I`ve started working on implementing station interaction system. I hope to figure out how to add 'simple' dialog options to buy/sell various resources. If that succeeds - all of the freighters will suddenly get a new and proper role.

Miners need a few freighters to operate normally (without the need to often interrupt mining process and move to resupply). They consume quite a bunch of supplies per a single day of mining.

BTW, i`m going to add some hidden abandoned stations on the outskirts of factions` space that will contain some valuable stuff (weapons, resources, fuel, supplies and even ship hulls). This stuff might require a freighter or two to load and transport to nearest station.

If i`ll get my trading system up and running - i`ll try to give conversion options to some stations. These conversions will require some resources, that may need an extra freighter in fleet.

For now EACH faction in the game has a fast (max burn 6-8) shuttle, a set of small and medium size freighters, tankers and passenger ships and a mining-capable ship (that converts supplies into different resources). RSF and ISA have cruiser-size freighters (other factions are also planned to have at least one).

Guys, does anybody know how to create a JAR file in netbeans? Or any other program? Its a pain in the **** to figure that out without any idea of what you are doing. Especially with tons of options that NB has...

EDITED:

This issue of mine with JARs is one of the major things that stands between me and simple trading system.

Have a look here for how to do it from the command promt: http://www.wikihow.com/Create-JAR-File.
Eclipse has the ability to export as jar, I guess netbeans has that ability as well.
Also take a look at answer 1 and 2 here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4498047/export-jar-with-netbeans.

Hope that helps.

It's been a while but I think you need to clean and compile it first and then it should be possible to grab .jar from the built folder for the project, will have a look when I get home if you haven't sorted it

Made a simple map of the whole sector: http://www.lordsofthestars.com/other/MAP.jpg

It is just a sketch for now, but the faction`s stars and their positions are final. In fact - all RSF systems, ISA Grant and UIN Centronom, Achiles and Gianopolis are already in the game.

History:

RSF systems are red
ISA systems are white
UIN systems are blue
XLE systems are green
Grey systems are unclaimed, but that doesn`t mean that they are empty

SY - ship yard
TS - trading station
ES - enforcer\police station
MF - mining facility
OF - orbital factory
MB - military base

EDITED: oops, fixed the typo

[Gabriel_Braun]

Typo Okim:  you have start instead of stars in that linky

Thanks )

Sooo, who controls the Sol system?

[Okim]

FSS - Free States of Sol. That`s a very minor, but extremely wealthy and influential faction.

Or i just can make Earth an uninhabitable world that is long dead:)

[Gabriel_Braun]

Wasn't it the super-authoritarian security and heritage council?

Edit-  Whoops, beat me to it
It's a sad day at work when I'm pretty much mashing F5 on forums lol

Well in that case I'm looking forward to reclaiming the glorious motherplanet in the name of the RSF.

Wasn't it the super-authoritarian security and heritage council?

Is that a reference to something? It feels like it is, but I can't really place it.
