=================================The events in this mod occur 10 years after the story of Freelancer. Not all of the Nomads were pulled through the Hyper Gate by Edison's work, in fact those events led to another group being awakened and consequently getting another shot at taking out the colonies. However this group is larger and more experienced than the previous ones awoken by Rheinland, and they're not happy about being separated from their brethren. About 5 Years ago: all the trade lane and jump-gate technology 'inexplicably' failed, however thanks to some breakthroughs by Ageria Technologies, Cruise drive speed has been increased to fill the gap left by the failure of the trade-lanes. They also developed a system to allow a cruise drive to be 'super charged' in close proximity to a star, allowing for long distance jumps between systems. While not as fast as jump-gates it helped to keep the colonies in contact. 4 Years ago: the relative peace shared between the colonies since the nomad infestation started to breakdown. The Kusari Empire annexed GMG and raised the export taxes to Bretonian space, raising the cost of vital H-fuel. Bretonia responded in kind cutting back on the raw resources they were exporting to assist in Kusari rebuilding. Once Liberty de-regulated Ageira Technologies' new cruise drive upgrades and shared the designs throughout the colonies Rheinland was no longer held back, and started flexing their muscle again. Focusing on moving their newly rebuilt fleet to gain a foothold in contested space. 3 Years ago: the first Corsair capital ships were seen. A large Bretonian military convoy carrying supplies and materials were ambushed by a Corsair fleet led by a cruiser of unknown design. The cruiser destroyed the escort gunboats with ease and raided the transport ships. Corsair raids become more frequent and daring requiring the houses to devote more resources into their military and police. 2 Years ago: Secretive 'Nomad Cults' have been on the rise, these Fanatics believe that the Nomads were the messengers of 'God' and that Edison is the Devil Incarnate who tried to stop mankind hearing their message. While they were thought to be a few harmless kooks at first, they have recently become quite aggressive and militant; and their insanity is quickly spreading. Current day: relations between factions has deteriorated even more. With increased military focus due to piracy and border disputes and the political situation quickly turning sour, all-out war could break out at any moment.=================================
I was having to remind myself those weren't Freelancer videos. Great job.
Hey winter, i was just wondering are you still working on this.
Alright thanks for the quick reply do you have any time frame for the next update
Currently working on getting the mod updated for the opt-in beta (1.83) and working out the research for the three currently playable factions
Loving the alpha! I know you are working out research for the three in game already, but have you been working on Kusari at all? I know your super busy, but I was just curious
Still lurking.
I haven't had as much time to work on this mod as I'd like, second child is a lot of work =PStill occasionally getting work done on it however.
Still, we lurk.
still I plod along lol
The plod thickens.
I really want to work out how to get 9 faction profile pics to show on the menu, I tried to figure it out but it gives me headaches lol
No kidding.
Is this still a happening thing?
Whew, finally making some progress getting things working in the latest patch.Hopefully will have some good stuff to share soon.
Great news is while the recent patches broke the currently released version of the mod, they heard my pleas and added in two fixes to the game I needed for things to work right.1: they made mobile starbases consider the starbase limit when travelling (it was hardcoded to not let them jump if you had a starbase in the target system) allowing the not-a-starbase Flagships move around properly.2: They made negative trade income work, meaning I can make the Flagships cost upkeep directly. Don't tank your economy by deploying too many high ranking officers! =PWill continue updating for the latest patch and release it asap, then get to work on getting Kusari in as well as tidying up a few things.
