Ship Maneuvers

[Captain Kwok]

I've been playing Star Fury again recently and after watching my victims roll over and explode over and over again, it hit me.

There should be a couple of hot key moves that initiate special maneuvers. For example, one such move could be a full stop and 360° rotation. Or perhaps a full loop and roll. Just some helpful but cool moves to spice things up.

I'm pretty sure that Aaron will eventually get to a final patch for this game, after all I think cloaking is still an important item that is needed in Star Fury.

Cloaking... *drool*

I think we need to email Aaron and see if he has managed to start on a new patch yet

But then perhaps he is too busy getting SEV up and running

I'd like to have ship to ship communications. Nothing fancy. Similar to the going to planet thing. When you get close enough to your target you get a green button that says Hail or comm or something like that. Then you press it and the game pauses and a pop-up window appears. The window could be like the site window with the ShipPortraitProfile_image.bmp as the site image. As options there could be something like rumors, trade cargo etc. that sort of thing. Rumors could be loaded from a rumors.txt which in layout could be similar to the events.txt

I think that wouldn't be so hard to do. And of course if the ship is enemy it can refuse to talk to you. Oh and also it would be nice if you could buy yourself out of crimes so to speak. Like when you're a hunted pirate you can go to terran planet and pay money. And then the officials will let you alone.

But most of all I miss the ability to talk to other ships.

You can do the ship thing right now; it'll work the same way as flying over to planets though, so they have no way to say "No" and you'll be set to zero throttle when you leave.

could freighters be modded so that they would be, in effect, a space station that moves? That would allow you to either attack it in a typical pirate move, or trade with it. If they didn't have space docks but did have the News service and perhaps a Merchant Contact for rumors. You could, possibly, even have individual missions from a speific ship.

"We need an escort through this system. We'll pay you 5,000 to keep us alive."

Can you have specific missions for specific locations?

[DeadZone]

Yes you can

In fact in the peoples mod, that is what we have done with the Human Alliance Flagship
