Shields Down
Welcome! to the first ever clan for Core-Exiles, a PBBG based Epic Space game.
When the outcast of the Core started to fill The Sphere territory it was plain to see that loners would find it impossible to survive. This is when two brave men came together and brought about the creation of a clan which shall for ever be known as "Shields-Down." They felt that this name was the only suitable choice, should enemies approach and attack; Where our allies shields fall we will be there, we will strike back the pirates and we will save our comrades. Should other pilots foolishly make themselves enemies of Shield-Down... We Will Make Them So! Their shields shall fall, their ships shall fall and they will fall.
The leaders of this clan shall forever be known in historic records of The Sphere as
Sensation and Robinb
We give you Shields-Down, clan, helper, and information site for Core-Exiles
Tad Busy...
Hey all,
Been a tad busy, work is taking most my time at the moment, so I know there are a lot of things out of date, outstanding and such. It should be settling down soon, and will be re-coding again.
I didn't cater that I would be out of action for 2 hours a day for driving... 2 years ago I was able to do work on the train - last I checked there is no device that would allow me to code whilst driving :( There are rumors of a direct train line from my home town to my place of work - although they have been talking about it for the past 4 years, I ain't expecting anything to happen this side of the century. Currently, it would take 1h50m to get from home to work on train, and then another set back. Great for coding times, but not great for relaxing - also I would be riding close to the last train. Joys!...
I got some other news, but I will post it later.
Take care,
robinb
My Bad...
Hey all,
Currently in Starbucks near my local town. Plan was to take my laptop
and do some work out here whilst I wait for someone to finish work.
Foolishly fotgot to pack it, stupid me. So, no updates his morning,
just a little insight as I am bored out of my mind.
Let's start with planning, something to wet your tastebuds. It's no
secret I have not been about much, and the time I have been about I
had hardware failures - all fixed now, moved away from an svn server
and running it on my localhost. If/when my personal server comes back
online I'll use it as a backup rather then the main content machine.
So, what is planned? First I have a reverification of all existing
content: some of it I'd missing, wrong or currupt. Any help on that
would be awarded :) (HINT)
Next is for new content. I have something I am calling a "secret game"
in construction. Basically you pay ingame credits for a board, and
weekly using a secret calculation it works out how many points you get
for that board. It can edit elements, rotate pieces etc. It's "secret"
as you don't know how the score is worked out. Prizes weekly, monthly
and special occasions. You don't have to wait for the work out to
play, single player will be available. More soon.
Second is one that's already created, but needs tweaking- Slot
machine! Last time my so played it, SD won 1 billion credits in 24
hours. Good news for me, but unfair for you lot. Some tweaking needed
me thinks.
Third, incorporating a new game to Shields Down. If you have a game
(large, small etc) let me know by posting a comment below (click title
to get to comment screen). It will have all the same games in,with
help tools And looking towards inter game trading!! Should be fun.
Forth, Market alerts. If you are after something, and someone puts it
on the pm at a price you are looking for, you will get an email about
it! Simple, plain and maybe your shouting about th GBM - if someone
gas a large request for 10,000 of something, but if want 10 this tool
should help.
Fifth, signiture tools for forums. I am in discussions with Core
Exiles and Transporter Tycoon to see if I can obtain a players
statistics (with the players permission), creating a dynamic pup
signiture so you can add it to core exiles fouls, transported forums
or any others you want. Facebook, myspace, the list goes on.
Sixth, newsletters. You may have noticed that in your settings you get
automatically added to tne mailing list. To keep it all legal,
everyone will be emailed to confirm you want to be added. Anyone who
doesn't will have to change that setting. Newsletter will include
important information, latest news and compertitions. I would strongly
advise signing up for it, the first compettition will be a very big
one!!
Right, wasted an hour and a half in starbucks, almost time to pick
people up. Again, sorry to people with withdraw requests, they will be
done when I get home.
Tell you one thing though, I love this iPhone. Amazing what a small
device can do
Take care all,
Robinb on iPhone, so forgive the mistakes!!
