i encourage everyone to read yesterdays anniversary celebration party
many things were announced, including promotions
2 things are new since yesterday
the New Imperium is so excited about our future M/SSD Mustang that they have donated a tremendous amount of equipment
what that means is that our M/SSD is now going to be fully operational in 6 months
<`SF`> Hey, if you want, the nCSA shipyards can manufacture it
August 1 is the new launch date
excellent
the other thing that I have for us
is a meeting bonus
everyone for now on is going to get a 1K bonus just for going to meetings
what that means is that today, only me, Kadann, and MIST gets a 1K bonus in their VE accounts
<`SF`> Is that a lot?
not right now, but eventually it will add up
especially when our store gets fully operational, along with our other things
<`SF`> If my Rep shows up, that counts, right?
yes
<`SF`> Good, because once vacation ends, I won't be able to come to any of the meetings
not a problem, he just needs to tell me who he is
<`SF`> OK
now, I know there are a couple of new things from what Kadann is working on, Grand Moff Kadann?
<`SF`> (I think he's testing the skins I sent you two)

well...just adding more options to the bank.
The army and navy each have their separate administration areas.
that way, they can add/delete/change anything on the army/navy accounts
Now, we have a couple skins done for the VESF....
and would like to thank the MIST corporation for them.
thanks
<`SF`> No problem, I'm just doing my job
oh..and they have completed one multiplayer mission for MOTS
it is really good.
you've played it?
well....you should be seeing some major changes in the VE coming soon (ie. casino/stockmarket/store)
yes
kewl
i will try them all out tonight
they will all be integrated into your bank accounts...so that when you buy things, it will automatically be deducted.

and...that is all i have for today
SilverFox, you have a report? anything new?
<`SF`> Yes, just a sec, have to go check something...
<`SF`> Sorry for the delay.
<`SF`> OK...
<`SF`> As you've mentioned, we've completed the two skins and the first saber arena...
<`SF`> The Sovereign Protector skin is being worked on, as well as the next saber arena.
<`SF`> The yellow stormtrooper is being worked on as well, by Bloodhound, but he's pretty busy, what with school and all.
<`SF`> The Lorn 4 mission is proceeding nicely.
<`SF`> The beginning cutscene is nearly complete, with 3 T/Bs bombing a market-place filled with pirates (and blowing up a house along the way.)
<`SF`> I've started to add houses around the central place, but that's about it.
<`SF`> Progress will be halted for a while; designing a good looking palace is difficult.
<`SF`> I need to get a good idea of the architecture to be used.
<`SF`> If you have something you'd like me to model off of, that'd be great, and make my life a lot easier.
<`SF`> The nCSA will have a page up very soon.
<`SF`> For the moment, a temporary page is at http://ncsa.vr9.com
<`SF`> Nothing much there at the moment.
isn't there a palace of some sort in the game?
<`SF`> I think that's about it.
<`SF`>
hmmmm
<`SF`> Yes, Ka'Pa the Hutt has a palace.
<`SF`> But you never see much of it from the outside.
yeah
<`SF`> And the inside is hardly luxurious.
hmmm
<`SF`> Kinda like Jabba's palace
i thought there was a big palace in the regular JK game
<`SF`> all smoky and grimy and stuff
um...
at the end of MOTS there is
<`SF`> Yes, but again, you almost never see the outside
well..the last level
<`SF`> That's a Sith temple though, isn't it...?
the sith palace...
well...yaeh
<`SF`> bah
but...it could be a palace...from the inside...hehe
<`SF`> You wouldn't find that in a city :P

you have the game Tie Fighter?
there's a picture of a palace there
<`SF`> Yep
i will have to keep a look out for a palace in JK made by someone
<`SF`> Woooaaahh..... I don't think it's possible to replicate the Imperial Palace on Coruscant
<`SF`> there's only a brief view of it in a cutscene
i was thinking of simplifying it
i mean the basic structure, not the detailed part of it
<`SF`> well, I'd need a screenshot of it
<`SF`> and I don't know how to take them in TIE
<`SF`> Plus, I have to find the CD and install the game
hey, what about the birmingham palace in London England?
lol
i always liked the way that looked
<`SF`> what's it look like?
<`SF`>
well we can make it like a regular castle
hehe
but with long smooth walls
isn't there like a palace/castle in paris.?
<`SF`> uhh
<`SF`> There's the Louvre
<`SF`> but it's not exactly pretty
<`SF`> and Versailles is... kinda square
can we use the basic structure and make it pretty?
<`SF`> nothing truly majestous
<`SF`> Possibly...
it deosn't have to be that intense...
<`SF`> I was thinking some kind of fancy, flying butresses and stuff
<`SF`> Hey, maybe like Notre-Dame
there we go
i like that one
versailles is good....if i remember corectly
yeah....notredame
<`SF`> OK, Notre-Dame it is

cool
excellent
<`SF`> Is there anything else? I gotta go pretty soon, I'm connected... clandestinely... :P
our accounts are credited with 1K
ok, log close
thanks SF
