The "tech" behind ns

in NS General Discussion
DISCLAMER I "don't" know where this should go, its about NS so I put it in general discussion! (If this should be in another area please move it)

Now my thought is this, what if we were to create a small piece of writing called "The Tech Of NS" It would require the help of any Fan Fiction writer that has explained how something in NS works (eg the replicators in Rogue Platoon) then bring it all together to form a small document. This could even include gun names and backrounds just to give an extra dimension to NS, (I like backround info!)

Just A thought.. Need feedback!

    good idea, so then our hardcore fans would know where everything comes from etc. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Sounds good, as long as it doesn't hold up the release <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    It would be good to get Jeff Paris, the team writer to help with this. If he's not too busy that is.

    What Mouse said.

    If you've read the most recent set of story, you'll actually find that a good chunk of technology (how buildings are built) is explained within.

    Silly boys.  This is what the manual is going to be.  I've seen a few pieces of it, and it's *fantastic*.  Go read the <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org/world_marine_start.html" target="_blank">World Section</a> at Natural-Selection.org for a tidbit of Jeff's writing.

    There should be a story called "Six Days in Sanjiiv" there, as well, but I don't see it... anyone know where that went?

    Then we'll fill in the gaps that the manual misses!

    It used to be right under the frontiersmen documentation.

    Might it be that someone has used old flashmenues for the move?

    That'd be a great idea. Many great games have a background booklet about everything in the world you are playing in (Heavy Gear RPG is the first to spring to mind) and it would help us here who will be posting fan-fiction understand what sort of thing should go in etc.

    You might want to wait for the manual.

    Maybe Jeff's updating it. I heard somewhere that ghostly signifiers for buildings were out.

    I'm pretty sure that we accidentally rolled back to some old files when the server moved.  I've sent the appropriate ones on, so hopefully it will be back up soon.

    I'm firmly of the opinion that it should be released on a Tuesday.  Specifically in the early afternoon of the first week of October. ;)

    Don't worry, you'll know when it comes out.  As for the tech, I'm thinking about writing a chronology for the NS timeline.  Wouldn't know how offical it'll be however.
