Story

TracNav(TracNav/TOC_Development)?

The structure of the Story is pretty loose at the moment. Things written on this page will be put onto different pages and into designated chapters once they're thought out properly and reach a riper state.

Tutorial-Level

The Story starts around Jupiter. The player (insert player name here) arrives in the Jupiter orbit with his pilot steering the ship during the interplanetary travel from Earth to Jupiter. The purpose of the travel is business. The player is working for an engineering company which built a new technology to improve the gas miners. This would be the first test of the prototype under realistic circumstances and in the environment the final product will be used in. The customer is RedGas.

Upon arrival the auto-pilot which assists during interplanetary flights switches into a less restricted state and allows the pilot to navigate freely in a planets orbit. While the pilot of the ship checks the systems, the player is advised to test if the navigation works. This is where the tutorial kicks in and explains the player how to steer the ship.

The pilot would then give green light with the navigation system and advises you to fly to the meeting point. Since the new mining technology was too large for a normal ship, it was brought with a small transporter with which the player is going to meet next.

During the flight to the meeting point the player receives a distress call from the transporter. The pilot enables the weapon systems and the player helps the transporter to get rid of a couple of pirate ships that wanted to steal the technology. The pirates either get destroyed or flee, while one of the pirates may drop a pick up, which will help the player to understand the pick-up system.

The transporter and the player will then join up in a formation (advanced flight training) and fly to a space station of the RedGas corporation and dock.

This will end the tutorial level.

Ideas

Ideas have been collected and whole essays have been written. Still, we must check in how far these can be realized in the game as it is now. Older story-related pages are:
