[FR-main] Progress Update

[David S. <d_s...@be...>]

All,

 

I am making strides in the ship design.

 

Due to crosslink files from using 3D Studio Max, I lost much of my work I
had done last week. Except for the SF-111 updated file (I had a back-up) the
carrier initially was the big loss, until I started playing with a newer
design changing the mistakes I made on the first one.

 

I plan to bring back the original carrier, later, using it for the smaller
to medium fighters, requiring the bombers to go back to the main carrier to
rearm and refuel, unless of course, the group has a refuel frigate in the
area to resupply the ships.

 

All ships I have that are at 90% completion status are on the website under
screenshots.

 

At the bottom of that page, for us who use Netscape or MS Explorer, there
are links to 3D viewable files of the fighters. It will prompt you to
install a viewer prior to viewing similar to Shockwave but not. Sorry LINUX
users, I don't know of a way for you to view these files.

 

Before I go on vacation (March) I want to have at least 6 ships at 90% or
greater in completion with cockpit files for each.

 

Sunday I will be saving the meeting file and sending it out edited as a
Meeting Report. (Norman and I agreed that I would be the Admin guy - LOL)
and Scheduler, and 3D Graphics guy, DAMN I feel like I am at work!

 

Recommend discussion this Sunday to be:

Developer Centric

-          - Identification/Realignment of Task Leads

-          - Agreement to original effort - continues and is understood

Schedule -

-          - How long to get base code repaired - days and target completion
date

-          - X-Ship development - Maneuver (ship without weapons maneuver
through all modes of flight), crash detect, gravity effects to objects

-          - Inner Galaxy - limits and objects - days to completion and
target finish date

-          - Weapon development - days - target completion date

-          - Beta 1, days to target, target date

Requirements - If time allows, what are the base requirements?

-          - Build to specifications

-          - Error messages and admin reset capabilities

-          - CS Capabilities - what are the limites?

 

OK you code guys, get your ass to work! Talk to you tomorrow!
