a new, different MOD????

Yep...it's me again. Since I first came to Lancer'sReactor way back in the days of StarLancer, One thing has ALWAYS stood out...the awesome amount of brain power associated with this site. I admit freely and openly that you guys/gals who come out with these Mods have GOT to have super-powered brain cells. Here's a thought from a simpleton, what about a mod where you re-interact with some of the other main charactors of the story line, ie Juni calls you for some mission (random of course) you meet her on/at such and such base/planet, discuss the "mission". Personally, I think something like this would greatly enhance the gameplay for us SP players beyond the original storyline. Any other thoughts on something like this????

thats funny... I'm actually working on something like that... I am in the works of a "gatekeeper" mod. This mod uses the pink heavenly unknown nomad world as a source system for a multitude of jump gates leading to different bases and planets around the univers. The gates also include a gate to the Unknown system with Planet Gammu and Planet Primus as well as another gate to Omicron Major (the outside of the dyson's sphere). I also modified the "unknown planet" in omicron major to be dockable. Each planet (gammu, primus and the "Unknown Planet" which I called Oxyllic Terra Minor) has commodities that you cannot buy or loot anywhere in the entire universe. Also, since these are essentially alien planets, nomad equipment is also for sale... this includes the weapons and nomad fighter ship. You can purchase the Nomad power cells, alien artifacts and alien organisms at any of the three. Yet the special commodities are sold uniquely at a specific base. There is about a dozen special commodities available at each planet.

As far as the storyline characters go? Well, after I made the planet dockable and all the alterations listed above, I still had no life on the planet other than my own. With soundspawns help I was able to find the file and add characters. I figured I'd try to make them nomad's, but after that didn't work I decided it'd be cool to have ozu, juni, jacobi, orillion, king etc... all hanging out in the same base. After I got that set up, I got bored of not having anything for them to say... almost no purpose. Therefore I kept going and made some new info points that they sell you. You can buy info on Planet's Gammu, Primus and Toledo. I'm going to add the secret unknown jump hole locations here as well. The other info they sell you has a high price tag, but will give you the coordinates of nearly EVERYTHING in the New York System. My next mission is to get them to assign the random freelancer missions.

I would guesstimate a week and a half. I am unsure just yet as I just purchased and installed a new cpu and everything is running hot. I installed an XP Barton 2800+, which is supposed to run cooler than my old thunderbird, but is not. So between intermitant heating problems and everything else going on with work, social life and home life... I haven't had much time to play with this mod since monday night. =\. I will keep going with it... not gunna give up on it, but I'm not looking forward to trying the whole assigning missions thing... hopefully its not as hard as I phear it is. I will probably look at this for a couple hours later tonight.

Here's some pix so far.

Just a thought but did you apply thermal grease, and if you did did you apply it right... It's Just a Thought don't go balastic on me.

Good Luck, but i think random missions will have your head in a roll, no one has ever created any random mission AFAIK.

Anyway still got an idea thou.

i think you must include the zone for vignettes in your system, cuz they have something to do with random missions, i think they are the locations on where to go.

Anyway still trying to figure it out. until then good luck with your i think cool Mod

All I do for LOVE
