It just goes to show you that playtesting is very important. I found a very large bug last night that would have ruined the experience, but it was easily fixed.
I think that, if all goes well, the demo should be released by week's end.

My try. I didn't relize until after I finished it's "Horizon" not "Horizons". It wouldn't be hard to change later.

That is indeed a great logo...I think we'll need to do the header rotation thing. If you could remove the S and change it to 468x80 pixels (which is a similar proportion to what it is now) that would be wonderful.

I've been giving it a lot of thought, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to do the title screen for the final version of the RPG. Here is the title screen for the demo:
Basically, what I would like is for you to do something similar, except in that really nice font you had in the logo (but blue-purple). Either leave out the words "Demo Version" or change it to "Full Version." It has to be a 320X200 pixel 24-bit bitmap.
Can you do it?

Header rotation Frank? If you like it, I'll open up Photoshop and make appropiate changes.
And I can always try Krenim. Just a note though, that font doesn't do lower-case letters.
Also I apologize if anyone had trouble accessing the image. Tripod is a bitch about that sort of thing now.

I hope you don't mind - mine is more like a LOGO rather than a word banner... it could have several versions - just the logo and logo with words...
its coming - It can also have several variations...

Hobbes: Thanks. By header rotation I mean that whenever someone visits the front page, one of the headers will be displayed randomly. It's easiest if they're all the same size.
Andrew: That sounds good...again, these headers will be just for the front page, but a overall logo would have more uses.

I got a chance to look around more and I am absolutely drooling over this. I love it. I would love to help in anyway I can. I did notice one thing, in the Astamir section the link to the corvette is broken. Thought you might like to know.

I fixed the link; thanks. I'm glad to hear that you're interested...there's lots you can do. If you like the Astamir ships, you can design more. Or even work on "detailing" a planet/station/civilization (which could be as simple as designing ships and so on); just be sure to read the intro. (I'll have more written on how to "join" the project in a few days.)

Ok i just came up with a very cool idea for The Terminal , Takh is the small terrestial planet near Ruq correct ? well my idea was to make it a very ore rich planet and the terminal is running a huge mining operation off it , the ore is later sold to Astamir Shipyards , heres my design for an orbrital Ore Processing facility I apologize in advance for the over all suckyness of the picture im not really the best computer artist if only i had a working scanner i could show you the kicking drawings i made. http://www.geocities.com/travlyn2/oreproccesingfacility.jpg
Let me explain a bit more on how these work , there are about 3 or so of these Facilities in Orbit around Takh they are acompanied by 3 Fuel Depots which im currently working on , The design is a take on Ds9's pylons basicly the Stations work as a loading dock the ship comes flies in through the pylons and is locked into position by the magnetic constrictors then the station extends the loading funnel and lines it up with the ships ore tanks after that is done an automated ore transport comes up from the planet and docks with the Station through the docking port inbetween the 2 pylons , then the station begins to transport the ore from the automated ferry to the cargo ship the is then released and contenues on to the orbital Fuel facility there it is refueled and resupplied and sent on its merry way . 2 ships can be loaded at once on each station . Well i hope you all like my first idea i know its not very original but its a start im already working on a new civilization which will be loacted near Zybrogus X .

I was wondering, if we wanted to join the project, can we create a new civilization or do we "have" to pick a shaded area on the map. The thing is I have a really good idea for a rather small civilization. And it would be good somewhere "north" of Astamir, perhaps near Telbin, or I suppose I could use Brasif if nobody else wants it and I can rename it
Well, in short. What I basically mean is, I need an area which is rather sparse in terms of stars, and several decades from being contacted by any major race. It will need a bunch of room "around" it, although it won't have a large "empire"...it just needs room. (For a reason)
I know I'm not being terribly specific, but thats to avoid spoiling the idea which I have rumbling around my brain.

Dhunter: I had envisioned several of the planets/moons in the system to be excellent for mining, actually.
I certainly don't mind other people fleshing out the system a bit, but remember that stuff in the RPG may change circumstances in the region...
Just remember, The Terminal is by and large the biggest structure in the system. The mining stations would pale in comparison. I do really like the design, though. If you're not good with computer drawing, perhaps you could get someone else to do a really nice pic of it. If no one else volunteers, I most certainly will.
By the way, since I'm almost done with my playtesting, I've begun designing the Terminal patrol ships.
