STARRY PLOUGH: PEOPLE AS GODS
============================
Hello, dear readers!
In DEJA VU # 07 contained an article on
grand project of PLAYGEAR, but
syaschem codename SUPER
ELITE. How you can make your own form
easy to see that these words were not empty
tymi, and immediately after
the seventh issue of the magazine, I am for
sat down to write a steep (as
and promised Cardinal:)) scenario.
How much does it
good - to judge, of course, you.
Let me just say that the work I
done a large enough
-Written by more than half of the scenarios
nariya! And today, I presented
lyayu to your court, only a small
his piece, which includes
brief description of weapons,
equipment and types of ships,
that my planning
in the game. In general, the entire scenario is based,
quite naturally, on the legendary ELITE. Will be much similar,
but also mass difference, believe me! And if we will implement
all the ideas, then life will be lived not in vain:)))! Perhaps
needless to say that this project will purely commercial ...
Well! Will not spend in vain bytes and begin ...
* * * * *
... Consumer Goods - Consumer Goods.
Prices for them, as in everything else (except the price of the
ships) are subject to change depending on the technical level
of development of the planetary system (or selected randomly).
As in the ELITE, the "nepooschryaemym" types of trafficking is
the slave trade - humanoids; Drug substances; alcohol and
handguns. Combat rating, of course, will not suffer, but the
civil status of you no doubt "mess." Accordingly, the
inevitable conflicts with the police, spilling, usually in a
fierce battle. Now the flight to another galaxy, "clean" status
will be impossible. But as they say, time treats ... Committing
twenty missions and is not having on board illegal goods, as
well as destroying pirates (not the peace ships!)
can significantly improve their situation, the status clears in
one step. And, in general, to make money in this game can and
honest way, because All Items significantly expanded and
modified slightly pricing policy ...
More than a century ago, when the large-scale exploration of
deep space, all developed nations were united in one
Earth Federation. The only money
unit, which had circulated, became a so-called KREYS. However,
the money, as such, has long lost its past significance on
inhabited planets. Many people never even held hands in a single
Kreysa. Cash long replaced their own individual characteristics
most man! It was enough to make their
palm to the special unit. Immediately place the analysis and,
if the man was kreditosposoben, he "sold" the fact that
he wanted. This method proved to be the best
of all and was completely protected against tampering and
counterfeiting. Thus, the man himself, and was a kind of
"Credit Card ", which is not to steal and not to lose.

Short description
equipment and weapons
----------------------
Solid fuel - well, of course, is not
Charcoal and firewood:) special synthesis are nuclear
components, becoming crystalline mass. In the fuel tanks
they were "treated" special agent that causes a nuclear chain
reactions of ridiculous intensity. One kilogram Solid fuel is
able to lift and accelerate to the speed of light ship weight
tens of tons!
Torpedo - an inexpensive and, if so honestly,
not very effective weapon. Usually they
enjoy beginning their military careers
pilots have not yet make a fortune. However, it
can become a deadly weapon
with the correctly chosen strategy for pirates who do not have
Antitorpednoy system and skills of warfare. In the beginning
Games you to 3 pieces.
Antitorpednaya system - funny, but it
and in Africa antitorpednaya system:) It is
effective (and therefore expensive) electronic
pribambas. When using it for targeting torpedoes something
there closes in the guidance system and they are transformed
into harmless iron "blanks, collapsing after a few moments
apart. But on Biological projectile does not have any
the slightest influence.
Pulse emitter - it was originally
equipped with all the ships of the Federation average
class, including your SHIP. Principle
acts like an ordinary laser
Arms. To destroy the enemy terbium multiple hits, which would
undoubtedly a bit annoying and is a good incentive for changing
to a more powerful weapon.
Biological bomb - oh, there's nothing special
case! Relatively recent development
nutty academics. Punctuated with some creepy biological muck
from the planet Aregon! I even find it difficult to describe
the principle actions of this "miracle." What is clear is that
this filth is capable not only in a few seconds after hitting
the target, attack all more or less metal part of the ship, but
also inhibit deactivating pulse Antitorpednoy system. So that
it can destroy only a "fire and sword." Well if it is a present
still hit you in side "- you have just a couple of seconds to
write a will and shoot:).
Molecular oscillator - a bit more abruptly a pulsed
counterpart. Conducting a more intensive and effective fire.
Has much lower energy consumption, but in the zone of active
combat operations group quickly heats up and begins to simply
as "cough." Nevertheless, you have some time to actively use
for not imeneem better.
Fuel reagent - ... Behold, the devil!
Again, the formula forgot! What can you do chemistry
not my favorite subject. And the hell it is
surrendered to the pilot? In general, the substance to
interaction with solid fuel (see above) comes to him in
connection ... I would like say - in response, of coz:)
Federation provide you with them in sufficient quantities,
before the end of the game you will not hurt you
place, which is sometimes called the head.
But if you tear off a stray torpedo fuel tanks - sorry ...
Prior to the planet you are dotyanet, and there will have to do
upgrade in new ways.
The electromagnetic capture - a useful thing, allowing
containers to choose from odds and ends had fallen out of the
belly of wrecked ships polorotyh pirates. So rush to buy it -
it will bring you a lot of freebies!
Life shuttle - the purpose of
this devaysa slyly encoded in its name:) But for those who just
got out of the basement Heretic'a, I still give some comments.
It is possible that you will never buy or do not use them,
relying on his strength. For god! Once you have it, you have a
chance to escape from any situeyshen. Mars one you will be
saved themselves, but will lose all cargo and ship ... forever:
(Hmm, gloomy prospects. People, take attendants on board! But
not so gloom and doom. We have a fairly advanced Federation,
and she instantly give you credit for the purchase of the
vessel Piligrimm middle class, and it may more nor less -
167.000.0 Kreysov! Cool? Cool, but have to go to certain
conditions, namely: let's say, after the death of the ship you
have left 50.000 Kreysov (money, by the way, like all other
parts of the body persist after use of the shuttle)
means to purchase Piligrimma you need
117.000.0 all who have kindly and offer you the Federation, but
..! Debts, we must return! So you'll have to "slightly"
Prestressing and work until the negative balance in -117.000.0
not turn into zero. But then again, can work themselves. Of
course, if your cash after the loss of the vessel will exceed
167.000, is of no credit or bondage can not
be no question!
Annihilation torpedo - that thing
will be somewhat more serious than usual
torpedo. If you want a simple dashboard
Up to three hits to destroy the ship well protected, this
"little trouble "will bring you much more
golovnyakov! If involved in any vehicle, the latter will be
instantly destroyed! It is based on annihilation, explaining
that it makes no sense, as all of his studying in school, even
superficially.
Proton Bomb - a serious bid for
victory in any battle. Has directed action (which is why you
are still alive:). When activated emits a powerful beam of
charged particles of large radius of action and leaves no hope
for a close meeting with family and friends. Today
time, only three objects in the universe is somehow protected
from it: Orbital Station any type; Super Ship LEX, some
of the enemy cruisers and enigmatic wanderers of space, huge
space platforms, ships generations - pilots.
Batteries, energy - I think that here
everything is quite clear and simple. Thanks
them, your spent (no matter what), the energy will recover much
faster.
Jump - docking - a device that
certainly make your life easier. Now you
save a lot of time and nerves, because
you no longer have to dock manually.
Zero-transition - that is opening on
the dawn of the third millennium has allowed mankind to quickly
master the deep space! Its essence is as follows: Space is not
just a vacuum, but also a complex organization of all kinds of
fields, with a reasonable use of which can do wonders truly!
Now, scientists have made by besschislennyh experiments
brilliant results. They managed to find the essence of a
temporary matrix in some fields and create device, which is a
kind of "stack" on the field twice. For example, put in front
of a blank sheet of paper and place on one end point and on the
other. Obzovite their entry point and exit point, respectively,
and a sheet of paper galaxy. Distance from point to point on
the galactic standards just great, now bend the sheet in half
... Well, the point of contact! So, the device and allows you
to make it Same with the metric space, we
with a sheet of paper. Of course, I'm here all exaggerating,
that was understandable. In fact much more complicated!
Naturally, the transition for the sake of security is possible
only on the orbit planet. During this time, on-board computer
calculates the coordinates of the point of exit, in order to
does not appear in the planet itself! Yes, all this
As intergalactic flights within
their universe! The computer will ask you to
enter the number of galaxies (according to Cambridge
directory, of course:)) and starts counting.
A few seconds later you vynyrnite in a given galaxy! Energy
devices only enough for five transitions! AY-Track: -------=
DRAGON HEART

Tehnologicheky robot - very useful
gizmo. And that's what it polzitelnost
lies. Having met the asteroid (or meteor decent size), you are
sending robot on it. The robot is fully automated and then he
will understand what's what. His work was reduced to Sensing (if
a probe) and the extraction of minerals and rare earth metals,
etc. from the bowels of the asteroid. After development, the
robot automatically returns to board your
ship, where you have rubbed his hands with pleasure and
feverishly count the profit:) The asteroid will also be
destroyed due to its future futility and danger
for ships.
Technological probe - a device that allows the robot to
develop precisely minerals, rather than waste rock. In his
absence the robot often "hauling" you only useless stones: (.
Autoguider system - can not understand why this thing had
not used? Expensive, of course, but how convenient for you!
Well, judge for yourself ... Catching sight of an enemy ship,
you turn on the system. Now the sight firmly fixed on the
enemy, and you can safely keep on it firing range, not pulling
his ship in different directions. Rest assured, no matter what
maneuvers did not make an enemy, or one of your
shot is not wasted! And as it saves energy as well!?
Plazmopreobrazovatel - Fu-you, well, you ...
Well, the word came up. But none the less. Useful unit in the
case when you have sudden in-flight "over" fuel:) No,
joke, of course! But there are sometimes such
moments when you simply need to urgently go somewhere, "fade"
in other planetary system, and fuel is not enough ... So,
if you do such a thing exists, then fly
calmly to the sun and refuel yourself at
Health!
Distortion generator - y-y-y ... An extremely effective
weapon in the battle! Can easily all the "scam" without firing
a shot! Its essence is as follows. Generator distorts the
metric space literally! When using it, the space in front of
you is changing, and your enemies will not be able to get
closer to you - they turn around and throw back, to the
starting point! Can not you hit and their weapons, because
generator is equally valid for all physical perturbation of
space. Very expensive, though!
Photon mortar - a powerful energy weapon and a continuous
high rate of failure. Requires high energy, so that it is
preferable used in conjunction with energy accumulators.
Gravity gun - oh-ho-ho ... Steep thing! Her volley destroy
virtually any matter. It is based on
using gravitational waves directed action. At the point of
"contact" with the object is formed, this meat grinder, and
gravity reaches 100 g! You flatten and smear around the cabin
so that it will be easier to paint than to pull out!
Generator mu-field - oh my, these generators! Around the
object creates a sort of "Protective cocoon" of the fields,
fully absorbing the light energy. Thus, we achieve
"invisibility", but only for the eyes. So it's not a panacea
for all ills. Requires a lot of energy!
Psi-generator - the generator again? But what! Acts on the
neural system Rights and produces a wave of fear. When
its use of all visible enemies flee in all directions!
Remember, only for mans!
Boarding anchor - a piece, of course,
needed in the economy. Allows you to dock and abandoned during
the fighting, ships and tow them to the station for
subsequent sale. Very profitable thing!
Antigraviton - the name itself speaks for the
themselves. When you use the enemies gravity gun (the computer
will warn you this), you will have a couple of seconds to turn
it on! Have time - Survive!

Auriga - The base ship. It was his
you have, starting his military career!
Ship of the middle class, enough maneuverability, has a small
turning radius, which undoubtedly important in the conduct of
hostilities. -0.4 Vehicle speed of light. Of course, this is
not the fastest ship of the Federation, but it is very cares
about is that you will not rasshibli yourself something in the
beginning of the military way. Following the acquisition of
some management skills, you can Auriga replaced by a more
powerful machine.
PILIGRIMM - Shopping korabl.Vnushitelnye cargo compartments
and sturdy construction make it indispensable for commerce.
Sufficiently slow, 0.3 speed of light. Usually poorly armed, in
order to resist a freebie lovers who were divorced abound. Is
not very powerful weapon, but it carries a three combat
amphibious ships Castle, which are immediately used in case of
danger. For the experienced fighter is not much difficulty.
SAPSAN - patrol craft. Commonly used for space by the
police. Small and very fast ship. Speed 0.6 light. Maneuver and
well-armed, has a good defense. Actively used by experienced
pilots. Mediocre player is better not to mess with two
Peregrine Falcons, rest assured - you are alive is unlikely to
go away!
ELDORADO - A luxurious ship for space voyages. Often it
become rich promyshleniki and pirates. Packed with all kinds of
electronics and are usually well-armed. Has good technical
characteristics that makes it pretty dangerous opponent,
especially in advanced hands. 0.6 Speed of light. On board
there are two types of omega assault bot.
VIOLA - similar previous ship. Has a slightly smaller size
and lower performance. Actively used by affluent pirates. Speed
0.5 light.
TRITON - A ship of a new generation. Begins a series of
these combat cruisers Federation. Produced about a hundred
years, proving the fact that developers and designers of that
time found a good technical solution. Of course, by modern
standards are not perfect, but nevertheless widely used by the
Federation, as well-proven in space battles. Has a powerful
protective fields, which makes it quite tough nut to crack, as
for novice pilots, and for the more experienced. Speed 0.5
light, is not very maneuverable.
Hermes - Continued above mentioned series. Is a modification
of the previous ship. Scheduled for a smooth transition from
defensive function for the attack. By combining both qualities,
Hermes is a rather formidable cruiser. In addition to powerful
arms bears three amphibious boat
such as Lincoln. To join battle with Hermes, with only pulse
emitter - bad job, believe me - he probyval:)! With the
depletion of energy force fields, has disgusting habit -
releasing bots that immediately begin to burn in that horrible,
including in you. Speed 0.6 light, high maneuverability.
ANACONDA - Y-y-y ... This thing will be
are more serious than the war in Vietnam! Straight
still flying fortress with the characteristics
F-116! Ship attacking the plan with all
consequent to you, of course,
consequences! Very maneuverability, bastard! Does not carry a
fig, but the nerves you potrepet fundamentally, if you are, of
course, will live to this happy moment! Have you ever "fought"
with the bees? That's it, how hands, not machine, and pain in
the ass assured! 0.6 Speed of light. Actively used by the
pirates of all stripes.
GHOST - Keep off me! Chur! No, of course,
I'm not afraid of ghosts, but this special case. This Phantom
has a very material basis! What is so dangerous that a cruiser,
you ask? And the fact that in addition to high technical
performance, it has a generator mu-fields, which, as you
already know, creates around itself a kind of "snail" of a
special field, through which does not penetrate even light. In
short, the battle Phantom makes extensive use of invisibility,
which is very complicates the conduct of hostilities! Well
also that he used his advantage
may be only a short time, as
generator absorbs a significant amount of energy. With repeated
contact with ship, the generator ceases to operate.
Vysokomanevren, the rate of - 0.7 light.
PREDATOR - It is true to its name, because belongs to the
category of imperial ships! Well, probably, with the definition
of I slightly overdone, as long there is no
Empire. Nevertheless, because of its styled
pilots, putting in the word something cool! And not for
nothing, the ship is really cool! What? And the fact that
almost unbeatable in battle. Of course, I take into account
only the averages, as a pilot, and his ship. Keep this in mind,
dear readers! So that nothing is impossible. Saying only that
the ship, in most cases, bears (and uses, of coz) all (almost
all) of armament imaginable! Manages this cruiser, as a rule,
the pilot class. Maneuverability limit! 0.8 Speed of light. A
comforting fact that the first monster that usually does not
attack, but there may some confluence of circumstances under
which you will be attacked. Well firstly, if samipolezete for
trouble, and secondly, if you, for some mischief, has been
declared a federal wanted list, and only a fool refuses to
decent pay and, third, ... find out for yourself! But I repeat
- you can beat it!
PHANTOM - Hmmm ... Until then came the progress! Frankly,
I've never seen this ship is in the eye! And very few people
saw. Cruiser is the property of the Federation and is its
secret weapon. Rumor has it that released until only fifty such
ships. But, if you believe, and others stories, something where
you can buy PHANTOM and mere mortals! Maybe you know where?
I'll tell you what I know about him, and then only
Again, according to rumors. You can meet him
rarely, but you can never meet! The whole joke is that the
PHANTOM is invisible! Used cutting-edge secret technology to all
hide the ship from both eyes and on the devices. You can fly
dozens of times next to the phantom, but never find him if he
did not want to, for example, will not open for you a barrage.
About where a victory over him is not known anything. It is not
known and that can provoke it to attack. Say they usually
potruliruyut border zone of galaxies, protecting the external
borders. Technical details are not known, but I believe that
they are high enough.
LEX - More than a million years ago,
in the galaxy M33 at Cambridge directory, there was a
mysterious Russ excess beings, known as Ramiro. It is known that
they have achieved incredible technological
level of development. According to legend, Ramiro began to
engage in reconstruction kernel Universe. But some nuclear
processes went out of control, and civilization Ramiro nearly
perished in a nuclear furnace. Using the space-time continuum,
the remnants of a mighty race, leaving all, ran into another
universe, and most all other times ... Occasionally, humanity
finds traces of the above entities. One of these "trace" is
intergalactic completely autonomous vehicle LEX. After fleeing
Ramiro, dozens abandoned ships left to surf the galactic
highways. As I said, it's not just a ship - it is completely
automated "microcosm" that has artificial intelligence and is
capable of own decisions without needing cheylibo assistance. A
very powerful weapon is an ideal machine of destruction! Occurs
very rarely, and never attack first. The only reason for the
attack LEX can be only your innate aggressiveness or
impenetrable stupidity. Chance for salvation after the attacks
of tokens to you will just scoot. None of the ships of the
Federation is not able to overcome the LEX. This feat possible
only on edentichnom ship. But for this, as you know, you need
it as Something zaimet. They say that it is possible! In
Legends told that the ship Ramiro able to deliver you to the
mysterious Planet RAXXLA! In short - the game worth the candle!
Indeed, from myth to reality one step ...
