Sorry about the ads folks, but the Angelfire people
have forcibly placed ads on every page they host.
I was given the choice of pop-ups vs. inline.
Damn I hate pop-ups...
04/29/01: Now for some regular ol' Fading Suns stuff, not Noble Armada stuff.
I've gotten pretty annoyed of late having to hunt through many books to find
equipment, skills, occult powers, etc. so I've gone and made some big ol'
lists. Here's my first HTML-ified list for you:
equipment. Have fun kiddies! :-)
02/14/01: Hrm, been a long time since I've updated this page and I feel like
I should say something... Sadly, there isn't much to say about the computer
game, as it is still tied up in legal dispute with Ripcord. Sorry no new
technical readouts in forever (almost a year now!), maybe someday I'll actually
get around to completing them. *sigh* Not much else to say, but at least now
you can know this site isn't 100% forgotten by its author.
Noble Armada
I started working for Holistic Design, Inc. in October
of 1998, and have spent most of my time there working on a
computer game called Fading Suns: Noble Armada. It is based
upon a miniatures game that we have on the market called
Noble Armada, which is set in the same universe in which
our role-playing game, Fading Suns, is set.
You can get more info on these products and others on
the HDI web
page. For more info on the computer game Noble Armada,
check out its web
page.
The purpose of this particular web page is to provide
you with screen shots detailing each of the ships in
the game. The images are all from in-game screen
shots. The originals were targa files, but for space
considerations, they were converted to jpg format
(which are all generally between 20K and 40K in size).
This led to some degredation of image quality (the
nebula and planet atmospheres were particularly hard
hit), but they'll still give you a good idea.
