Slavic House idea - The Damned - 04-28-2007
Sry about posting this a bit later but im kinda limited here:P
A Slav house - MAN this would be the greates (if u wonder why i react that way ... uuhh maybe because im a representative of Slav ppl - Bulgaria you know..)
Anyway since the coalition was made Bad guys ins Starlancer Slavs aren't much taken as good ppl and so.
But i bet that with the sleeper ships and the Alliance there were many Slav refugees who didnt took the Coallition dictate as a good way to run things around - so why not a slav-united house with Russia as biggest country representative and then with stations/planets named after cities from the countries of eastern Euorpe (the Berlin wall crumbled 17 years ago and now European nations are united as never before - i say it not only because we , Bulgaria along with Romania are the youngest members of the EU)
So this task will take a lot of job done from the modders , system makers (a quite nice challenge for ya out there - u can always turn to us eastern europens for hints and help putting those systems in a good FL manner - mainly Igiss as a representative of eastern europe). I think it will be fun - and there isnt much need of new ships - just relocating and giving some paint job and infocards of some ships (in another mod reavenclaw and slipstream were russian ships).
Anyway not a bad idea - prob for version 4.85 or smth.
Salute!
*Takes Vaipy for a spin*
P.S. To Templar: actually the real wall agains muslims is a bit south-eastern from Polland - Bulgaria and the Byzantium empire (while it still was there). There have been numerous wars on our lands with muslims and it took a lot of bulgarians to stop them from reaching the heart of eurpoe even in the late VIII and XI century. We halped Byzantia plenty of times push back muslim sieges on Constantinopole and even kicked some latin Knights when they shacked the City and tried to invade and shack Bulgaria too... Sadly due to political and "normal for the mid-ages and XIV century feotdalism (meaning the lands were devided by many small lords) the great "crusade" of The Ottoman Empire was a Gods punishment and took down what was left of Greece , Byzantia and Bulgaria. The last official battle before Bulgaria come under 500 years of ottoman slavery was right in my hometown - the Middle-age capital of Bulgaria - Veliko Turnovo. The walls of the Tzarevetz castle still bear the blood and echoes of the fallen warriors. The castle is build on such a ridge that only trough treachery the muslims could enter in it - a traitor opened a secret tunnels beneath - classical...
Anyway the Polish are the ppl who stopped the avalnche of muslim warriors to countinue and smash down all of Europe - too bad that in that time politics couldn't work better and prevent the balkans from falling under Ottoman rule. No need telling u that these 500 years slavery come whith whatever evil nasty and grusome un-christian things u can come off with (like the blood-tax - where the local ottoman lord took the firstborn sons of the christian population and made them learn the Coran and teched them to be ruthlers killers - The Janissary , same with the girsl only the final purposes were others-u can guess what they were).
Well the story has a happy end - in 1886 the Russian empire declared war on the Turkish(then) empire = ppl from all eaurpe came here to fight alongside with the ''civilian'' and partizans for the liberation of not only bulgaria but the balkans. The rest is pollitics wich as i may add were very unfair by the Other europen countries but then again - im glad that this thing is over 100 years ago and hopefully will never happen aggain! Wow got a lil long there...but if u need more info and historian facts try the internet - but i recommend u don't trust 100% foreign than bulgarian history ''wells'' cause i've seen and read very plain stupid falce and un-true (even lies) about us and our history .
Right now there is a debate 'cuz Turkey wants in the EU too , and so there are certain equropean "historians'' who try to proove that a event like the slaughtery in Batak never happened (event occured in the year of 1885-6 during the April uprising where all bulgaria tried to free herself - and main provokative event for Russia to come fourth/ so there this town was a place witnessed one of world's biggest masseceres ever - thousands of yound boys and girs , and adult men and women killed,decapitated,sliced to bits and parts on hills of body parts .. etc. - monstrocity... words can't describe it. And on that time many europen reporters documented this and tried to tell the europian community (but like u haven't guessed goverments of the countries didnt let that became public...)
Anyway i close these BIG P.S. hystory lesson over kids - go play now!

(sigh) Good to have one more historian on the team.
Anywho, while a slav house would rock, there would be tons of work to make it happen.
Slavic House idea - McNeo - 04-28-2007
To be honest, Slavs were probably part of the Coalition, not the aliance...:sleep:
Slavic House idea - Panzer - 04-28-2007
Maybe, maybe not...
Didn't see any of my countrymen in Starlancer...
Anyway, another wacky sugestion of mine:crazy:
If there are mk II LFs, then maybe mk II vanilla freighters?
I mean making the rhinos, clydesdales, mules and dromedaries something worth flying and trading with on a regular basis. They perhaps wouldn't have as a big hold as the large train (physically improbable), but at least some 2000-3000 cargo? As in, there is a bigger humpback - the behemoth... Perhaps making the same to other small freiggters would be worth considering?
Imo, on one mod it has been nicely-made to make each and every freighter have the same cargo hold. There was variety at least.
Not every man and his dog flying a large train or container transport...
Slavic House idea - The Damned - 04-29-2007
Prob not a bad idea... but we need lots of new models of ships to do that 'cause right now the cargo capacity of the ships is exactly fitting the size and model they are ... good thing to think about though.
Slavic House idea - McNeo - 04-29-2007
If we were to do that, then the models would have to be scaled up to at least the size of a transport or large transport. This means that the hardpoints need to be redifined, tweaks need to be made to the model and textures need to be re applied.
It can be done, but at this point it isnt necessary IMHO.
Slavic House idea - Exile - 04-29-2007
Enlighthen me,
what the heck is this "Slav" people keep using, something like slaves or what?
Slavic House idea - Lt.Cmdr.Olsav - 04-29-2007
Eastern European peoples. like me and templar. poles, hungarians, ukrainians, countries like that.
Slavic House idea - Nightfall - 04-29-2007
Hungarians are not Slavs, they come from the Huns (Atila is still a common name amongst them). You can try a few countries South of Hungary, you'll find lots of Slavs there.:P
Not that it matters much, but here's the list of countries:
- former Soviet Union (not sure which countries, not all of them I think)
- Poland
- Czech Republic
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Croatia
- Serbia
- Bulgaria
- Macedonia
Slavic House idea - Lt.Cmdr.Olsav - 04-29-2007
well he gets the idea
im psyched if we actually get this done, but we must be careful as i have seen houses added in other mods and the integration is not very good.
