But it's abstracted in game as turn based but in general Earth-Moon distances would be covered and battles over in a few minutes. As for how ships work, they use warp and combat is pretty similar to the distances that would be in Star Trek. But a Tharrn would see a large purple female Tharrn (the big ones). For the Yalkai, yes it would but due to not having unlimited funds we're sticking with how they look like to you, the Human player. Regardless the Kilrathi themselves are a shameless ripoff of the Kzinti from Niven's Known Space series! The Katraxi are actually a bit closer to the Kzin too. The Katraxi look a lot like how people remember the Kilrathi, but are pretty different if there's a side by side comparison. The Yalkai, does their effect work on the other races as well and make them appear in a form pretty to them too? Perhaps these ships would be moving so fast, such cheap tricks would be impossible. I've no idea how battle works in your universe though. It would be a bad ship in Freespace though since you could just get into the gaps and start blasting. However, even despite this, I think their race suffers for having all their ships look the same even though it's my favourite ship just to look at. I get a real feeling of familiarity with the Yalkai Cruiser, but I can't put my finger on where it is coming from. Prior to the Selach, the Aranids were my favourite. I really like the look of the Tulocks, they win the "most alien" race by a million miles. There's plenty more for me to look at now though. For me that really stood out, a fish with robotic arms, and I read the backstory and liked that, the idea of a race that couldn't have got where they are today without some outside influence, but now they're fully capable of advancing their species by themselves. My favourite race when they first came up in the thread are the Selach, the fish race. They look like Kilrathi and even the name rolls off the tongue pretty much just like Kilrathi. Speaking of Wing Commander, I am wondering if you are in any danger with the Katraxi. One of those ships reminds me very much of this: The Piranha from Wing Commander Prophecy. This is a red-letter day! * z64555 erases "Thursday" and rewrites it in red ink TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically. "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!" (.) so more than two hours but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion How did this code ever work in the first place!? Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission. ![]() Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working. (the very next day) this ****ing code did it to me again "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason." **** ME THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID ESPECIALLY ME God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking. Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong". "I am one of the best FREDders on Earth" -General Battuta literary criticism is vladimir putin "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. When you gaze long into BMPMAN, BMPMAN also gazes into you. schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.
