i think this game is great however it lacks in talented creativity. here are some recommendations while i eat my sloppy joes:
1. please fix the joystick mapping problem.
2. put a 3rd person view in there for the space ships.
3. you should make the space stations as same as the planets. a whole 3d world to explore. infact every thing should be 3d realtime
4.please make the cockpit mode a little more realistic
5. the physics need alot of work.
6. we should have a first person view and 3rd person view when we are on planets walkin around doin our thing. also we gamers like to be unique, custom skins would be nice.
7. maybe some weapons too. i do like guns.
8. how easy is it to set up my own galaxy? can i make a space armada? can i conquor other worlds? universal war would be so kick ass.
9. the star drive thing with all the cute colors.......needs work.
10. just up the overall quality of your game and you will have one of the dopest games ever.
and if u need help please let me know i am pretty good in 3dmax.

hit F6 to switch between 1st, 3rd, and overhead view.
this viewchange can also be turned on/off on vehicles depending on what the world owner wants people to use.
7. maybe some weapons too. i do like guns.
this also depends on what world owners want to do with thier worlds.
biplaneworld, iridis, wings field, planitia, and battlezone all have weapons.
10. just up the overall quality of your game and you will have one of the dopest games ever.
quality as in graphics etc? all the sound, textures, and in-game graphics are mostly stuff made by players.
and if u need help please let me know i am pretty good in 3dmax.
if you want to, you can make models for the game. thiers not many restrictions and most of the current models were made by players. if you need a place to store them, i am always looking for models for my site (http://www.atractorguide.com)

Hush Jason. The Universal Isn't open source. He's gotta be on staff to fix it.(The Coding and internal models that is)JasonX wrote:Why dont you do it.SpAceMonk wrote:i think this game is great however it lacks in talented creativity. here are some recommendations while i eat my sloppy joes:

Anyways:
1. I'm sure thats on the To Do List.
2.Do you Mean Crows? Space? Planets? F6 Changes views on planets. As for space,you could request it. Crows are already in 3rd person.
3. Takes work. It is being run for free though it would be nice. You could request this also.
4.As in a more detailed cockpit? We had a bit more detailed cockpit in a couple or so versions but just went poof. Same thing with flying stars... *shrug*
5.Give the staff some booze and watch em gooo!
6.There is a first and third person view. Press F6 to change into them. Problem about induvuial custom models (Which I think your talking about) is A) Lag and B) Bandwith. These servers are run by players you know. Not some super Gaming server that can take 50+ connections at once
7.Reina Roja has pretty much all your weapon needs. Guns,Nades,Missles,Old School Bombs(Which make an old school sound
),etc. I just can't tell you which has what. That's part of the fun.8. Well from I heard it takes alot of work since the program isn't all friendly. But I quess it could be passible. Ask a world Owner. Space Armada? Like A Star System? If you donate a good sum of money (5$ and up I think),you can name your own star system. As for a galaxy...That won't happen anytime soon.
. Conquer other worlds? Well,On Reina Roja you can capture others buildings. It's basicly a planet type thing. As for Conquering,It won't be possible since there are few servers not to menision hard work going into them. Just stealing them (from paying Owners to note) would be like a possible feature request for a waaaay up there version number. like 3.59. But It's a Trip Ride! The Universal is wierd.Make a note of that. I think it's fine as it is.
10. woo!
Edit: Post delay,not me fault I type a bit slow.

Keyboard works fine 2. You can always look at other ships
3. That'd be good... and it would need to involve something to do with being able to dock and take them over!!
4. Theres a cockpit mode?!?!
5. But lame physics are fun
6. Already exists.. press f6, You want custom skins? go to *theuniversalfolder*/clients/data/textures/ and edit to ur hearts content
7. Theres lots of weapons in the game ---> Reina Roja
8. Yep, I'd like conquerting galaxies and planets and space stations too... though I doubt it will be implemented.. and if it will [or a form of it].. won't be for a looong time.
9. But the stardrive colours are funny
... what it needs are ghosts flying aroudn tohugh....10. It is the dopest game ever
I think most of your questions have been answered above, but I'd just add that we're in open beta - ie, it ain't finished, and the nature of the project is such that it'll always be in development. Most of these things are on the to-do list if they're not already implemented; and, if they're implemented but aren't working that well just now, having them fixed is also on the to-do list :)
As for modelling: why not post some screenshots of your stuff and let's see wot's wot :)

"1. please fix the joystick mapping problem. "
The little coder chap who did all that is off in the void somewhere atm. i'll have to go buy a stick if he dont show up somewhere soon :]
"2. put a 3rd person view in there for the space ships. "
Beat ya to it.. its in 1.44.1
"3. you should make the space stations as same as the planets. a whole 3d world to explore. infact every thing should be 3d realtime "
We do have new building interiors in the pipeline.. that could be linked to the space station. (tho functionality wise its got all it needs for now, and theres priorities :] )
"5. the physics need alot of work. "
yeh
"6. we should have a first person view and 3rd person view when we are on planets walkin around doin our thing. also we gamers like to be unique, custom skins would be nice. "
as mentioned above, the camera is a settings thing. I appreciate the desire for custom skins.. in fact, thats one of the main reason why the worlds are designed to be run by players. Why just have a custom skin when you can have a custom game...
Thats not quite the point i know.. and actual custom skins is something i'll be looking at some point in the future (if only for some stuff in the space game initially). As mentioned, there are limits to how far its sensible to take that..
"8. can i make a space armada? can i conquor other worlds? universal war would be so kick ass. "
yeh it would.. thats next on my task list ;]
"and if u need help please let me know i am pretty good in 3dmax."
yeh, comeon then
