Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Deus Siddis on June 02, 2005, 05:16:52 am Around the top center of the map.

Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Culture20 on June 02, 2005, 08:22:02 am His riddle says:
Quote The pertinent passage goes as follows `... demise, It(!) basks in yellow light within the eight star constellation of Linch-Nas-Ploh.' We have translated `Linch-Nas-Ploh' to mean approximately `the snake-like creature who has swallowed the elephantine beast.' Semi-Spoiler: Looking at The Original Hyperspace Map (http://www.classicgaming.com/starcontrol/sc2/images/sc2_color_map.jpg), try to find a constellation with 8 stars that looks like a snake with a huge bulge. And, it's not an energy signature... Perhaps this clue is a good reason for a new mod, one which shows the constellations in the game's HS map... Title: Find Creature.

Warning! Warning! Warning! *****((((570.3 x 979.5, planet 1)))***** Watch out, it's freakin' murderous. I sincerly hope you upgraded your lander.

Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Deus Siddis on June 02, 2005, 10:20:54 am Is your avatar really a picture of the creature? It does look a tad like the sprite on the planet.
Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Halleck on June 02, 2005, 10:41:10 am Yes, it is a scaled-down version of Arne's excellent vux beast rendition.

No. Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: vesqu on June 02, 2005, 09:06:38 pm Quote No. Right. You get to fight with infinite numbers of VUX intruders? Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Zieman on June 03, 2005, 02:39:53 am Quote Right. You get to fight with infinite numbers of VUX intruders? That seems to be the case. I tried once to kill 'em all, but got bored (and lost count) soon after 200... Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Deus Siddis on June 03, 2005, 03:55:05 am Anybody who's looked at that part of UQM's code would know. I think they're infinite, though.
Might make an interesting mod to make them limited, but I don't know what could happen next, after you fried a planet's defences. Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Deus Siddis on June 03, 2005, 05:05:45 am Why would the planetary infrastructure be damaged, if you only destroyed the defense fleet?
Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Deus Siddis on June 03, 2005, 06:11:29 am And then you could destroy their cities with your blaster! Haha yes! 8)
I like it. Almost as good as dropping a small planetoid into their ocean. Title: Re: finding the creature Post by: Novus on June 03, 2005, 12:49:40 pm As far as I can tell from the source code, UQM is just reusing the same ship over and over again, switching the captain name and refilling the crew every time around. I think this is supposed to mean that the enemy are building new ships faster than you can destroy them.

I think this is supposed to mean that the enemy are building new ships faster than you can destroy them. That is exactly the point. The ships are not really infinite per se, but they can simply build them pretty quickly :) But of course, the amount of ships a player would encounter trying to fight through the planetary defenses is virtually infinite. Just consider how quickly you can restock your escort fleet at the Starbase.
