StormFront 1.0

StormFront allows players to control Ion Storms using ship devices called Graviton Pulse Generators. You can now defend your race from Ion Storms, and even use them to attack other races!

New Friendly Codes

con

If you set this friendly code on a planet, StormFront will send you its settings.

ISF

This friendly code will cause the planet to build a Graviton Pulse Generator. To install the generator on a ship, tell the starbase to repair the target ship.

Ixx

Setting this friendly code on a ship tells the Graviton Pulse Generator to use 20 times xx fuel to increase an Ion Storm's force points by xx. This will only affect an Ion Storm currently around the ship. Also, numbers from 1-9 should be entered as 01-09.

Dxx

As above, except this friendly code converts xx Ion Storm force points to 20 times xx fuel. You must have enough free space in your fuel tanks for this to work.

Hxx

This causes an Ion Storm's heading to change so that it is similar to that of your ship. Set xx to the ID number of the Ion Storm you are trying to renavigate (you must be inside the storm). Requires 200 fuel.

GIS

Use this fcode on a ship to Generate an Ion Storm. Requires 300 fuel.

Player Information

Building a GPG

You can only build a Gravitational Pulse Generator at a starbase that has Tech 10 Engines and at least Tech 6 beams. In addition, only a certain number of GPGs can be built by each race (5 by default).

Required Resources
Tritanium	500
Duranium	500
Molybdenum	750
Supplies	300
Megacredits	10,000

Finally, set the Friendly Code of the planet building the GPG to ISF, and tell the starbase to repair the ship that is to receive the GPG.

 

Using a GPG to Generate an Ion Storm

If the maximum number of Ion Storms has not been reached, you can use a ship with a GPG to create a new Ion Storm.

To do this, your ship must have:

1. 300 Neutronium
2. a heading of at least 5 light years
3. a warp factor of 0
4. friendly code GIS

A new Ion Storm will then be created with the same heading as your ship.
