a real expansion pack
Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:11 am
after an extensive testing of the game and his mods (a real extensive one ) i can tell that one of the best ones are Ramirez mission Resistance Commander (wich didnt worked on my own pc ((toshiba nb 105 running ubuntu natty narwhal)) and that gave me light on an idea
WHAT SHOULD HAVE A REAL EXPANSION PACK?
i mean, something that can change the name of Oolite to OOlite : INSERT EXPANSION PACK NAME HERE using the capability that already have the game engine and taking some of the user developed mods released under GNU ... here is my list of wishes for that
Player Interaction
im not talking of multiplayer (yet) just giving more taste to the game giving the player a native suport to interact with other npc commanders hire'em or simply winning his friendship saving them from a bunch of rudecrap pirates (that would also create your own enemys on the game) even giving you the chance to form a fleet and encounter other fleets or pirate fleets or simply a fleet who dedicates to trade and chill over the galaxy you know with tanker ships with fuel and a limitated ammo refill and the already existing cruiser, freighter and fighter class ships the npc's would be encountered in random ships that could be oxp ones that would be random as the fact of encounter ships in planet's shipyards
Profesions
joining the Galcolp or annother factions would join you in their ranks starting to patrol and then commanding a entire search party for SOSed ships in danger would give the game a little more sence and like that any other thing
Storyline
or a excuse to it at least "someone is bad and hsomeone is good" a objetive to the game would be nice coe on we are not in the 88's and this game engine is not the same of the first release so come on!
Multiplayer
dont fall in bethesda hole of exctremately good games without this simple feature and in this game isnt much to ask because you dont have to share a lot of data between clients it just need an oxp scanner that seeks that the hoster and the player or players has the same mods
BULLETS
i will not say that i am not a weapon speciallist cause i am... bullets can be filled with chemicals or some kind of gaseose that can explode without oxigen and in much cases they are more powerfull than normal powder it is the case in much of the .50AE cartridges
Engine modifications
things that would give you more pich or trust or a extra bit of trust and speed would add more customization to the ship and it is not hard to code for an expert
Graphics
i know this is a free game but you can ask permission to the neolite creator and add them in the game release for gods sake a few extre polygons would not kill anyone if this crappy pc can run them even with shaders any pc can crappyer as they can be come on!
also
you can play games like ACE online or Ace combat (specially the 3rd installment) and take some elements of their hud's also an interesting element from a totally different game wich is armored core could be taken and it is force cooling it consist in a energy taking feature that accelerates the cooling of a certain part (lasers) you can add different kinds of cooling devices to ad more customization to the game
ill not say stoopid requests like adding decals and things like that to the game cause it would mean lag but ill say that you can add different kinds of huds accesable as items i mean you can buy a certain hud from the shop or youu can call it operative system
HALF OF THE WORK IS DONE
by looking on the mods database you can tell that im sure the modders would be very happy that the technology they developed would be included in the game as a release
and to end with this and to gain some respect of you my fellow hard ass commanders i know of what im talking im a informatics student and im learning how to program and things like that also im trying to make a graphic design degree and my goal is to become a game developer also i have a Emagazine in blog format zandatsu.blogspot.com it has almost 30k views and we only added adds a month ago or so i have reviewed and play a lot of games, if you include this to oolite it would kick maaaneeey assessess in the gaming world im sure ill give advertising to this wonderfull game if this occurs
