This argument is an interesting side attraction.

On a side note. All of my ships use a system for their names so that I can Identify them in the file list when loading and sorting them.

It goes like this
Faction Acronym: ID Number: Ship Name

If you want to call out a ship for any reason, you can use the "Ship Name". It is not necessary to note the Faction Acronym or ID Number.

Beginning work on a firing animation for Doogie2's "ASM-18 'Breath of Life' Mobile Orbital Artillery". Going with a primary beam cannon supported by projectile weapons. It will change form when aiming, firing, and reloading. this should be fairly easy since most doodads are actually 1 HP sections. ETA: 1 - 2 days, depending on real life things. Unlike the ship interior project, it should actually be finished on time.

The next installment for the shipmaker handbook is almost done (a few days away). It is the weapon parameters. Should I list them in alphabetical order or the order that they are seen in the shipmaker?

Zalausai Edit: maybe it is time to change my title since there hasn't been any tutorial requests lately. I have a good understanding of triggers and actually use them in some of my ships. Should it be changed to Trigger Animator or something?

Open to comments, even though this is a blog thread.

Currently moving 120 miles from where I used to live. I won't be able to upload any more ships until internet is established at the new place. I also won't be able to try the bubbleshield release until internet is established.
All I can do until then is comment on threads via smartphone.

Damn it.

While the bubbleshield looks great, the timing couldn't be worse. Lol.

[Necrontyr1998]

Don't worry, we'll make sure nobody declares war on HG lol!

Apparently my new apartment will have to be rewired in order to get internet. This means synchronization between the cable company, apartment management, and myself. It should take two weeks to a month.
Personally, I think its all bullshit, but it's free so whatever.
I will continue working on the elements of discord in the meantime.

I will also use a flash drive to upload the ships and get the new update.

Sadly, this means more delays.
Damnit, just. . . Damnit.

[Zalausai]

Finally got internet. Now I can finish Disjunction, upload the sprites, and check on the bubbleshield release update.
Apparently, there is a newbie here as well. If only they would read the documentation posts.

[Necrontyr1998]

Hazzah!
And I don't mean to be a pest but I do still need a second opinion of my Novians :p

[Zalausai]

I can critique their appearance, but balance testing is only available against the old HLB ships.
Let me know what you want me to look at.

[Necrontyr1998]

It doesn't have to be against your ships if they are unbalanced, You can use any faction you want.

[Doogie12]

Eventually, I'll pit them against the Ashtic. But I've been busy (work and girlfriend).

[Zalausai]

I will test them against a faction that is on the balanced list later this evening or tomorrow. However, they must be compatible with the old fighterbay release. I would like to not deal with the bubbleshield update until it has the rest of the reported bugs worked out.

[Necrontyr1998]

I agree, all ships are fighterbay enabled. Ty

[Zalausai]

Note to self, to do: No specific order.

Complete and release "Disjunction".

Start "Emnity" and test the new "Accretion Disc" weapon concept setup for operational errors.
"Accretion Disc" Personal Reference, so I don't forget.
1rcw dsc - 3rccw nds / 1c wep - 1c wep ndsc (3) - 3e wep 60^ int ndsc / 1 hv ls - 3 mv ls - 9 mg ls

Test Necrontyr's Novian faction against another faction from the "balanced" faction list.
