The plot!

FlashTrek: The Burning Horizon.

The year is 2328. You are a young trader of the origins. Unfortunately, this will be a day you remember for the rest of your life! On a routine trading mission across the planet surface in your small cargo ship you almost get hit by a huge beam weapon that comes from the sky to your right. After safely landing at your destination you switch on the world-wide broad-spectrum news broadcast to find that the whole planet is under attack. As you walk out of the small warehouse where your goods are being offloaded, you notice an ominous glow on the horizon. You already know what is happening. The attack is from the Galaxy-feared Microstuff Company. They traced a few thousand crates of stolen goods to your planet and now the whole planet is to pay. You quickly take the money from the transaction and fearing that almost all of the population of the planet is already dead, set off for the stars with few supplies. You must now make a life for yourself among the stars. As you get into space, you dock onto an almost destroyed ship and rescue two people. They are in your debt and promise to work for you for the rest of their lives.

The plot! Preloader

Nice.

Thanks. Post ways to make it better on this topic.

I think you've got it pretty well down-pat, but what are the two other peoples part in the story gonna have as an effect in the game? Something tells me the engine would require you to switch to several menus to control different aspects of your ship, but that's my guess.

I suggest maybe when building your game engine to use a better fleet management menu with buttons that actually work (the search and destroy button doesn't work very well for me XD)

As for the plot, I like it. Can't wait to see who else might come up with something to add on to it. But let's keep the player character unidentified, and his history empty, so it can be made during the course of the game.

The reason for the other two was so you could command how fast you go and the weapons and stuff like now but the fleet management and things like that will be changed.

nice storyline i think the starting ship should have the same defence as the starting ferengi vessel on bm1 with a phaser offcourse

yeah.

you could put like a small cargo-ship with a phaserlike weapon firing near it over a small town, the color scheme could be like a red horizon, and gray ship/town and the phaser could be any color of your choice...

Just a suggestion plz no burn... Smile

As a video or picture?

Interesting plot DD.

if you want a general idea,send me an email at chatter_-boy@hotmail.com, i did it in paint

I have a question! Why did you choose Microstuff as the name of the company your going to fight? I'm not critzicing or anything but I just want to know why.

what about ACME space technologies department?

(everyone who has read comics knows ACME, lol.)

Yeah ACME SPACE TECH would be better. The reason I used microstuff is because it was the only thing I could think of at the time.

Woot! Acme! XD The corporation that makes anvils and explosive things for any sort of need Beer

everybody loves ACME. now for that species name...

yea ill have an anvil as ma main weapon haha borg cube how do u like that anvil lol

I was only asking why not saying that I didn't like it.

well, it could be something more serios than "acme" Very Happy

i have no suggestions im not good with names....

what about the us goverment ohh scary

the US government is not scary... a bunch of old guys talking more than anything else... now for the US president! that's an old fool talking about nothing the whole day too... but, it's an crazy old fool talking about nothing the whole day with a lot of power

I'm creating some basic schematics now, I could prolly post them later this week.

1. That statement doesnt carry a serious tone
2. Seriousness isnt a requirement here
3. You dont have a better idea.

You know what, how about we just keep the name we already have and end this.
