It looks like a Nasa font. And I agree with spidernl but would add that I don't like the name, or any of the names in the poll.

I used Starlight a few months ago. 4 months ago it was working.

I would love to be able to log in using MSN / AIM / Yahoo, a lot of phones have them on it too. I think it would be great to get people connected and invite new friends. Not to mention you can do voice chat also. I think it would be an extremely positive aspect to add.

Good job man. Love the progress!

I use Avast and I have used SpyBot in the past. Avast has never given me a problem, although when avast had a recent update a month or so ago it did give me a warning when opening continuum. Still not an issue because I could still run it.

Check out this topic. http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?t=8868 This forum is a lot more active then mgb, so I thought I would open it up for more discussion here.

You smoke too much or just have a terrible memory. Unless when you say the whole time you mean since a few months back when I first moved. Don't you remember anything!? haha

I am always planning something cool, and tri-sector is pretty cool as well! Down side: I lost "my" internet connection, pfft neighbors ... pfft password. LAME! Anyway, either way, my cool plans wont come together until mid-late fall. I've been extremely busy with working during the week, and more busy having a life on the weekends. Thanks again Lynx, the server is back up, I was unable to get to a computer with internet, but someone started it up at least. Had a fun game last night when I went to my sisters house. It looked fun anyway, I was kinda busy with my niece and her friend whos b-day it was. Really wish I had the time, but life comes first. Soon enough my friends! Fun times will come back.

Haha... no comment... I was thinking about what I would like to see in the promo video: So that there are players around to meet and kill, but also make squads with, or team up with. So some damn trash talking in the chat and some follow ups! Make it interesting. Some short clips events: "Play hundreds of events!" then show clips, Elim, Deathmath, then get into some crazy stuff, eg monopoly/chess, tws 3d bomber man arenas. Basically show all the possibilities of the game as of now, and then bring in the fact that its a player run community, and you can build your own zone and import your own sounds / graphics. I mean really.. This game is not longer attractive to ... anyone ... I was about to say except for the past and current players, but not even that's true. The population is slim and none, more spectators and more staff and more bots then there are players.

I agree the video doesn't show much, I think I saw TW and Hyperspace, and I didn't see any ships that were not the original. Here's what I meant, nearly every zone revolves around a goal, and that goal is to win and at some point you'll be blowing up spaceships. Its the most relevant part of our game, and the diversity comes in on how you blow up those space ships. In every style zone, other then maybe hockey zone, you'll be either blowing up ships while playing the event or dog fighting. Maybe just through some better clips in there for example: Show someone getting chased and taking fire, and then they lay a portal and warp behind their enemy and kill them. Show more diversity in the graphics other then what comes standard (which are over a decade old). And to be honest, I think the epic music made the game feel a lot more exciting then it really is. Almost made me want to go play it! And again, nice start with the video. I have some in-game clips on my computer if you're interested. Instead of just saying the video sucks, why not put up some valid responses with some positive feedback. When someone looks at something, then just says "Hey that sucks, what you're doing sucks, and everything about it sucks." Its a little discouraging. If you think it sucks, why not make what you think would be better. Lead by example, not with a negative attitude. (directed to all the Negative Nancy people)

Free Entertainment! On another note, awesome start with the video. The best thing avast said was: That is the point of the game, and how its done is what makes it fun. How many zones have you seen where the point wasn't to kill? Then ask yourself how many of those zones are / were popular. Anyway, I'd like to see the finished product when its ready.

LOL!!! Yeah, I was beating up Avihay during testing with it. Its fun to rocket attack with it.

That sounds crazy... Is that what the programmer said, or is that something as the way you think its done. I can see triggering the menu when a player enters the safe zone, because there is a callback for that. And even using the ctrl (fire) button to select items in the menu. But I couldn't see tracking which way a player moves for a simple menu, its doesn't doesn't make sense to me anway. I'm wondering how the menu changes colors. I would guess all the text is are lvz server controlled screen objects? Unless like I was wondering if someone could use something like the F1 menu and move it to the center of the screen, seems possible to me. Sorry if I bring up anything already solved, the topic was interesting, but I too lazy to read all the replies. Pretty cool video.

ASSS can record player packets, when the lap is started, it starts recording the game, then when the lap is completed, it stops recording, and plays the recorded game I'm not 100% on what they are doing for the transparent effect, unless they just move an image with the ships movement, which is not ideal and uses a lot of bandwidth. So I am thinking that lancaster is the fake ship playing the game recording forced as another ship using the overlay. I bet I know how the game menu is created also. Remove the chat, and add commands like ?up and ?down and ?select Unless... Not sure if its possible to modify the right functions to capture page up and page down, like it F2 menu. And use the ctrl button that you can also use in the F2 menu to select the target.

I agree with this, I think there are two solutions to this. A) Decrease the speed of the bullets Decrease the bullet fire delay Again this is something I agree with and I will tweak it some more for future discussion. Not sure of time frame of this post and my changes, but I did downgrade the bullets slightly, but I didn't want to make too many changes before listening to people. Ship 2 is back to is old self with the correct level 1 bombs, the upgraded weapons was a module problem. Ship 5 I am happy with, but I think I might make it faster - Any thoughts? Glad you like ship 7, and the others, I think it will change the game play up and create some diverse ship usage during the flag games.

The ships have been under going some changes recently, and I have brought those changes into the public arena for testing. Ship 1 is the same Ship 2 is reverted back to level 1 bombs (the level changes in a lot of the ships was an issue that finally got our attention). Ship 3 is the same, and may need some final tweaks. Ship 4 now has level 4 bombs, its quite deadly, but without much speed its a sitting duck. Try to get someone to play ship 8 so you can attach and guard the flags, or snipe from safety. Ship 5 has been taking down, it was over powered although still having the lowest about of energy, now its still fast, but not as deadly. Ship 6 has been turned into a turret style ship with limited mobility. I recommend having someone has ship 8 on your team. It has very rapid fire level 1 bullets, its sure to put a stop to rushers. Ship 7 now has a level 4 bullet, but I wouldn't use it unless you know you can kill the target. Its basically a fun ship that can lay lots of mines, and can repel other mines away. It can shot many level 2 bombs, which I have to say looks really pretty in game! Ship 8 is very hard to kill, and if you don't think you can kill with it, let me teach you how to rush with it. Time your attack when you've just dodged your enemies gun fire, then rocket in and counter while holding the fire buttons, and your slow be rapid fire gun will eliminate the target. Now, on the down side, its not super fast, its not meant to be a killing machine, its the only ship that can be attached to, and is a very good ship to have while team flagging. With that said, I hope we can get a couple decent games going on. Perhaps a signup and a planned date? Your thoughts are wanted, Thanks.

http://www.ssvfx.com/ broken, is there another?

I heard Lynx already did a ton of coding towards an android app, get together

Here... I just added to Jab's shield. I think its a little better for an icon

I think this topic is the forums way of trolling the troll

Is this guy for real? I'm not sure if he's just trying to make himself look stupid, or he truly is special ed.

Just reaching out to the players to find out what they would like to see implemented into the game. I'm looking more towards whole events, but small ideas that can be incorporated into an event are welcome. I am mainly looking for ideas that would work best around low population. Even 1 player events, and co-op 2-4 player events will be interesting to see. Try to include as many details as possible and think about this: 1. How does the event start? 2. What happens at the start of the event. 3. What happens during the event, what are the goals / objectives and the game play like. 4. What happens at the end of the event. On a final note, lets try to stay on topic here!

Not a terrible idea, but I think advertising this game would really seem like a joke to the public outsiders. I mean, .. "Log on to the longest running online game ever! ITS GOT 2D GRAPHICS!! and 8 bit sound effects! The client hasn't been updated in over 5 years and the fun just never stops!" You could sugar coat it anyway you like, bottom line is, it would be a waste of time, money, and effort considering the state of things.
