Space travel, Starship Combat, and Ship Customizing !


Now get a ship !

Only three models for now.

- F-Com Raider (Starfighter) [released]
- DragonFly 29B [Shuttle] [Released]
- SunBurner C-80 (Cargo Ship) [Not yet Released]


There's a new item, called "user". It will be needed to enter a ship.

The room avaiable onboard depends the ship.
Starfighter --> 3
Shuttle --> 10
Cargo Ship --> 50


How to pilot:

Go to the Ship's Command panel, and use it.
A conversation will appear.

Commands:

- Start engines (Only avaiable when the engines are stopped...) [Allows to take off]
- Stop engines (Only avaiable when the engines are started and the ship landed) [Saves your ears..]
- Open ramp (Only avaiable when the ship is landed) [Allows to enter the ship]
- Retract ramp (Only avaiable when the ramp is opened) [Nobody will be able to enter the ship]
- Take off (Only avaiable when the engines are started) [Leave the ground and cheer to the sky !]
- Land (Only avaiable when you are in the atmosphere of a planet or near a capital ship or space station) [Allows to land..]
- Pilot (Only avaiable when you are not landed) [Allows you to get back to the commands)

Details:

When you take off, you will appear as your ship, in the atmosphere of the planet you're leaving, or the vicinity of a capital ship, or space station. Your equipment has been transfered until your return to the cockpit.
In your inventory, you will find an item called "Back to the cockpit".
This item allows you to get back to the cockpit, use it to return.
Your equipment will be retransfered to your own.
(DON'T MOVE UNTIL THE WHOLE EQUIPMENT IS BACK OR IT WILL BE LOST !!!!)

Be carefull, your ship is still vulnerable, and imobilized while nobody is at the commands.

Use the directional keys to move your ship. (forward, back, left, right)

Everyone in the ship may take the commands.
When the ship is flying and there's no one in the pilot's seat, the "pilot" option is avaiable on the Ship's Command panel.
It will allow the user to take back the commands.
The user will appear to the last location of the ship.

(When nobody pilot the ship, a copy waits where your ship is located.
And may be attacked as well.)

Leaving the atmosphere, you'll appear near the planet you've left.
Simply go to the edges of the area to access to the Space Map.

Move as you want on the space map.
You will find planets, asteroid fields, space stations, capital ships (like the USS WidowMaker !), and so on.
Be carefull when you travel , you may encounter some random experiences...bad ones.
When approaching a specific location, or trapped in a random ambush, the map will change and transports you to a detailled area.
(Random areas for random ambushes ).

If your ship is destroyed ...well ...your friends in it will also be destroyed.

To land, access to the atmosphere, or the vicinity of a CS or SS, and get back to the Ship's Command panel.
Select "land".
If there's a landing zone avaiable, ...welcome back to the ground !

SPACE COMBAT

HULL

All spaceships have one base attribute : Hull Points. (SHP)
The value depends the ship.

A DragonFly 29-B starts with 150 SHP for example.

You may increase this value adding armored stuff to your ship.

When you take damages, your ship's hull points are lowered.

Depending your Hull Points state, your ship will encounter some experiences...
Like engines damage, fires starting into the ship, and so on...

When your SHP go to 0, you simply explode as your friends aboard.


SHIELD

You may equip your ship with a Deflector Shield. (DS)
This DS will give to your ship its second attribute: Shield Points (SSP).

The value depends the DS.

In order to use your shield, place it into the Ship's Equipment Storage, and go to the NavCom. Choose "Shield ON".
You're done.

An ennemy has to take down your SSP to 0 in order to damage your SHP.


Asteroids and other stellar objects damage your SHP, even wether you've got a DS or not.


STATUS

In order to check your ship's status, you will needed to check at your NavCom.
As you can't do that when piloting, a copilot friend is very usefull !
Anyway, you'll see visual effects on your ship thus you'll know in which state your ship is.


REPAIR

Your friends aboard may repair the internal damages the ship took.
Mechanics is used as the skill to do that.
They also may extinguish fires when the ship's burning

Keep an eye on the engines, if they blow, the entire ship will also blow up.

When piloting, you can access to a Repair Ship, to start automatic repairs on your ship.
The cost depends your SHP level.

If your ship is equiped with a Repair Module, you may repair other ships.

When the ship's landed, you are able to repair it to a Ship Repair Tool Station. (SRTS)

WEAPONS

Weapons have two attributes:
Hull Damage (HD)
Shield Damage (SD)

In the weapon's description, you'll find these two values as follow:

Example:
SKD 30mm

HD 1-30
SD 1-15

Balistic weapons and HE Missiles give more damages to the Hull.
Ion weapons and EMP Missiles give more to the Shield.

Ships have weapon slots, depends the type.
Starfighter -> 1
Shuttle -> 2
Cargo -> 4

Load your weapons and ammo into the Weapon Storages.

When piloting, you'll have the choice to switch between your weapon slots to select one.
