So, from a scripting standpoint, add the abilities of the HQ to a moving platform?

However i don't really like the look of it

Nice effort though

I think it looks as good as any behemoth of a carrier could possibly look, given the fact that it has to be able to fit through a gate.

Well, it doesnt HAVE to fit though the gates, just give it an energy free jump drive (the generators on this thing must be MASSIVE) and let it do point to point jumps, this thing would be the most advanced peice of technology theoreticly

...and some people were whining about it being unbalanced...

Well lets say the drive takes close to 3 min to go from 0% to 100% charge then jump it wouldnt be terribly unbalanced, you couldnt use it in a tight situatio nto save your ships butt

and if the thing is in the bilion dollar range i think it is worth it.

Alternatively one can use it or leave it, or fix it yourself.

Presumably the Fortress will always be charged for initial jump. Although the Fortress IS navigable though gates, I personally generally use it as a stationary fleet HQ, for sector take-over purposes, or for escaping sector invasion by others (Khaak, Xenon).

The links have difficulties for two reasons. One, my server is periodically going down, and I haven't moved everything over to my XFP account since the original Fortress was created prior to XFP (and I've been lazy about moving the pics). Secondly, the download link was deliberately removed because the original Fortress is now obsolete/mothballed. The new Fortress will be released along with the immenent XFP re-release.

You know what would be awesome is if people ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD SO OBSERVE DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP REPEATING HIMSELF.

Sheesh people. Don't be rude to modders, they are not your personal servants!

it still looks like a dirty Q-tip doesnt it?

(just kidding)

say, did anyone have issues with the xsp of the older version of this ship?
i seem to remember having isues with it but cannot recall.

(i'm trying to fix the broken ones and help to update all the old ones).

danielhumphries50 · Post by **danielhumphries50** » Thu, 22. Mar 07, 21:45

yes but what is the point of having a script that noone can access

Gazz · Post by **Gazz** » Thu, 22. Mar 07, 21:54

I would say your rights to bitch about someone's mod's availability are roughly equal to what you paid for it.

jackleonfraust · Post by **jackleonfraust** » Thu, 22. Mar 07, 22:04

someone has there grumpy-pants on.

reinhart_menken · Post by **reinhart_menken** » Thu, 22. Mar 07, 22:47

I would have to agree with Klyith and Gazz very strongly; took the words right out my mouth.

You ain't paying Observe to do all this, show some gratitude or at least respect. I would have said more if this forum didn't have policies against that.

Eeeeeww.
I've (thankfully) never seen a qtip that dirty. Closest would have been when my cat had ear mites. kitty eargasm

You ain't paying Observe to do all this

Hmmm, there's an idea. Quick Observe, set up a paypal account! These people are obviously desperate to get your mods. You could make a killing!

Observe, i just want to know, i love the ship, but, were you shaving when you came up with the design, looks like i could shave with it : P, which is probably what i need to do

, Cant wait tell the mod comes out though keep up the good work!!!

danielhumphries50 · Post by **danielhumphries50** » Fri, 23. Mar 07, 09:34

yes i suppose i have to be greatful but i was looking forward to getting it and when i come home and the links don't work i just get rather annoyed but ok he hasn't had chance to fix it thats ok everyone has problems once in a while just a shame it had to be now

jackleonfraust · Post by **jackleonfraust** » Fri, 23. Mar 07, 14:59

you mean observe doesn't have a donations jar???

wonder what he's working on nowadays...

danielhumphries50 · Post by **danielhumphries50** » Fri, 23. Mar 07, 20:42
