    Ok, thanks for clarifying. I thought you would do something like that.

    I haven’t heard of magic rabbits before. I might learn something useful by researching it.

    Awesome!

    The only problem I see is that when a section of the texture is turned invisible (indicating a hole) the player would probably be able to see through the ship, since the insides aren’t rendered. You would need something to cover up the hole.

    I have played the older Elite and games and the newer-ish Oolite. Good games needless to say, but gameplay doesn’t quite scratch that itch properly. Like a back itch that you can reach, but your fingernails are too dull to REALLY do the trick.

    I have played the old MechWarrior games, and I enjoyed them. But the graphics of MechWarrior 4 made it fun in a different, more professional way.

    Hmmm…

    EOC is definitely not the game for you. Many of the proposals for an I-War 3 have included such ideas, but right now such things have not been implemented. The closest thing I can think of is Limit Theory, which isn’t done yet. Also, Limit Theory will not have explorable ships, stations, etc.

    I take it you’re not the willing game dev you mentioned. I have had some interest in creating a space game, but with other games on the market that have almost everything you could ask for, I changed my mind.

    The Gravedigger is not dangerous, except that it is two jumps from a level ten Nova class Heavy Cruiser piloted by Gowron. You should jump back through Firefrost and on to St. Elmo (or Corinthia if you want to attack that League fellow).

    I totally relate with you about the open world experience, and especially the combat oriented deal that many games (including vanilla EOC) has. I think that without Torn Stars, EOC would not be as good of a game.

    By the way, have you played the original Elite games? I know they’re old, but they are free and do a good job with having multiple career paths.

    I was destroyed, since I was not powered down, and am now with the Navy faction. I suggest heading my way and stay away from Gowron. Also, there appears to be a new pilot with the League that we could attack (we can’t make an alliance since the only in-game communications with enemies are the taunts). Also, we should use piracy to promote our ships. Gowron will need to be defeated to prevent him from destroying everyone else’s bases.

    I haven’t really gotten into Torn Stars, but this is additional cause for me to start. For now, I suggest starting the regular campaign, and try mods later. Also, you could try EricMan64’s mod, Gold Rush. It has considerably fewer problems, and gives a unique play experience.

    P.S. I-War 2 is known on these forums for having many issues, but all of the problems encountered in the campaign have fixes or workarounds.
