 March 19, 2016 - 11:07am | What, if any, independent planets and/or interstellar governments exist in your Star Frontiers universe and outside the Frontier Sector? Do you use the Rim, whether the original Zeb's version or something altered? Looking at the books for hints: It seems as if the Sathar must come from someplace. It could be that they mostly live in large deep space craft, and only control a few settled worlds. Or maybe they have a big empire with lots of planets. I think the Star Devil pirates originated someplace beyond the Frontier, yeah? I'd better look that up. If one goes with the AD set up, then the Core Four home worlds lie someplace outside the Frontier. The Yazirians might be from someplace close. Or maybe not. I would definitely go with the home worlds existing outside the Frontier. In contrast to AD, though, I assume the Humans originated on Earth. |
 October 24, 2016 - 9:46pm | I said above that I uploaded Frontier 20161011.zip to Port Loren Public Library. I posted that and then went to upload the file. However, the file was too large and the upload would just fail with no response. So, I noticed that there were many duplicate images in the directory tree and cleaned that up saving 20MB. The cleaned zip file was 36MB and still would not upload. So I stripped out the system data, nebulae, and ship models and it got down to 943kB and the upload worked. Well that is nice and all but it is boring to just look at stars and not be able to visit the worlds. I can put up manny other smaller sized zips, one per star system but I feel those would get lost in the Port Loren Public Library so I think I will make a seperate Celestia Frontier Add-on project and organize the zips there for easy access and retrieval. I'll move the Port Loren Public Library download to the project after I get the zips all organized for the upload. -iggy |

 February 2, 2017 - 4:58pm | I'll post this info here. I've been working on a Laco (Dixon's Star) brief, updating and modifying Jedion's work that appeared in Frontier Explorer, issue 2.. Here is the system/planet brief: http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/9616#comment-45270 And here is the planetary map: http://starfrontiers.us/node/9615 Joe Cabadas |
