"Drift Mine Detected!"

"Standing in this room are half a dozen SEALs who are looking for an excuse to kill you. I'm one of them. But I've got alot of respect for what you've been able to do. So off the record, son, I've got news for you...."


Thanks to Jed Smith and Adam Liddel , developers of the Omega plug-in, for developing some cool outfit graphics for me. The EV-style quad outfits represent their work. They are also the creative minds behind the Locust Heavy Fighter, which I later re-drew due to an odd quirk that made it appear wavy on my machine. They created the new picts for the Joint Strike Fighter (formerly JLF), Monitor, Fast Courier, Short-Hauler, Bulk Freighter, Argonaut, Corvette (new), Pirate Corvette/Commerce Raider, Pirate 'Wight' Cruiser/Commer Raider, Turbolaser, Sentinel ADS, Courier, and Sentinel Missile, all of which appear in beginning in release 1.7. Their new hangar picts appear for the first time in v1.8. You may visit their website by going here.

Thanks to Donald G. 'Oops da Ogre' Bixler , my beta tester. Donald continually reviewed the plug-in and constructively criticized my work. He brought out numerous points regarding the mission sets that improved play. In sum, he reviewed 5 iterations of 'Pale' when it was in its early alpha stage. And that's alot of work!

Thanks to Matt Dailey . Matt created the picts for the Static Mine Bay, Static Mine, and the 'Streak' Torpedo Launcher and associated graphics. He also re-rendered or created the graphics for the mod-Confed cruiser, mod-Rebel cruiser, Rebel cruiser, Confed cruiser, Confed frigate, Rebel Destroyer, Kestrel, mod-Kestrel, Argosy, mod- Argosy, Guard-Kestrel, sub-Kestrel, and numerous bolt graphics.

Thanks to Toffe , the creator of the EVGE plug-in, for his assistance. The Pale Destroyer, Pale Frigate, and the Patrol Cruiser represent his work. I also borrowed several sound resources and bolt graphics from EVGE.

Thanks to Ian 'eeun' Raymond. Ian designed, provided, and/or revised numerous ships for me. The Container Ship, Secure Transport, Ore-Hauler, Strike Cruiser, Hunter Battleship, Hunter Redwing, Rebel Striker, Research Ship, and Locust Heavy Fighter picts were created or modified by him. The big sprite at the end is his, too. All the new outfit picts, with the exception of the ones mentioned above, are his.

Thanks to Bill 'The Old Professor' Howland, PhD . Bill wrote the Lethe-Cydonia War mission set and gave me some good pointers. He's a great mission writer and his scenario fits seamlessly into the story setting.

Thanks to John 'AJ' Talcot, 'Demi-Demon' (probably not his real name), Erik 'Hellhunter' Sogn, Bill 'Stinger' Gunty, Oleg 'TerraNov' Eremenko, and 'Mad Cow Disease' , for their comments and beta testing. And thanks again to Oleg for making a cameo in my plug. No cows were harmed in the making of this plug-in (and no sheep were cloned).

Thanks to Kris Hauser , for his willingness to let me use two sound resources from SW2: NR.

Thanks to Michael 'Mike' Boksanyi , for building this web page for me, teaching me the rudiments of html, and making the intro music.

Thanks to Eric 'Hell Hunter' Sogn and Aaron 'Kelaarin' Harrison, for their work on porting Pale to the EVO engine. As of 7 May 1999, it's not finished, and probably won't be for a few weeks.
