New Website Content

Okay, I'd like to put the question out there. We're designing a new website and working in alot of new content. I think I can probably guess what half of you will say, but I'd like to get an idea of what you guys are looking for in terms of content.

Be specific and detailed in what you'd like to see.

I've got that covered for the ships I made.

We'll do some nice renders of the ships from all angles at some point. Rest assured.

Blackwater Ops ( or short : Blop ) seems to be one of those campaigns :

10 print "will come in 6 months"
20 delay 15552000
30 goto 10

You still do that "join the dot" screenshot idea. You could make it into a competition to see who has enough time to waste to actually join all the dots. I don't know maybe I'm just developing a join the dots fetish.

Screenshots from within the missions, with a few teasers to make me want this campaign to have been released yesterday. And so info on the Terran Knossos (I forget the name).

Yep, i wanna See Charon info Asap. All we know currently about its systems is that its *"Heavily"* armed with tons of weaponry. Does the subspace coils allow it to fire its beams extensively?

How do you know those subspace coils don't make up the weapons themselves?

Because in another topic reguarding the Charon, Icefire or someone said the subspace coils provided lots of power for the weapons.

That's not all they do. They do more than just power the weapons... it gets more complicated.

Might be dangerous to have weapons powered by a device that warps spacetime.

Do they (the coils) power up, fire, and accedentally destroy the station?

Can the station warp supspace so that incomming ships get destroyed before they can leave supspace?

Is the Charon capable of shutting down the node once it is opened? (with or without the destruction of the station itself?)

Is it capable of travelling through supspace itself?


These are just a few of the speculative questions I can come up with.

What if you could connect the Charon with different nodes, creating a gateway to several different destinations?

I doubt that.

My theory on the formation of nodes is this.

Subspace nodes form because of a relationship between the gravitational pulls of star systems. Gravity is a weak bond (yes I know that you physics peeps!) in real space but in subspace it has much more powerful implications.

The arrangement of the subspace nodes has to do with the arrangement of the stars in any given area. Blowing up Capella for instance could have changed the formation of subspace nodes in a particular area (and quite possibly have zero effect on nodes in GTVA space, remember, subspace does not work like real space).

The Charon was built on the subspace co-ordinates of the Delta Serpentis/Sol node. When its activated, it will form an artificial link to subspace which will re-form the destablized subspace corridor.

Think of the corridor as a garden hose with water streaming through it. Now think of Sol as one tap and Delta Serpentis as another tap. The hose is splashing around and is not connected to the other side. When the Charon is activated, its like someone taking the hose and plugging it back into the other tap.

Thats how I visualize subspace and how it works.
