Create a Planet and Invade Others V4: The Galactic Empires - General

[QUOTE=pyroman15;32737514][URL=http://imgur.com/S9cNb][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/S9cNb.png[/IMG][/URL] Inamorta and Zenthon have created six more ships to share, and one ship has gone to Berutaurus to negotiate an alliance. Going offline, be back tommorow.[/QUOTE] [I]You intercept a message from the Berutarians[/I] "Hmm...using old Confederation technology I see. You're lucky that those ships were far worse then our current ones, or you'd be in a lot of trouble. Still, you probably bought it off of the black market. Can't blame you, spare metals are in a shortage right now. Way cheaper to buy old stuff. So greetings. It's always good to be in a new solar system. How is the species of Inamorta doing? Last I checked, you were with the GTU correct? I don't know much about them. They're still quarreling with the NGA. Galacians and Confeds want no part of it. What are you folks doing out here anyways?"

[IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/n35yk38.PNG[/IMG] The arians have begun repairs on the world. as well, the terraformer has been hooked into a ship and is now re - adding water. good night guys!

[img]http://yourimg.in/m/g1h444i.png[/img] a new planet materialises from some other part of the galaxy, a ruined husk of a world filled with fire are rare minerals, from within the planet an encoded distress call can be detected, [b]the message[/b] [i]this is mining bastion FyreFall, code 1198422, we are in urgent need of assistance, there was something within the plantes core, it's taken over the machenery and has powered down the planetary shield, it's is attempting to create a temporal rift, we think it's trying to pull the whole planet through, and without the shield the solar flares will destroy everything, homeworld please respond![/i]

declare [editline]12th October 2011[/editline] [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/3j73np0.PNG[/IMG] The arians respond to the distress call "we are on our way. please find safety within the planet and declare yourselves when our troopers land, we will help you restore operation to your machinery" after all, the arians are very good with machinery and resourcefulness. meanwhile, the terraformer has almost finished terraforming the water in the main part of the planet.

Declare.

declare after pyro. im working on a high def fleet update for arian. looks pretty fuckin sweet if i do say so myself, THANKS BANANA FOR THE TECHNIQUES!

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FRTTJ.png[/IMG] Inamorta and Zenthon have sent ships (including 2 new ones from Zenthon) to FyreFall to help, being crafty with technology and all. Meanwhile, the ship next to Berutarus responds with the following message: [release] "Inamorta is doing great thanks to us Zenthonians. We have created an alliance with them and Asteroid 1-456. We still ask for an alliance with you if you wish." [/release] Also, Zenthon has sent seeral small ships to Exari to ask to build colonies on the planet, and will help tetra-form the planet if they accept.

Declare Yeah, nevermind about that.

nanb i declared first. please wait your turn. [editline]12th October 2011[/editline] alright, pyro and banana, take a look at my new high def ships! [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/bvwrzn0.PNG[/IMG] The Arians have discovered the wonders of advanced textures! all arian ships have been upgraded to a higher quality of ship. hey guys, if i screwed something up in the merge, just let me know and i will fix it. and all credit to banana for helping me get higher def ships.

They look a lot fancier. [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/d4n16za.png[/IMG] The Berutarian Confederation sends a frigate to Fyrefall's aid. Meanwhile, something mysterious leaps into orbit. Could it be... Yes! Yes it is! It appears to be the remains of the Bio-Organism that consumed Galacius Centurie 12 along time ago! It appears to be on course to Astriod 1-456! If it reaches it, the Galaxy could be in grave danger! Oh, and they've also installed some new orbital defense platforms.

just a content update for all who responded to the distress call of fyrefall [i]orbiting fyrefall, your systems register that this distress call is thousands of years old, set on a perpetual loop. the final message of a dying world doomed to repeat through the ages with no hope of salvation. your instuments detect that much of the worlds technology is still functioning, the warp drive is still powering down. but what caused the warp drive to activate after all that time? and more importantly, what managed to destory a whole world in moments?[/i] well now you have mystery as well as diplomacy and space ships ;)

Bah, I'm bored so I might as well play along Declare

declare, making the image for the text below. *planet-breaker 2 come's within range of berutarus* "this is planet-breaker 2. please lower your defencive shields so that we may land and negotiate lasting peace." [editline]12th October 2011[/editline] ill wait for joshjet to finish his update before i make that picture.

further update on fyrefall [i]the distress call plays again, your onboard computers skip a beat, and for an instant they register something within the base code of the distress call, but as soon as it came it's gone. stranger still, your instruments seem to be saying that the entire planet is a sentient life form, but that can't possible be correct. something isn't right about this planet, but the technology is extremely advanced, despite being ancient, and the planet is full of ritch titanium deposits[/i]

Whoa...glad to see that this thread didn't die while I was gone, Zombie's back to too, this just gets better. [sp]I bet I've jinxed this and the thread dies next week :P[/sp] [QUOTE=BananaFoam;32737348] [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/aw0sii9.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE] BananaFoam I commend you on making this tutorial. While I won't necessarily use it as most of my spaceship are abstract in design (Erebus' were floating prisms) I'm sure many people found/will find it useful. [QUOTE=Zombie_2371;32749909][IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/bvwrzn0.PNG[/IMG][/QUOTE] Zombie I see you've managed to improve your ships from the first create a planet thread. However I will say that your windows on the bridge of the ship looks rather dull. I've taken one of ships and edited it slightly to show what I mean. [IMG]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8210/highlightexample.png[/IMG] The top is your ship with a dull blob of colour that represents its big front window. While this is fine with smaller windows because there isn't much space for detail so your brain doesn't realise that it isn't realistic. However the the window on the bridge is quite large in proportion to the others it just sort of looks boring. Below it is my edit, where the window has been given a highlight. Bananafoam talked about light direction right? Well when glass (its glass right?) is hit by light, some of it is reflected which gives it the highlight. Essentially I've made some of the window lighter on the ship to show where light has reflected. I hope this piece of C&C was useful to you Zombie (anyone else too) and sorry if I rambled on a bit, I have a tendency to do that.

thank you. nice to see people missed me. to be honest, i kinda just let it die because it became too much of a clusterfuck to really do anything creative. now its starting off fresh in v4 with not very many people, which allows for more creativity. and thanks for that window design thing, i probably will add that. which planet breaker do you like better? [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/1ss8tql.PNG[/IMG] or this one [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/5qo7vxj.PNG[/IMG]

[img]http://yourimg.in/m/o6oe2k0.png[/img] The planet Poseidon re-appears! Now with DETAIL! Here's my old info, just copy pasted: The planet Poseidon appears, with its small moon. Poseidon is a planet mostly of water, containing 3 major landmasses. Due to the unavailability of coal, they have developed advanced solar panels, but to provide power to the planet, there are massive solar farms everywhere. They have just discovered microfustion tech, and the planetary government is in process of replacing their solar farms. EDIT: Crap, forgot to add the name. Could the next person to edit add it?

I've just noticed that I seem to sparked off the idea of having planets return from previous threads as remains. 5 of the 12 planets happen to have debuted in previous threads. [QUOTE=Zombie_2371;32751816]which planet breaker do you like better? [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/1ss8tql.PNG[/IMG] or this one [IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/5qo7vxj.PNG[/IMG][/QUOTE] I don't know if its just the fact that I was here when you first made the Planet breaker (its based off the big flagship isn't it?) but I prefer the old one. It just looks more imposing what, with the big red laser and giant rudder. [QUOTE=joshjet;32751853][img]http://yourimg.in/m/o6oe2k0.png[/img] The planet Poseidon re-appears! Now with DETAIL! [/QUOTE] Oi you! I'm the one that has planets with Greek names!! [sp]Nah I'm only kidding you keep the name if you want :P[/sp]

[IMG]http://yourimg.in/m/r994utw.PNG[/IMG] *planet-breaker 2 come's within range of berutarus* "this is planet-breaker 2. please lower your defencive shields so that we may land and negotiate lasting peace." [editline]12th October 2011[/editline] oh, and i decided on a design that let me keep the big red lazer, and not have a big fin at the top. btw the big fin was supposed to be a command deck thing, but it looked real ugly and i hated it. oh, and i added a nice reflective-ness to the glass pieces that mattered, thanks man! and yes, the planet-breaker is based off the old flagship. i just hated the name of flagship, due to the fact that i had multiple of them. if i get a flagship, there will only be one of them. i am thinking the other model of planet-breaker to become a massive civilian transit ship, your thoughts?

Well while I'm here I might as well [b]Declare[/b]

Whoops! plasma, i forgot to add one pixel to the ship. could you possibly add a pixel that is the same colour as the outline of the ship to below the red floating dot above my three ships? thanks!

i'll declare after gamma plasma :)

[IMG]http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/8006/createaplanetfacepunchd.png[/IMG] The planet Nyx lowers it output, slightly dimming the planet's natural light that is generated while the 3 spheres it deployed have activated changing them from their lackluster colour of black to a vibrant white. One more sphere and 2 new strange looking ships are sent out, bearing the same dreary colour that all the ship have when first summoned. Of concern is the fact that with this change of events, the magnetic storm residing over the sun has gotten worse with more sunspots on its surface. Meanwhile Erebus has received the repair materials from Inamorta. The language module is reinstalled allowing its already fragile CPU to at least function diplomatically. It sends a message saying [code]To Inamorta While unable to access basic archives, I believe the term is thank you. I do not know what the word alliance means as dictionary access is corrupted and currently being reinstalled. However your planet does come up in some areas of my CPU. I will look into it further. Erebus clone pod communications link terminated[/code] Erebus has now begun repairing itself while the clone pod transform into a satellite cannon from the Late planet Syria (satellite cannon made by rovar in create a planet thread 3) to better defend the planet itself. [i]The repairs on Erebus will take 5 declares + 1 declare for the moon[/i] Both Erebus and Nyx remark in a short exchange that many planets of the past have reappeared in this area. Perhaps on purpose they slip out of the encoded message the fragment "Let the plan resume..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low and behold-I've fixed some of the mistakes that you people made Joshjet-added in your old planets name Zombie-Added in the planet breakers missing pixels. Anymore errors? Get the next loser who declares to fix them for you! :v: [QUOTE=Zombie_2371;32752173] oh, and i decided on a design that let me keep the big red lazer, and not have a big fin at the top. btw the big fin was supposed to be a command deck thing, but it looked real ugly and i hated it. oh, and i added a nice reflective-ness to the glass pieces that mattered, thanks man! and yes, the planet-breaker is based off the old flagship. i just hated the name of flagship, due to the fact that i had multiple of them. if i get a flagship, there will only be one of them. i am thinking the other model of planet-breaker to become a massive civilian transit ship, your thoughts?[/QUOTE] I always wondered what the fin on the flagship was for, your right it was ugly. I like the new improved fin though. Nice to see you kept the laser as well. As for the other model I think that's a great idea since it just looks more passive rather than aggressive so would fit the role well here as transport. ------------------------------------------------------------- Oh dear I appeared to have rambled on quite a bit there... Tomtyke away you go!

thanks man, and yeah. i think it would do best as a civilian transport. all in good time though!

[img]http://yourimg.in/m/17yha6x.png[/img] a fleet of ships appears, made of titanium and showing no life signs aboard, the cruiser (the big one) begins to charge it's weaponry [i]the distress call rings out again, this time your onboard computers register the threat fully, there's something buried deep within the call, and it's attempting to take control of your navigational systems and plot a crash course into the heart of fyrefall[/i] you can get your ships away if you want

harhar! i see wut you did thar. anyways, my ships are far enough from the planet are they not? oh, and gamma, i am thinking about making the cockpit there just a tad bigger, it kinda looks small for such a big ship, but then again a big one looks terrible on it. eh, ill leave it the way it is for now :P

Guys, i've been working on a ship using BananaFoam's tutorial. Be completely honest about what you think of it. Here it is: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3wpTn.png[/IMG] What do you guys think?

[QUOTE=Zombie_2371;32753611]harhar! i see wut you did thar. anyways, my ships are far enough from the planet are they not? oh, and gamma, i am thinking about making the cockpit there just a tad bigger, it kinda looks small for such a big ship, but then again a big one looks terrible on it. eh, ill leave it the way it is for now :P[/QUOTE] yes your ships are safe, only those who responded to the distress call are in danger, for now that is

pyroman, it looks ok, but i think the parts need to be connected together better, or else it sorta looks like a retarded leef since its green. make it blue or somethin and it would look better. also it looks a bit curvy. i would make it more geometrical than freeform, but its your ship :p

Aw crap, declare! Crap, undeclare, but don't mess with my fleet. I'm going to bed.
