~JD~ MTF Moon Rocket with planets and minigames

Thank you for your interest in the JD MTF Moon Rocket project. To summarize this 'project': upon buying the pack you will get the following items

What's new in 1.2
-------------------------

* New destination: Space Station! See the About Space Station
* Space Station features an addictive alien-shooting minigame for 1-X (X can be anything) persons versus alien creatures!

====
Version Update with bug fixes and MARS planet expansion!

What's new in 1.1
-------------------------

* New planet: Mars ! See the About Mars and other planets section.

* Fixed some bugs. (Door opening, sitting bug, better landing.)

* FLY HOME now kills the rezzed planets.

* Easier future updates. You just receive the new planet in group notice and update yourself, see below.

Mars
-------

Please don't start your voyage to Mars at the edge of a sim. Mars is quite large, so you should start at least around the 45 or 210 coordinates.

Please wait cc. 1 minute after arriving until Mars fully rezzes and ceases to be phantom!

Killer rocks game
------------------------

Collect a few friends and invite them to your own Mars planet. Touch the obelisk near the curvy entrance prims. You will get a rain of rocks for 3 minutes. A winner is declared after this period: the one who got the least hits from th raining boulders.

====

* Space rocket (copy, no mod, no trans) - this will take you to the Moon. This means a vertical voyage. The rocket therefore is NOT a freely controllable vehicle, it moves on its own to... the Moon.

* Moon (copy , no mod, no trans) - a relax place with five or six solo and double poses.

* Launch pad

* Terrific sounds and particles for the rocket

The rocket should take you and your partner to the Moon (literally, it will rez a Moon) where you can spend your time together, far from anything.

The Moon is a special megaprim, with craters that have relax poses. The launch itself is a tremendous experience. The rocket can be dismissed after landing. (The landing too is spectacular.)

Note: you must have build permission (apart from 'run scripts') on the land where you intend to launch the rocket.

Introduction
-----------------

We all know how popular Jules Verne is in the steampunk genre or should we say among everyone who is living here the whole 'London by gaslight' lifestyle.

So we had this idea to realize one of his most famous vision about a voyage to the Moon. However instead of taking it as a comedy (projectile propelled to Moon etc.) we constructed a vintage looking rocket (if the term 'vintage' is appropriate here...) that would take you and someone who decided to join you, to the Moon.

For the sake of our project we even wrapped the Moon into the pack that you would visit with the rocket.

Please be on the look for updates, because we suspect that this fine spacecraft will soon be able to take you to further destinations too.

Operating the rocket
----------------------------

When you sit in to the pilot's seat (right click, sit) or touch the rocket after sitting you are presented with the following options:

LAUNCH - Launches the rocket to the destination (currently Moon only) to a certain altitude. Please use PRELAUNCH for making sure all the sounds pre-load.

Destination - Only Moon available at the moment.

Altitude - 1000, 2000, 3000 or 3900 meter. Really independent from Destination.

PRELAUNCH - Initiates a 25 second long prelaunch phase. It helps SL clients to pre-load sounds.

On the Moon
------------------

By touching the rocket on the moon you will receive the following menu:

FLY HOME - the rocket will return to the starting location.

DISAPPEAR - the rocket will disappear into space.

Touch the craters to sit, some has poses in them. If you sit on a crater that might rez a poseball where you can have your partner sit.

FAQ
------

Q: Can I launch the rocket from any type of terrain?
A: Basically, you can. However, only from the launch pad we provide, can the safety of the voyage be guaranteed.

Q: There are no sounds or they arrive later, post-launch
A: Please use the PRELAUNCH feature. Touch the rocket before launch and select PRELAUNCH from the blue menu. It should pre-load all sounds.

Q: Can I launch without using the PRELAUNCH? Because I receive a warning when doing so.
A: Yes, you can.

Q: I'm receiving all kind of messages during flight. What are these and how real are they?
A: These are various announcements about the state of your flight. You can ignore them if you want. And they are not too realistic...

Q: The Moon is rotating!
A: Yes, very very very slowly it indeed rotates. However, if you alt-click on you or on your partner,
the camera stays focused.

Q: Are you planning updates for this? (Like more planets to visit etc.)
A: Definately yes. It really depends upon the customers' feedback.
