Phoenix Mod
-
The story so far…
Sirius is recovering from the after effects of the Nomad War. Normal life is starting to resume and old rivalries are resurfacing. Naval forces from all the major houses regularly patrol their space and it seems their presence is both approved and resented, depending which side of the fence you’re sitting on. Some see it as an excuse for more money to be spent by governments on their armed forces, the various governments see it as securing their space… just in case the Nomads should return.
Rumours of more intense battles in the Omicron sectors between the pirate factions is standard chat at most bars. It seems these deadly pirates have not been idle during the Nomad war and have been salvaging some of the larger fighting ships left floating around after some of the great battles that were fought, and have been refitting these ships for their own uses.
Even more bizarre rumours circulating are that a fully intelligent simian race has been discovered willing to trade with humans, although that story might be a little bit too much to believe. Having said that, a new beverage is circulating out in the outlying sectors which is proving most popular, allegedly made by these same simians and named banana beer. Those that have tried it apparently found it a very fine brew indeed. None has reached the inner systems in Sirius yet, but large profits are to be made by those that can get hold of any. So the story goes…
A new era of exploration is underway, with new systems to discover and people to meet, items to trade or relieve somebody of.

You never fail to impress mate. ;D

Yeah, there was in the past a “Phoenix RPG Mod” - I did some work with the lead developer ww2Jacob, which is how I came to know of the project. Sadly, it is no longer around, as virtually the entire team has (to my knowledge) since moved on to other things.
Looks like a good start (cap ships are always fun) - you never posted more details though. =P

While i’m working on my other mod, Galacticum, thought i’d resurrect my Phoenix mod to give the server something to do. Fixed a few bugs, most notably in SP, and a number of other things that were irritating me. The new version will be 1.05 and will be uploaded as soon as i’ve finished testing it. Probably be a day or two
