Gemini Ascendant Campaign

[Starwolf]

The rail guns are the 2 large main turrets. The long narrow structures on the sides are the STL engines, the void drive is a huge structure aft/and centered on the hull. The "flight deck" is a flat area just aft of the superstructure. The flight deck is a combination landing/launch/elevator platform with the "hangar" area in a large bay below the superstructure. The nose cone looking thing in the bow is our torpedoe launcher with a torp loaded for firing. I will be moving the front main gun turret to the bottom hull of the ship.

Ok here is the next version of the Washington...

An angle view, a side profile, and a front view...

Here is a link to the Washington model assembly...

note: the zip only holds the CRZ and PNG files, you MUST own the powerfusion 3D cap ship kits to use this assembly.

Enjoy!

Wow. Es cool.

Now all we need to do is figure out how to turn those turrets into fully automatic railcannons....

That's real sharp. Isn't Killian and the Doc our computer wiz kids. I say we strap them down to their computer and have them start making a program for the rail cannons and the anti-fighter guns as well.

I think the problem is more hardware than software in why the rail-cannons can't be turned into auto-rail-cannons.

I am missing a couple of game logs. I know big surprise there. Anyway, I specifically need the logs from the week that the Washington was first discovered. It has some dates that I need to extract from it.

I am wanting to build a comparative timeline between the AW/TE and the separate colonization of the Frontier. This is not exactly important or high priority, but it would be nice.

Some suggestions on just how to do a timeline would be appreciated too. Right now, I'm thinking a spreadsheet using a vertical line with branches to one side being AW/TE and branches on the other side being Frontier.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The "problem" is deliberate design feature. By making a loader be responsible for transporting the heavy rounds from the lift to the loading tube, a human could visually inspect the procedure and make sure the round went in correctly.

Since all of the mechanisms can interact with each other, automating the process would be a "simple" matter of designing some sort of hardware interface that would allow a program to direct the controls instead of needing a human to press the buttons. Beyond that, some sort of sensor relay would in turn need to be tied into the relay in order to sense that the round was safely and correctly loaded into the loading tube.

And of course, the next question is; where are you going to find replacement ammunition?

as a by the by ... I haven't had as much fun playing a character as I've had playing Sam in a long time - part in due to having some other really cool characters around her.

the game is tres awesome, I so cannot wait to see what Sam's history is....

I'll posit that "really cool characters" come from really good players. In the beginning, I had some serious doubts about the longevity of the campaign. Here I was, starting a gaming session with what amounted to a bunch of internet acquaintances. Little did I know then, just how close I would come to this group and just how well we'd mesh together in play style. And here we are, over a year later and still going strong. If you've had fun playing Sam, I've had fun being the host for her and all the other characters.

Well, reading the comments made in character, I'd say you have a pretty good idea of the general "super secret" character history. Now the specifics, I can have fun with that for years and years.

Looking forward to Thursday. I felt the last two weeks lagged a bit and now I am looking forward to injecting some energy back into the game.

Oh great now Taffy is going to electrocute someone...

Sam nominates Wade . . .


(if you still need the logs Nol I can have 'em packaged and sent to you when I get home from work this afternoon)

Now I have this image of Taffy, crooked dralasite fingers spread out in a fan, screaming "unlimited power!"

If it wouldn't be too much trouble....
