Corporate information

Metelson industries has a long history, however it wasn't till the past 300 cycles that it's developed to a point of rivaling with the TriTachyon. Developed Pre-Collapse, as a budding Rim-world mining corp. Metelson's had a humble start as a tool and Vehicle company for old mining techniques that required such tools or variations. As space mining was not always practical and sometimes still isn't.

As the Collapse happened, the company dwindled to a good few on the planet Ragnus where they had last planted a foot-hold. A new company head was founded there and from the Collapse till now, the company has continued to run and  go through development.

The First major step, however, into becoming a power to rival that of the Tri-tachyon in their local system was that of the production of Space-Mining Articles of custom design and Implementation. With the ubiquitous PDA of the Tri-tachyon, it was difficult to produce such things, but. It was done and soon, Metelson Modified Hounds came from Ragnus and had a good kick to them, as poor as they were.

it was during these past 70 cycles, that Metelon's might and true developmental power had risen! Armed with miners and honest people of all sorts (including otherwise unsavoury characters). Metelson Industries has since been able to hold their own system and grew to have taken it over when the independent government fell-out.

Though a Corporation, Metelson's founder believed in a Democratic-republic. So, naturally, it would be a democratic republic as well that would come. But, as Ragnus developed from mass riots and worse, Metelson's showed it had a Communist method of Governing during times of crisis.  During the first 30 cycles of Ragnus's repair an rebuilding it was a lenient Communistic (more socialistic)  Rule with Martial Law put into effect as needed. When Metelson Industries felt ready, the new Governments were put into place, and Communistic rule was phased out to a now fully Democratic Republic of Ragnus. The republic being governed in territories across the planet. Each territory being an Independent body, but, all answering to The Metelson council when push came to shove.

As it stands today, Ragnus is a thriving Arid world, orbiting a red dwarf. With a heavy mining ethic and Culture. Much of their ships are made to be easily seen as the tools used often result in explosive results or otherwise. However, simply because they are seen, doesn't mean they can't see you just as well.

It's be quite a while and during that time I have been working on the mod. Not as much as I should've been. The mod is NOT going to be dying, or going to be changing hands (oh hell no). I have seen that in the near future I need to work more on the mod as it stands to prepare it for SS further down the line.

To that end I'm going the route of THI.
I am going go away for a bit.
I am going to be a hermit.
I will make the mod.
I will do it quietly.

Why? Well, the mod at the moment is a large amount of stress. The mod is a small but potent part of my life. It is something that I love dearly and frankly have been enthusiastic about developing. However, seeing the mod and comparing it to others... I'm well aware it's not the best or the worse.

But I want it to be better. Some of the best work I made on my mod was when I was financially stable, working, and had a routine. At the moment, I have only one of the those three. I'm working, I'm working to be stable and to have a routine. Basically I'm looking to get a stable life.  I have other things I want to do, and things I need to do. The mod is something I want to do. Dwarf Fortress is a thing I want to do. I want to develop more as an artist- maybe make a few ship-girls.

If I keep worrying about how people are playing the mod, if the mod is doing well in the tournament, among other things I have going. The mod simply stalls.

I'll be back with the mod at some point in the next year at most, at least, in the next 6 months an update will be produced. In the near furture I'll push out a few final updates, but, otherwise...

I'm going to go away.
I'm going to grow.
I'm not gone.
I'm working.

I'll be working on Dwarf-fortress, that's still fun and I've a few ideas for another mod later down the line. So... I'll still be working. I'm still here. Just... Not going to be posting in this thread so often.

That is all.  April 20th, 2018

Mod pros and cons~! For poops an giggles
Pros                 
Simple to pick up and install
Small and manageable
Ships are varied and have a style aiming for Vanilla
NEXCELERIN SUPPORTED
Generally Midline with a great focus on Frigates and Destroyers


cons                 
The Mod does NOT add- nor aim -to add significantly flashy affects, effects, or ships, an can be somewhat boring.
The Mod tries to be small.
Very VERY crew strict, would recommend Blast-Doors as well as a Shuttle to hold crew. The Pala, Mudder, Mite, and Roma work well for this, as well as certain larger ships.

      . Several ships have been removed.

      . Market conditions readjusted slightly and Rock ring-system toned down somewhat (only ONE asteroid-ring is needed Azmond, holy crap).
      . Added a new outpost in Tyle called Voutyro that orbits around Kardara (may develop this into a seprate planet with a moon).

[Sabaton]

If you want to make such a faction you might have to wait, another modder by the name of Okim came to the same realization that if you explore the industry branch at some point the game will override your work as development progresses.

[Azmond]

It's not going to add much to the game except for more Mining pods really and a more Industry centered faction. Most factions are military based or have little to no utilitlitaryian ship-roles. So, I was wanting to make a Mod that would offer ships of such nature, cheap annoying flying mining pods that're basically flying coffins. xD

And big hulking carriers to support said annoying-coffins.
It isn't going to add anything to the branch (it may use from the industy branch when development comes but for now it's just a faction in mind.)

[Debido]

Just because it's industrial, doesn't necessarily mean it can't deal damage. I'm fairly sure there are all manner of size of asteroid mining blasters, orbital drilling platforms and planet cracker class ships designed to reduce Corvus into usable construction materials.

[Sleepyfish]

I loved Keptin's Orbital Planet-crackers from his Interstellar Federation mod. I totally agree with massive mining station fleets composed of a large station+mining laser and a bunch of smaller mining vessels. So...

GET BACK TAH WORK!

[Debido]

Have a look at ICE's Kelpie for a laser cutter, maybe you guys could have a rig with an animated drill/grinding stone/saw technology thing to do some nice melee damage with.

[Azmond]

i just got home~! AND fugdenutters! Thanks a lot for the support guys!
If anyone can help us out PLEASE, by all means do, I'll post my sketch ideas and start an actual mod fourm when i'm able.

And you may be onto something debido, and thank you three for posting so far! a post is MUCH MUCH more appreciated and excitement educing for me~!

I've done some work on the spade an so has my brother, but we're not spriters or coders. I can do some good work and will likely get better. But some things still need help. either way.
off to bed at this moment in 7/1/14  02:00

[Azmond]

OKay. so i've made progress and have put together the Nota Mining Pod. it was orignal the Nut pod, but, yreah. That was cheesy. =3= and not he good cheesy from the 1980's either...
So, it's the Nota mining pod. I've also used some of my good drawing papter to make the line works for a heavy destoryer class carrier called the Lead. as in lead pipe. The name is simply Lead.
for now here're 2 of the ships as well as the first drawing of the Nota Mining Pod, and finally the end prodcut that came from the picture.

The images are here in order for the most part.

Though it seems i've no idea how to use the image tag...  So i've had to just upload them as an attachments but even has been giving me issues. So, here's the Anthrom and the Aenet. = ='

Those images are not working because they link to a webpage, not directly to the pictures themselves...

[Azmond]

again, never used the tag till now.
thank you mesotron~!  ^ ^

[Farlarzia]

Non of those images work for me, they show the corrupt image icon, and upon trying to open them manually give me a 403 error, saying its forbidden

[Azmond]

Okay if that doesn't fix it I'm going to be just uploading down-sized pictures of the art.
and even that sucked~!!! @[email protected]

[Farlarzia]

That fixed it, but we seem to be missing the Nota Mining Pod now, not sure if that's on purpose

[Azmond]

I couldn't get it to work, or otherwise, so... I just uploaded the Anthrom and the Aenet as down-sized attatchments... = =;
here's the nota drawing and the nota pod end-prodcut (so far)
