Space spars would be pretty fun.  

With enough effort this will turn out amazing!  

I like the ideas you have.. but I hate going into severs thats are not even going to finish. This hapends so often.

Optimism! Use thy kiwi spirit!  

Since this was bumped, I might as well give a quick update on my progress as well as some plans.

Some notable updates:
-Asteroids and mining system
-3 Events and and Event System... also a space spar arena
-Factions and stations that can be captured
-NPC turrets for station defenses as well as for some PvE for credits
-Capships now have weapons and breakable components
-Radar system
-Map system
-Starter sector planned and partially filled ( a small 4x4 lvl sector for tutorials)
-The neutral sector is created and is being planned and filled. ( a 52x52 lvl sector for RvR)

Some plans:
Some time after Thanksgiving, I want to try and hold a combat test with some actual players. I would like the test to consist of 2 teams. One team is at a station they own and can launch bombers and fighters. The other team has a capship that can launch fighters. The team with the capship should try and capture the station from the defending team without losing their capship.  

Nice! I might log on and take a look later on.  

Ill take look soon when i get round to it ;)



Just went on, Its nice I like. interesting  

Anyways, here is a video showing some of the new stuff:

The Capital ship shown in the video is a long range missile cruiser. It has 2 long range missile launchers that have 90 degree frontal firing arcs that will be great for supporting pushes and taking down structures/capships. In the final version, it will have no launchable fighters or anti-fighter weapons, so it will fall prey to enemy bombers pretty easily without support.

edit: I will be taking a break during Thanksgiving since I am away and IP restrictions will not let me log on.  

Finally, A great hiring thread. (Kiwi's was good too)  

Blah64 send me one of the images for the ships i wanna make a ship.  

Well, im a Level Designer, I would work for you. Is there any application I have to fill out?

Application:
Send an email to [email protected] with the following information:

• Graal Account Name
• Development position(s) you are applying for
• Previous space games you have played
• Any suggestions you may have for the server
• Examples of your work

For the ships, there is no real ship template. The personal ships we are keeping around 60 pixels in dimensions, and the capital ships will vary in size.

Just make sure it is facing downwards.
