Merge all files to your artemis_ben folder, overwriting files. "Local Co-Op" is multiple people on one PC, that doesn't really make sense to me given how this game works. Due to the impossibility of modding ordnance in Artemis 2.7.x, if mission_state == 4 then The Relay officer cannot scan ships, however. -- Description: The beacon of light scenario, build from the series at EmptyEpsilon.org. player ships. main_station:setPosition(-25200, 32200):setCallSign("Orion-5") Engines: The left slider controls the impulse engines, from -100% (full reverse) to 0% (full stop) to 100% (full ahead). EmptyEpsilon is a 100% free game. If you don't have enough players (or stations), you can run multiple stations on a single machine by selecting multiple roles in the ship selection menu. We still want the mission to end with an Exuari victory when the player is destroyed, and we also want the Exuari to win if Research-1 is destroyed.

Power Management: The Engineering officer can route power to systems by selecting a system and moving its power slider. Mine() -- A simple mine causes a 1U-radius explosion when a ship comes too close. exuari_RT4_guard2 = CpuShip():setTemplate("Adder MK5"):setFaction("Exuari"):setPosition(3950, 31250):setRotation(180) You can set ships to defend any object, including another ship. We can quite safely assume that the Exuari will destroy RT-4 during mission_state 2. The final part of the filename is for reference only. Can be destroyed. First, let's fill it with some stations, and then add some nebulae and asteroids. neutral_station:setPosition(9100,-35400):setCallSign("Refugee-X")

Now that we know how to create a basic universe and fill it with some enemies, let's start creating a mission. -- Docked and delivered the diplomat. end.

And destroy those Exuari scum while you are at it!]]) shields from 300/200 to 400/300 (600/400 to 800/600 after reverting Start by creating references for the rest of the stations, as we'll need them later on. You need to use the same version number for all users or else the game will not work correctly. We'll do that with a variable to track the mission's current state, and we'll increase it each time the players trigger a new event. This can be vital when assessing a ship's capabilities without a deep scan, or for help navigating a black hole, wormhole, or other anomaly. Deep Scans: A second, more difficult scan yields more information about the ship, including its shield and beam frequencies. But from a 3D view, this asteroid belt looks very flat. Justin. Otherwise, the missile is dumb-fired and flies in a straight line from its tube. research_station:sendCommsMessage(player, [[Epsilon, please come in? Player versions of Terran transport vessels, Science, Luxury, --When Omega station is destroyed, call it a victory for the Human Navy. The best place to talk about bridge simulation and EmptyEpsilon is the Starship Bridge Simulation Network. The launcher is still done by Davesoft.

SpaceStation():setTemplate("Large Station"):setFaction("Exuari"):setPosition(-45600, -15800):setCallSign("Omega") exuari_RT4_guard2:orderRoaming() To kick off this mission, we'll send a transmission from Research-1 to the player, indicating that a transport ship carrying a diplomat was lost en route from Research-1 station to Orion-X.

That's it!

If you really want to mod your Artemis game, you’ll need this program to complete your ship models. Next, we'll script the mission itself.

--Create 100 asteroids. We want the Exuari strike team to destroy RT-4 in front of the players' eyes, so we assign them references and set their orders to Idle so they won't move until ordered. There is an obvious and unofficial style based from the Star Trek series and films.

Let's start setting up the scenario's opposition with 2 cruisers at the lower nebula. This causes them to target and destroy RT-4, then target the player ship. We need to edit the lines that add the player ship to create a reference to it. Coolant Management: By adding coolant to a system, the Engineering officer can reduce its temperature and prevent the system from damaging the ship. Main screen view from a cruiser near a station being attacked by two enemy cruisers. It's pretty good as a bridge simulator, but we had some issues with it that we wanted to fix. after "The Halving" of 4.2.10. I'm sure you'll win -- notice that it doesn't do anything, not even respond to your attacks. Select the scenario and start it, and notice that there a ship for the players is already present.
