Hello all,
I'm trying to find out if anyone has implemented a system like what I have
in mind, if you have could you send me an email? :) Here's an Example:
P.S This system is rough drafted and doesn't include -everything- I've
been dreaming up. For instance, larger class ships that require multiple
stations to operate are not going to have this display since they are
commanded and their crews each have individual stations in which they must
operate their controls with different displays and things of that nature.
Ship Owner: Riodan Callsign: [ Bravo 1 ]
Ship Type: [ Incom T-65B X-wing ] SN: [ 000001 ]
X 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

The basic idea is to have an Ascii based map for spaceflight and travel
however the actual individual coordinates will only be called upon if
someone is occupying that particular coordinate and/or a planet or fixed
item assigned in olc resides there. Originally I was told this type of
system not only wouldn't work but wasn't even a remotely cool idea, but
imho I think the system is great and it should be utilized.
If anyone out there in Circle land finds this idea to be one which holds
interest and they are a true to the word programmer which would like to
help, I'm in need of such a person and such a team. :P
