Lancer's Reactor wishes all pilots a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

UnderVerse 2.28, available now at • The Underverse by Team [RIP]

We have a new type of Planet located inside our new 109th System. Introducing Planet Illumnion...
The Exterior, Interior and Base are made up of 154 individual parts, necessary to obtain solidity for flying 'inside' a structure.

This shows some of the 20 kilometers of cave inside the Planet.

And a quick fight in the cave...

Here is the Base located on the North Pole of the Planet.

This is the first late release I have had in 19 years of level and mod building, sorry for the delay. I had to overcome many Freelancer limitations to build this planet and interior cave system.
I figured out the multiple-point problems and then later the multiple-near-point problems. Getting the sur files to work (what gives a wall its solidity) was a nightmare but it is fairly solid now. And don't get me started on the parallel-sur-lag issue, heh.
Because of the aging Freelancer engine, the caves are necessarily simplistic in design. I wish I knew how to smooth out the lighting better but if I add more lights in the system then the Flare gun and other guns that emit light stop working.
I have many ideas for future builds of the UnderVerse, I hope you enjoy this one.

Release Notes:

New sounds and trail effects have been added to some of the engines.
Each of our 125 shipa now have customized fuses for sparks, smoke and flame.



Every ship now has a visual explosion with varying colors.

The updated universe maps (Dwn's printable one and Soup's pretty one) are now in the mod...[Read on]

The Lancer's Dream is a long term project initiated by me with the objective to convert the Lancer universe into a different game engine. As you can see in the first tech demo above the resources of the Continuum mod have been shifted over to this new project. As we are at a very early stage of development it is not possible to give you that much information about the final game. Infact it is very hard for us to tell which features will be in the final release, as this project is developed bit by bit while we are currently working on the graphics, physics and general gameplay.

With this project we want to create a Freelancer type game that is actually even based on the Lancer universe if Microsoft gives its ok. However, this decision has only influence on the plot of our game.
More information about this project, screenshots and probably even more ingame footage will be published here in the next months.
