I just added some new rock walls. I think they came out pretty nice.

Young Joe is lucky I don’t have a time machine
Going through the mission scripts, I found something so weird and bad that I can’t believe it hasn’t been noticed before. Apparently at some point in time I decided that faction missions shouldn’t scale by the PC’s renown; instead, each faction has an independent difficulty counter that increases each time the faction loads a new …

Standardizing Missions
One problem in GH1 is that there is no rhyme or reason to the mission rewards. The cash prizes and other bonuses don’t strongly correlate with the risks and requirements of the job. As I’ve said before, I was just making things up as I went along. Here’s what I think should be the new …

Being a cavalier is more than simply being a pilot; it is a way of life, a statement of personal freedom, and quite often a …

It is the wealthiest corporation on Earth, and consequently one of the wealthiest in the solar system. Tybog Kettel was a warlord in the …

Shuttle Service Interface Done
The shuttle service has been updated to the new SDL UI system. As far as I know, this means that everything has been updated, though not everything looks good yet and I’ll probably have to move some things around. This interface includes a picture of the destination town. For now, it’s just a screenshot of …

Skill School Updated
The skill trainer interface has been reworked, and it is now possible to purchase skill training for your lancemates by pressing right or left to cycle through them. The best part: this also works in ASCII mode.

CBG-87 Ice Wind
The Ice Wind is a light general-purpose battroid produced by Cobolt Battle Group of Wujung. It comes equipped with twin laser cannons and a variety of externally mounted weapons. Despite being the second most common chassis in the solar system, the Ice Wind is not popular with pilots, and is frequently denigrated as a “henchman’s …
