Overview.
We are proceeding with the development of the TC at a high rate of speed.
Our first priority is releasing a new alpha plugin add-on (Teaser) for the EV Nova scenario.
The Teaser will contain 8 all new governments including: Orion, Cardassian, Starfleet, and Borg.
New ships: Borg, Cardassian, Orion, and over a dozen Starfleet Ships.
18 new Systems, 38 new Stellars including 2 new wormholes.
Over 14 new missions, a new mission string, 7 new cargos, a load of new fleets, dudes and persons.
It will also contain 29 new weapons, 55 new outfits, 8 new explosions, and 12 new sounds.
The interface will be all-new as well.
STN: The Final Frontier proudly welcomes Scott to the team.
The STN: TFF team is proud to welcome a new member to the development team: Scott from Minnesota.
Scott has been a devoted Star Trek for over 20 years and was once involved in the development for a (Original) Escape Velocity Star Trek plug-in, he has always wanted to help bring a EV Nova total-conversion to completion.
I believe Scott will prove to be an asset to the team with his research ability and mission writing.
Scott will also assist me in plugin programming and compiling, specifically in the area of mission programming. This is especially excellent for our team as it takes quite some time to program each mission, and we can use all the help we can get.
Reminder
We would like to remind everyone that, while we don't spend much time writing in the forums, keeping a daily progress log, or uploading samples to the website, that time is spent working on the TC. A significant amout of work goes into developing the TC everyday. And the team stays in very close contact in our development forum which has over 500 posts.
More cool stuff added!
This past week there have been some significant updates to the Teaser, specifically, 2 more governments have been added, bringing the total up to 8. The final count has been reached with our ships... a total of 24 ships will be in the Teaser, including a very special 3D version of a popular ship from an earlier Escape Velocity.
I have finally finished all the rendering and sprite making for the ships that will be included in the Teaser, this was a huge step this week, and although the progress log does not reflect this, it was the most difficult part of making the Teaser, and everything should be downhill from here.
10 more Stellars have been added, bringing the total to 40 stellars + 2 wormholes for the Teaser.
11 more Weapons have been added, bringing the total weapon count to 29.
25 more Outfits will be included as well, Total outfits count will be 55 for the Teaser.
