Hi everybody. After dabbling around with approximately 15 different themes I liked the old one best and rolled back to that theme. It doesn’t support advanced menus, but this is a much simpler site than e.g. http://riftroamers.net, where my own Sci-Fi RPG resides and probably doesn’t need all that fancy blinky-blink stuff at all.

If you wish to comment on the site-design, please feel free to do so, but I am quite content atm.

Theme variants I recently tried:

And last but not least the old new scheme…

I think now I can concentrate on creating illustrations for Traveller again, instead of redesigning the website. Hope you like and agree…

Cheers, Mirco

The video plot is as follows (text edited):

The trader comes out of jump space, streaking toward a barren planet.  There is a cliff side industrial looking facility, it lands on a platform overhanging the chasm.  We switch to live action video showing a fire fight with the party.  We show the ship taking off from the platform, the facility exploding behind it.  As it tries to reach orbit, two Rampart class fighters harass it.  That’s no problem for the Lone Lady, she makes quick work of them using her turrets…

She’s made orbit, and she’s almost home free.  That’s when the two system defense boats come over the horizon of the planet.  The DBs are moving at flank speed, their turrets slew and begin firing on our Empress Marava as the missile bays open.  The Marava is now desperate to make the 100 diameter limit, it’s popping sand casters, performing evasive maneuvers.  The SDBs launch wave after wave of missiles. The Marava engages in Point defense, but there are just too many missiles.  They get closer and closer and at the very last possible minute, the ship makes jump…

Scale of the project:

The distribution on this is private.  After securing the rights to build the actual game, we would be interested in sitting down and talking with you about utilizing some of your models for animation purposes (not as part of the game per se).  The distribution would be start in the US and grow to world wide.  The intended audience is between 60,000 and 120,000 people.

[…] We are particularly intersted in Far Trader Lone Lady.  (She’s a sharp looking lady!)  We would like the model with the textures.  We’d need it in C4D or OBJ + MTI format.

 :HEADER Close Escort Gazelle EC-DU55, TL 14, 400 tons, MCr 275.4
 
 :COMMENTS

The Gazelle-class close escort is built using a 400-ton hull with an unstreamlined configuration. It is fitted with an IDC FarDrive jump unit, Model 16 impulse maneuver drives, and a Triptic Halonic Fusion Pair power plant, and is capable of Jump 5 and 5Gs maneuver. It carries fuel tankage for one jump-2 and three months of operations. To this basic package is added a pair of disposable 60-ton fuel pods to provide the total fuel necessary for jump-5. However, with these tanks installed, the ship tonnage is increased to 500 tons, which reduces the ship’s performance to 4-G and jump-4. The tanks may be dropped to allow the higher performance, but the ship then becomes restricted by its lower fuel supply until the tanks are replaced. The ship has fuel scoops and a purification plant, and can refuel by skimming gas giants. 

Close Escort WIP 04

The standard bridge has a Model/6 computer installed and the ship has four hardpoints. Two of the hardpoints allocate five tons each, which allows the installation of particle accelerator barbettes if desired. The remaining two hardpoints sport triple laser turrets. The ship hull is heavily armored. 

The ship has four officer staterooms, eight spacer niches, and a squad barracks. A 20-ton gig, itself armed with a laser mount, is slung beneath the ship, with interlocking hatches provided. The gig is capable of 6-G and carries six acceleration couches and three emergency low berths. It can also carry two tons of cargo.
