Stargate Vessels

[orbitingpluto]

This seems as good as a place as any to ask, so could any one tell me if there has been any progress on making a working Stargate in Orbiter? I think the answer is going to be no or not much, but I hope that that I'm wrong.

Here is the technology:

So if someone would make a Stargate mesh better than this:

Then the rest would be trivial.
Obviously, it would only work between planets, adding solar systems would be a little bit less trivial.

Kind of like this?

But that's only good for dirt side so maybe something like this in space.

But then you need a ship that would fit though a gate. How about this one?

Cool gates require a cool DHD wouldn't you think?

And some FX......

Is that kind of what would be wanted?

:hail:Ragtag!

It would make my day to have a link to where I could get these things. Could you go out of your way to do that, if I may so humbly ask?

It's not available yet. We are currently in BETA with selected people. Some of the features: Animated Gates that turn during activation. Pop-Up DHD to select gate, close iris or deploy new gate. The gate will transport any vessel or UMMU in range. Gates can be placed on planets, in space or attached to a ship. Sorry, we do not need any more BETA testers.

Thank you for replying! Even though it not done yet, just the fact that people are working to make it happen and I know that they are out there is so awesome that awesome can't describe it! I wish good luck to the team working on this and may the shine on your endeavors!

lol is there a way to permathank Ragtag XD

I do have a question though is there a way to make it that if your too close with say a ummu when it opens you die XD like in the show?

We thought about that but discarded it as unneeded fluff. We also talked about having you die if you gate to a gate that has the iris closed.

First things first. Which way to the sun and whats the address to the black hole planet?

Left after three rights.

Gate deployment is up to the user. Let us all know when you find the black hole planet so we can all have gates there. :lol:

Ragtag, just want to know when you think the Stargate Project will be done?
It would be great to know!!
Thanks

 

[Nazban]

alright i know this is out of the topic from vessels, but how about a stargate itself?
It could be used by UMMU's and maybe even future small ships(like wraith darts)

 

[orbiterizmad]

Yeh maybe you should check the page before...
lol :rofl:

We are very close to a public BETA release of the project. We are currently doing final testing and only have to write up the docs on how to use it.

Then again the Star Gate project team didn't have instructions so maybe I'll just let you folks figure it out.:lol:

I like it! I'll try to get the Rag Tag Fleet R&D team working on ways to do it.

 

[orbiterizmad]

Thanks!!! Cant wait for its release....

 

[jstowe96]

Ill get that request done for you =] Ill attempt to actually build all of them and create a giant armada of those ships and they can all be controlled from the mother ship but you will still be able to control the other ships.

Wish me luck!!!!

Besides your planned star craft add-on and allthough you don't have any Idea how to do things yet? seriously, big plans are good for learning. No faster way to learn stuff than needing it to pull off something great. But with your current overenthusiasm, people won't take you for full anymore pretty fast. Slow down a bit!

 

[Ragtag]

I figure I'll give an update on the progress of the RTF Star Gate project.
We have run into a couple of minor problems but otherwise it's looking really good.
I may consider bringing in some more BETA testers in order to get a new perspective.
If you are interested you will have to join the fleet and PM me why you would make a great BETA tester for this project. Just be aware that asking doesn't make it so and that we take our BETA testing very seriously. If you do it just to get the add-on then you will removed and never allowed to BETA test again.

 

[Ragtag]

The BETA testing is now closed.
Thanks to those that volunteered.
