An idea I had - Constantine - 02-23-2006
This is an idea that I had and thought I would try to make a system in Freelancer Explorer... Its also a story :P
Well the beginning of the story is just after the destruction of Freeport 7. There are several attacks on ships around Bretonian and Omega systems, the Bretonian Armed Forces send the Battleship Intrepid to investigate a system where the unknown ships appear to be coming from. As the ship enters the system there isn't much there. The ship goes towards a planet where they pick up a strange contact on sensors.. A huge blue ship appears and opens fire. Their sheilds start to fail and the Intrepid trys to swing around and enter cruise. Their engine takes a direct hit and sends a chain reaction which shuts down their reactor. As power all over the ship fails the strange ships backs away. With lots of crew dead and sitting on a Battleship with no defences in open space, the remaing crew decided to abandon ship. The few ships they have head into a nebula to hide from the ships. After a while they decide to make a base inside an asteriod. The base starts to run out of supplies and oxygen supplies and needs more. Some of the ships head back to the wreck.. still untouched. They find the life support systems of the Intrepid still intact, there is no way to get the equipment back to the base. They decide to tractor the hulk towards the base. The ramining crew of the ship repair the systems of the ship and connect it to the base.
Years later they are still on the base.. but it is a colony.. with no way to get back to the known systems.. they have to live there.
I tried to make a system in FLE but it's being annoying lol. This could be an asteroid bae joined to a battleship. With two dockable parts.
I really want to hear what you think.

I like it, very original :P .

Want me to make it for you? I can connect the base and "destroyed" battleship with a long space station arm. It look like the arm that normally holds tanks but it has a dock-like end.

It's ok i can put things togther in FLE.. I just need to download it again I think.
Here take a look..

It had about 10 dockable parts and a built in jump gate :P

Good. Cool idea. Very original :yahoo:
I look forward to see the system in the mod... :)

I made that station a while back but it stopped working for some reason..
When i get FLE working again i'll make the system I was talking about. I can make the base but the entire system makes me quite confused lol.
Finius has been to that huge station on my test server but it stoopped working but all the data is still there. I might be able to rescue it somehow.

The reason that it crahsed was probably due to the Proximity ranges, FLE is fickle about how far base's are apart.
Example, you put 5 or 6 bases within a 10K circle and it starts to get errors, the mmost you ever want is 2 more than that and you start gettin errors, like Fortbush and the shipyard, the Ring, Essen and dortmund, there in groups of two.
I sucks cause u can't build a huge colony, the limit i was allowed was 2 stations.

I built quite a lot there and it worked I can't remember what I did before it started going wrong.
I just tried FLE again and it isn't working :(
It says cannot find the file C:/TEMP

Anything cool to add to make the game more fun sounds good.

PM me the file and I'll check all the system coding for error. Mostly caused by duplicates of a certain thing for the base. Check the FLE tutorial to find out what I am talking about if you want. If I can find anything in the copy of the files ill try to fix it and send you the fixed file.
EDIT: Plus I can make the rest of the system for you and add in debris from the battleship and FP7. As well as a good background and asteroid fields, and zone population.
