Re: Operation: Eternity

I liked it a lot too. I don't know that I imagined it might be gone. Having said that, I think your game is stronger with it out. The randomness of the system generation made getting a "extraordinary" planet fairly rare with both in there. And I think you can more adequately simulate a gar...

Re: Operation: Eternity

Thanks!

I'm curious how the lack of a BIO stat will turn out. So far, I think I like the simplicity.

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

Star Map (not published to Azure ... yet.) now correctly displays system names and jumplanes where you have either a settlement or a unit. I need a good chunk of time to build out the next section. Want to have the fog of war active. That will mean essentially developing and building in the idea of ...

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

Also. I am not a web designer of any note. I'd continue to be very interested in feedback (or HTML/CSS) from people who would have a strong preference or desire to see screens laid out in a particular way.

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

No stretch goal. Got to where the the player only sees the jumplanes for the star systems where they have settlements. Still need to add code and data structure for them to continue to see jumplanes that they've explored, even if they don't have a settlement in system.

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

More coding tomorrow. Goal is to get individual star cluster generation up, so that you can start seeing your own game on the Azure site, instead of all of us seeing the same set of stars. Stretch goal to allow for players to invite other players to participate in their cluster as a shared experience.

Re: Second Edition is Coming June 2014

If I pay for it now, can I get access to the drafts so I can work on the play aid? :lol:

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

If you want to tool around in the galaxy map I have on the public site, you're more than welcome. Most of the functionality will be broken, and all of the database will be wiped in the next week or so.

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

I decided on Choice #2. Got to spend pretty much all day coding, wife was feeling generous. Starships that get too close now both engage and disengage based on sensors, stance, and status. Which is to say when I threw a Destroyer, Destroyer Escort, and Corvette at a Cruiser, the smaller ships spotte...

Re: Interested in web tool feedback.

Another question while I am asking them... Do you like the jump lanes hid until you explore or settle a system, or are they better fully transparent? Personally, I think I like the discover method. But I can see where that is a lot easier for my web play aid than it is to administer on pen and paper...
