Hi all,
Look, I'm glad you like this thing but, even with the Forge taking some of the download load (Thanks Eddie), we're still running out of server space. So, I've, sort of, invested in some dedicated gear that can be fitted at a major node but it's not really something I can really afford to do.... so I need to make this pay a little. It should give a massive kick to game que times and it'll let me move my Hi-Streamer back inside.
Okay., so to really help me out you can click here and buy one. It's a custom cyberdeck built from a mix of Orion, Sirirus, Megadyne, WhizzMec and various others - stuff that I know works together well even if it's not really supposed to according to the manufacturer thanks to a little solder and a jumper.
It comes loaded with Aces by and all our own Flight models. I can build or get these built fairly handy and you know if you buy one you'll get something that's absolutely guaranteed to work with Aces - and come with your choice of desert. I'll be using this hardware template to build and optimise the sim code. It won't be locked or anything like that, but I can't build modules for your specific hardware combination - you might need to get your hands dirty compiling or reconfiguring.
They'll also work with most Metaverse-variant systems too....
But, since I know a lot of you already have a cyberdeck I want to do something else. We just sort of aquired a Boskone TR-72 Raven in good working order.
It's getting tested anyway but, I can build a model for it, especially for those who help me out. It'll have all the same details as our own stuff so you can have a proper red-team too. And it'll be yours. It'll only be available to people who really help me run the game.
But, if you want to just donate I've a Patron going and there's stuff I can do with that - including hiring some professional developers, or hiring other spacecraft to fully model and I'll try and get you something in return. Maybe some sort of voting on what models or maps get done and when.
Other ways to contribute. I need to figure that out. There's modelling and codework that's needed but right now the limit's hardware.
I don't want to go the route of having to make it subscription only.
If you've any questions, just contact me and I'll try to answer them when Frigga's stopped falling apart.
