Yeah Pioneer has been talked about quite a bit on here. I believe Mr Potsmoke66 would be the man behind it.
Nah, Tom Morton is the man, though Potsmoke has become involved in his usual enthusiastic manner

LOL - ah cheers
cheer up
tom morton is responsible for the coding of it yes.
for those who didn't know he worked out GL-Frontier.
but i guess after stucking into the same problems as JJFFE, he decided to code pioneer from ground up, only using the same way of a procedural generated universe.
i only gave the rough look of it's basic models a little nicer touch.
promise; i will update my pioneer thread as soon as my models are ready to go for alpha7.

that would be something...
...to see you walking in the rain
who knows, what nickname he would use then?
poppa? last sailor?
yes, he could bluff us all, and acting like he had no idea...
at least i would do so
and laughing off my ASP, i guess i would nearly die of laughter.
not because it's bad no, because we wouldn't know he's present, asking some innocent questions.
well if that would be, then i suspect the most harmless one.
allready i got some in my sight as canditates.

don't forget FFED3D please,
keep some interest in it, would be sad to see it die.
go elite-games and show some interest at least.
btw, FFED3D needs a new dev. i guess.

Dreamzzz
LOL, you might be right there Gernot, but of course we would be leaving ourselves wide open to a hoaxer if that was the case :S If David Braben does show some interest (or even just simple curiosity) in Pioneer, I would rather he would just come right out and say it. Just a comment would mean a lot to the dev team
And yes you are also right about FFE3D, I sincerely hope that project does not die, not after so much good work has been done so far
It has always been a dream of mine to have all 3 Elite games remade for modern day with a new Elite IV being the icing on the cake, but as I said only a dream.................................but, I have faith!

Hi Folks
Another update for Pioneer.
Alpha 8 has just been released, plus one of the contributors to the project (S2odan) has also finished another update to that, 8.1
Also there has been a change of lead programmer to the project. Tomm is stepping down from the role
But John Jordan (of JJFFE fame) is taking over instead!. Need I say more? Of course I do. Thanks for all your wonderful work Tomm and glad you will still be involved in Pioneer!

Wish he'd pick up FFED3D as well!
One project at a time Steve!
Now where was I? Oh yes, JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ! JJ!
Oh yes
To get him onboard is going to be immence, the lads a legend.Nice one Geraldine for letting us know :smilie:
Hmm - downloaded and played - Can't say as I like the remake of the pulse laser. It's nigh on impossible to track an enemy with it - shouldn't a laser still be a beamy thing rather than glowing ***** drifting away from your ship? Am I missing something here?
Hyperspace is cool but the endpoint of your jump overlays your ship model in external view when you rotate around it.
I does look great tho.
