Captain Matsiyan, sir. While it might still need a coat of paint to look pretty and a bit of tuning to work out the bugs, far as I can tell nothing’s stopping it from being taken out for a spin.

Hello Sabasti, I’ll start with an explanation of things as I understand it and then provide you with a step-by-step process to try.

Once the mod is installed it’s already active, so you can skip running “zEnable Expansion.bat” as the only reason for it (and “zDisable Expansion.bat”) is to allow you to turn the mod on & off. I would instead…[Read more]

I cannot recall any specific instance of being provided a written brief. We do, at times, get O.N.I. reports following our missions posted onto these forums, and I’m sure there’s “classified” paperwork that the Senior Officers use for those shift briefings, but that’s as close as we get at present.

We do both simulations and missions during duty shifts. Simulations are used to stress-test the server/mod, provide players a chance to act in roles they’re less familiar with, and to generally get officers warmed up before missions. Missions, as continuations of the TSN canon, are story-driven experiences with repercussion. You could, in a sense,…[Read more]

Hello Sabasti, I’m sorry to hear about your Discord woes. While it’s true that we use Discord a fair bit these days for announcements, awards, objective tracking, and discussion, the important things are just about always echoed during shifts to ensure that everyone’s in the loop where possible. In short, you won’t be missing too much without…[Read more]

Without details on a proposed cycle time or range, I can really only think of a two use-cases for such a device at the moment:

1. Disabling vessels when you want to reduce the risk of significant damage or casualties. This use-case isn’t particularly common, but it certainly does come up now and again.
2. Running continuous disables to assist…[Read more]

Regarding Weapons Officer Engagement
You’re correct that there will not be an abundance of activity on weapons, but there is a degree of challenge involved as each of those passing shots matter. Being able to maintain a visual lock on a specific ship system as it performs a Delta-1 at warp, arguably warp 2 at least and even assuming the helm…[Read more]

1) As recommended by Nhaima, beam damage has been doubled for testing.
2) File paths for .dxs and .snt have been modified to direct to the “/data” file, rather than “/data/TSN/Player” file for ease of copy/pasting files during design iteration.

Resource file updated to reflect changes, code be posted here for easy viewing:

At this point, it requires the following:
Feedback on design intent/execution
Field testing for design iteration
A working texture map (could not figure that out)

Other:
The vertical nacelles are intended to be difficult to reach and the rings are subject to hallway damage, but it may be too troublesome in its present stage.
In solo field tests…[Read more]
