I am now focusing on the quality of the runway models, I am now working with a friend that is going to help me in this phase. It's difficult also because I have to insert many different models otherwise you are going to see often runways and stations duplicates in different planets. Will you be adding parking areas to the runways that craft will move to after landing. How big will the cities be as in a lot of these games the cities often look small, IIRC the only one I have seen which looked right was in a video for infinity from a few years ago.

Fixed your vid Damiano so it displays in thread (note: drop everything after the video code in the url) Now on to the landings, these are nice and I like how you calculate damage. Now will the gear be able to handle a ship coming in fast or will it possibly fail on touching a surface depending on atmospheric temps?

[Pinback]

Great vid  Yes, Airports and Starports will have parking spots.Have you thought about doing different types of starports for different technology levels, as an example a colony world which has been newly settled would have a rough landing strip with banked earthen blast walls around the parking bays and a long settled world with a high technology level would have high tec futurist airport setting.

It's an idea from the role playing game Traveller with the blast walls around a parking bays, few picture here from the internet as an example of them. The top and bottom one show a vertical pad with the middle one having a runway.

Yes, very nice. Do you think it is better that some sort of moving floor moves the spaceship to the parking area or the player have to move manually the ship by himself? I say it would depend on the technology level of the planet, if its a colony or low tec world then the player would have to taxi themselves to the parking bays. High tec industrial rich planets or moon bases would be more automated, the player may still have to taxi the ship to specific area then some sort of robot platform could take the ship to the bay where it would be connected to the ports facilities.

Great video Damiano just get more impressive every time you show a new video :good: One thing I would pick out is the radar in the cockpit looks a bit 2D might be wrong about this as it's hard to see?, but if it is have you thought about replacing it with the Elite type radar. Also will you see the reentry heat shield about the ship as it enter the planets atmosphere an example of what I am on about here from the Tomorrow War game you also saw it when you were inside the cockpit. Also do you intent the ships to use fuel?.

Any news?

[CaptainKal]

Well done Damiano. Getting a new job is always good news!!!!

[Pinback]

Aye well done on the job front Damiano are you still on target for the Mac release?.

[Pinback]

May be better to go with the second option when you have some free time to follow up on suggestions from players.

Hi was curious will there be fps or ground combat & will you be able to get out of your ship & walk around your ship?Thanks for any info. Shadowma

How about an anti gravity motor bike to zoom around on the planet surface, could be carried by smaller ship which don't have a big enough cargo bay for an ATV.

[CaptainKal]

OK! I 'm impressed!!! :drinks:
