Re: Glorious Stars Play Aid Website - Alpha
This is awesome! Any chance you could illuminate the meaning of the various colored circles with some well-placed tooltips for mouse-hover? My html is pretty rusty these days but attributes like e.g. title="# of circles is the CARRY value; Filled circles are CENSUS value; Solid circles are MORA...

Re: Glorious Stars Intro (feel free to jump in)
Ah, the fiery rhetoric and bold elocution of my fellow Great House delegates warms the very cockles of my heart. I have so missed the well-choreographed play of point and parry, feint and counterthrust. Surely the good Citizen Duedine of House Echelon can agree that the dueling that mighty power see...

Re: May 2013 Development Update
Thanks for elaborating on the "carry" type abilities, especially Tender. You know how I likes my gunboats :twisted: Tender: 2 point cost (tentative), carries 1 CC of starships, can include them for free in combat ... Tender may be increased to 3 points, or else changed so that only 1 CC st...

Jay / MadOgre,

Re: May 2013 Development Update
It should also be pointed out that if a Supply unit is transporting cargo it won't have any room for the supplies. Only empty Supply units get to carry supplies, effectively. Is there a distinction between Supply units carrying Supply and Cargo units carrying Supply? Or is there no ability called C...

Re: The Glorious Stars Playtest
House Phoenix of Arcturus names its two protectorate stars (redact) and (redact), after two of the most prominent dynastic surnames of Phoenix Republic's founding families. :D EDIT: I had a better idea, if it's not too late to change system names. Phoenix's two protectorate territories are Roc and G...

Re: The Glorious Stars Playtest
Here's what I was able to pull out of the forum thread and Yahoo Groups discussion for house name/descriptors: did I miss any?

House Echelon sounds pretty rad.

Re: The Glorious Stars Playtest
Good adjectives! I can run with that. EDIT: This is all describing how the Incorporated Phoenix Republic works internally, while their place in the greater Empire is as a unified member House with the commensurate seat(s) on the Imperial Council or what-have-you; the actual individuals occupying sai...

Re: The Glorious Stars Playtest
Ooooh, this sounds delightful.
Count me in for a minor upstart Rim colony; I'll recycle the Phoenix Republic moniker from past 2E playtests if that's alright.

Re: Initial Builds - Homestretch Playtest
Can we voluntarily "evacuate" Census from the homeworld and resettle them elsewhere, though? One nice benefit of that is that dropping below a certain threshold would decrease the food-per-census cost, thereby increasing the food surplus of the homeworld and allowing yet more outward expan...

Re: Web play aids
This looks great. What's your datasource format look like? DB tables? Flat text file? Excel? Yeah starting to add orbital facilities to this display might get to looking pretty cluttered. If you wanted to be able to visualize the presence of starbases/fixed defenses, you could use upper-facing trian...
