Space - Another Big Zone

October 25th – Test Worlds – RC Engine

Added - Space “Named to Omega9”
- Space theme I have decided to add to give a good extensive test on what the RC engine can do.
Added - 4 Planets within the “Space – Omega9”
- Four planets have been added, only earth at the moment will be a planet able to be landed onto. I will be announcing at a later date and give more information on the other three planets.
Added - Sun (Yellow texture at the moment)
- Just a basic sphere with yellow texture attached to it.
Added - Earth Space Station

Noted - Linking from land to space. This will be done by using the space port idea. Were players will book flights from the space port to the space station. Then at the space station travel between other space stations using public transport or players buy there own craft.

Noted – Player craft landing on planets. As RC has the restriction of not being able to go straight into the planets atmosphere I have devised a way for a player to land onto a planet. Involves two gates. Gate one would be an Exit gate, gate two a Entrance gate. A script will run when coming near the gates. A NPC will ask would you like to land, you accept yes and then are warped into the “Sky of the planet” there you can fly down to the land. You can find local cities by using your map or looking for the name tags above the villages and cities. Same as flying out into space, there will be space gates above each city, there you approach the gate and then the NPC will ask would you like to travel into space. You say yes and then you are loaded back into space outside the planet.

Noted – Orbiting animations. I would love to give the feel of movement of the planets, I will start to have a test on static animation of each of the planets orbiting the sun in a very slow motion, also the space stations will orbit with the planets, and some GPS sats will orbit the planets as well as the moons
