Do you know if PS Devs are working on any of your great ideas? Cause if not... Poo on them... Much poo on them... In fact gallons of poo on them

[Hayoo]

No clue what the Devs are working on. Everything's hush-hush, probably to ward off premature expectations (which the community tends to do). I'd love to know if they plan on doing the CE tracker. The problem is that it doesn't benefit everyone directly. These things work like phone companies during an outage. They'll go to the lines that bring normality back to the greatest people at once. If you're off a feeder line, you'll just have to wait your turn. Oh well.

Oh, here's a minor "how-to" thingy I put up for simple line-art work:

As far as I know the skull and bones, as well as the name, have been adopted by the Sluggers (VF-103), now aboard the Kennedy I think.

Flash Map is basically done now and uploaded to the site at the link above. Only Searhus is rotating though. I'll have to go back and do the other planets, then animate the warp links and the info pop-ups.

While I'm finishing up the continent pages, I've started gathering data for the vehicle pages. I may need some numbers help on this one for things like armor values, 0-top speed time, weapon range, time of round to target, etc.

Each vehicle page will list useful roles, diagrams of weapon range of movement, comparison charts with other vehicles for speed and weapon range, screenshots of first and third person views, shots of inventory and standard loadout, etc.

Any charts, data, or images I'll make available to PSU as well, to beef up their own vehicles page.

Example comparison chart:

[Baneblade]

Hmm, I could help with that, I was thinking about doing something similar.

[Jmart]

tight dood that site is pretty cool, looks like this site a lil bit

[internetn]

I swear Hayoo, you are a blessing from the gods.. maybe the devs don't need to consider your ideas, but actualy hire you unto thier team...

[Hercules]

Nice work Hayoo, love your ideas

[martyr]

hayoo, i wrote this some time ago (before the lodestar, hence the missing speeds) with my outfit's help, but some of the data might still be valid.
