hello friends and players alike
I apologise for a delay in responce to your questions, but for some reason or another the forum was playing up yesterday, so I was unable to post.
In this post I'm going to do two things.
1. Answer questions.
2. Catch y'all up on announcements:
Part 1.
@Dark
To answer the first question no. The soundpack link does change, but it is always up-to-date in the @soundpacks command, so you could advise to perhaps type that?
Secondly, help files are always being updated, and we do our best to make peoples experience as stress-free and easy as we can.
@alisson
There is no mush pack for the game currently, more because I can not use the client, let alone make a pack for it.
Part 2, announcements, you are gonna love these!
nate: a belated good afternoon to you all. This announcement brings 3 important changes to cosmic rage, which with any luck, everyone will like! Change number 1. A new activity! I bring you... Star coring. In this thrill seaker activity you have the opportunity to capture the extinct core of a star and do one of the following to it: 1. extract gas from it for use in gas giant atmospheres. 2. harvest minerals from them, of which there are tuns. 3. annalyse them for star data, which you can give to the npc on science core hq, 4. split them into star chunks, for transfer. 5. all of the above! The rewards in this activity, as said by the player who tested it are, "haut!" It is one of our highest level activities, but really is great fun to do and carries both danger and fun with it. To view help on that activity, type ahelp list and ahelp star core. Change 2. Skyjumping. This is the first of two minor time take ups we have added to cosmic rage. Ever wanted to go skydiving? Ever wanted to be shot hundreds of feet up into a gas giants atmosphere, with only a suit and a generater to keep you safe? ever wanted to have only 5 seconds to type a command before your character starts heading to his or her death? Then this is for you! In skyjumping, you are literally shot into a planets atmosphere from a platform and do literally have only five seconds to type the command, now!. It doesn't gain you a reward, but is a real heart thumper for those thrill seakers. Type help skyjumping for more information. Change 3: Furniture creation. If the top 2 didn't interest you, maybe this third and final one will. Do you like customising? do you like making up stuff as you go along? Do you have an idea for a piece of furniture, but the game just doesn't have it? Not a problem because now we do, or rather, you do! Found on gas giants, furniture creation labs give you the ability, providing you have 10 pieces of wood, to create your own customised furniture. This could be a chair you could not sit or lie on, only curl up on, or a sofa bed that you can only lie on. What ever the taste, it is very simple to do, and sure to please all! For more information on this crafting activity, type chelp furniture. Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
nate: Hello folks! You're not going to believe it, because I know I certainly don't! So earlier today, you remember we released a new higher-level activity? That was unfair to you middle level players, right? those ones finding it hard to level? Not a problem. I bring you, at long last, our second activity of the day: City researching! Finding out about the human races past is facinating, especially after so much data and so many lives were lost in the great disaster, not to mention the pollution catastrophy on earth. Due to this, we cling to any possibility of finding out facts and under water cities are one of these ways! The activity consists of you going into an underwater city and exploring the randomly generated area, finding artifacts to give to the npc researcher but beware! There are two dangers in this activity: 1. Monsters, they're everywhere, and they're nasty! 2. Waves. Did you know that in storms, waves are above and below the water, well if you don't, you do now! Because of the disturbances you cause in the water with your energy dome, huge waves are going to try to throw you about every 60 seconds, so you have to be quick on your commands! Please see ahelp city research for more information on this activity, and I really, really hope you enjoy!
nate: hello folks! It was recently pointed out to me that the galaxy spread here was more than slightly scueued compared to the size of stars. That is why I have now added two or three more galaxies, and expanded them so that sectors are smaller than galaxies by a longshot. Here are the current galaxies in space. Remember, info about the sectors galaxy and solar system is found by typing scan sec. Galaxies: the milky way, The herpafulous galaxy, The purding galaxy, and The nitsorifan galaxy
nate: hello folks. I've just added a new posibility for our stars. Ever used a plasma cannon? Ever run out of plasma, and gone, seriously, now I gotta buy a cannister and asdfasdfasdf. WEll, now, with the plasma refill net upgrade, you are able to go into a stars coordinates and begin refilling your plasma hold, directly from the star itself! The commands are refill-plasma, and refill-abort. Enjoy!
nate: hello folks! The long awaited big change is here! I bring you, cosmic rage's take on starship components! AS you might have seen, your components have been split into about 10 or so various types of component. AS these components get damages, your ship will start acting up in one way or another. See shelp starship components for more information on that. Note: They only get damaged once defensive armour has fallen. What is unique about this, however are thus: 1. They are repaired at battle stations. You must take your ship to the battle stations and repair them there. 2. They can be upgraded to a massive strength of 50,000 units! AS requested the damage screen only shows damaged items now. It should be noted that, if your hull gets to 100 percent, your ship will explode. I hope you enjoy this new exciting thrill that we have added to starship combat, and I seriously look forward to the ideas you guys come up with to make it up to our high standards. Enjoy!
WE also now have htpl's. Taken from the help file:
HTPL stands for host to player liaison.
What they are:
1. Planners, HTPl's plan events with one or two hosts and come up with new roleplay tools or new ways to roleplay. These include items, events and character interactions.
2. Communicate: They are there as a step between player and host. They are there to comfort and to sooth, or, if you are angry but afraid of being rebuffed by the hosts, they are there for you to approach so they can raise your issue with the hosts. This can be annonimously.
3. To work out. Not all hosts have player characters, simply due to the time and effort they put into the game itself and so we can not always accurately gage peoples reactions to new systems, or a change. HTPL's are there to tell the hosts "That works" or "the players hate that, change it."
Finally, as if all this was really not enough reason to play, here are some recent statistics drawn from the game:
1. We have exactly 45 activities as of the writing of this post.
2. The activity range is from 1 to 1100, though that activity scales right up to 1400, make of it what you will.
3. WE are one of the only, or perhaps the only, space moo's to boast nearly an entire earth solar system, I say nearly, because venus is still missing, owed to the need of an event and it to be built.
4. All planets in earth's solar system now have accurate size in meters, plus some public information on them that is accurate in todays world.
5. Cosmic Rage has 3 game modes for you too choose from, and an offer of giving you the ability to have more than one character.
Thanks for reading!
