Submitted by Hashy on Fri, 08/04/2011 - 17:22

m0rnin,

A few weeks back, Fuzz I think, p0inted me in the directi0n 0f yet an0ther Tribes game in devel0pment f0r this year; Tribes Ascend

Judging fr0m what I’ve already heard ab0ut Tribes Universe, I am thinking that Ascend will be m0re d0wn the alley 0f the traditi0nal Tribal.

http://www.tribesuniverse.com/

Like Tribes Universe, Tribes Ascend will be based 0ff 0f Tribes 2; the best 0f the 3 previ0us Tribes games ( Starsiege Tribes, Tribes 2, and Tribes fl0p Vengeance.). g00d call in my 0pini0n.

Tribes: Universe *Hashy Drools*

Submitted by Hashy on Fri, 05/11/2010 - 18:29

m0rnin,

s0 I just stumbled up0n these happenings..

http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/11/03/tribes-universe-devs-talk-character-cl...

http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/10/25/global-agenda-devs-announce-new-tribes...

I can’t h0nestly say what t0 really expect, c0mpared t0 previ0us titles 0f the series. But s0mething new w0uld be nice, and I reck0n that, if it d0esnt det0ur t00 far 0ff fr0m the 0riginal games, that this w0uld be right up the teams alley.

y0u can sign up f0r the alpha here, but n0 guarantees 0f being accepted 0fc0urse. Give it a sh0t, sign up, and see what happens.

I will be keeping a cl0se eye 0n the devel0pment, and if accepted int0 the Alpha, will pass 0n my rec0mmendati0n t0 the rest 0f the team.

Gliese 581 g

Submitted by Hashy on Fri, 01/10/2010 - 17:21

m0rnin,

by n0w I’m sure m0st 0f y0u have heard 0f the disc0very 0f the planet Gliese 581 g. This is a planet that has the “p0tential” f0r sustaining water in a liquid state. Which basically means, it c0uld supp0rt life. But there are many unkn0wns still ab0ut Gliese 581 g

It is t00 early t0 tell, 0r assume, that life c0uld exist there. There are still many unkn0wn critical fact0rs that are yet t0 be determined. But it d0es appear t0 be fav0urable, and it is t0 date the best extra s0lar planetary candidate f0r supp0rting life.

Gliese 581 is a M3V class star. A red dwarf. it is l0cated 20.3-20.5 light years away fr0m us. The planet is estimated t0 be between 3 to 4 Earth “masses”. What this means is, the planet d0esn’t necessarily have t0 be 3-4 times m0re in diameter 0f the Earths. It may very well be 0nly twice the diameter 0f the Earth, which is still pretty big anyways.

Mission to Jupiter Completed

Submitted by Hashy on Fri, 01/10/2010 - 10:51

m0rnin,

I spent the last week 0n an intensive missi0n t0 Jupiter in Orbiter. The wh0le trip t00k m0re then 8 years (I think?) 0f simulated time. This venture made my previ0us Mars missi0n seem relatively easy.

The missi0n was a trip t0 the Jovian System. Touring Jupiter’s 4 maj0r m00ns. The m0thership, the Arrow Freighter, was based 0n Io, Jupiter’s innerm0st m00n, and yes bef0re y0u say it, I am aware there’s s0 many milli0ns 0f amps 0r whatever fl0wing between Jupiter & Io, and that 2001 techn0l0gy c0uld never have survived blah blah blah… The Delta Glider IV visited Europa and c0nducted surface 0perati0ns, and later 0n, visited Jupiter’s tw0 0ther maj0r m00ns in 0rder, Ganymede & Callisto, and dr0pped science pr0bes 0nt0 the surface 0f each.

Orbiter 2010

Submitted by Hashy on Wed, 15/09/2010 - 20:53

m0rning,

Th0ught I w0uld give y0u all the l0w d0wn and the links f0r Orbiter 2010.
This pr0ject has been in devel0pment f0r 10 years, and in the last year 0r tw0 has made many leaps and b0unds. Alth0ugh the m0dding c0mmunity has d0ne al0t 0f hard w0rk, the creat0r 0f Orbiter, Dr Martin Schweiger, has this year helped p00l much 0f the c0llective eff0rts 0f the m0dding c0mmunity, int0 the 2010 0fficial release.
