the Behind Enemy Lines campaign.

Which had its last update, what, eleven years ago?

A modified community version of this map would be great though.

[General Battuta]

That is a community version, you're free to do whatever you like to it.
Stop splitting this, Christ.

Just merging double posts. I don't know why. Like fighting windmills. -- jeffgreenpowervader

Stop splitting this, Christ.

I doubt that's his name.

[Mongoose]

Seriously, I've had the New Post button jump to the same exact spot like three times now.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

hrm should i sticky this

I know it's already stickied, but I think the answer should have been in-your-face obvious...

[General Battuta]

That was back in General FS where it actually got discussed. Maybe I'll move it back there.

[Nuclear1]

Yeah, I always thought moving it here was a bad idea.  The Interviews board doesn't get much attention, unfortunately.

[SypheDMar]

It should, though. Just because it's not on the top of the board anymore doesn't make it a bad read. Too bad it doesn't work that way. But rather than the thread being down here that's being the fault, maybe the case is that it's been discusses to its fullest rather than lack of attention. I feel that even if it was back up at General FS board, it'd be the same thing said, but instead of the members who posted saying something, it'd be members who just joined.

[General Battuta]

guess we'll find out

[Riptide572]

Well, well, well.

Most interesting indeed.

So, how does collapsing a star make a jump node? I though nodes required a star's gravity well to exist?

Or a body of sufficent mass. :-)
I think the remnants of a supernova (ie. a black hole or neutron star) should suffice.

[Fenrir]

Welp. This was neat and unexpected.

[Aramil]

It's all about mass and energy and while a star has a lot of both a black hole or neutron star would focus this into a very small area of space, increasing it's direct influence on other planes i.e. hyperspace itself.

The upshot would be with the correct knowledge (which you would assume they have) you could predict (and possibly engineer) the forming of stable jump nodes, and also the destruction of others. Therefore opening up & closing off areas of space to the jump node system.

It could be why some Shivan ships stayed at the stars destruction to act as some sort of focus or transmitter through space to some other destination.
