Another quick note, then Ogres need their beauty sleep.

I haven't loaded the default ship classes we all get. I probably can, just haven't. If you're lazy or patient you can wait for me, or you can load them yourself for yourself.

So close to giving you all fleets. But I'm struggling to teach myself how to handle the case where I only want to let you change the ship's name, not it's other columns. Need to learn some more about viewmodels it would seem. Something to get me past The model item passed into the dictionary is of t...

Thanks!

The sort is by unit type first. Then by size, so it should always sort... Ships, Flights, Bases, Ground.

You need to be logged in to see this and the edits look like they blow up if you're not me, but because I have a hole in the code, you can see my fleets as they are currently arranged. Does this look like a good interface to you all?

Not as finished as I want, but enough there that I should publish it and let you all see it. So then I discovered it is going to break for all of you when you try fleets or shipyard. Sorry about that.

Fleets create and can be renamed. However, they still have some polish before they are ready for the production server. I need to correct some automatic updates, like moving flagships out of whatever fleet they used to be in when a new fleet is created. Probably also need to take the system selectio...

I just like giving updates I think.

Fleets are coming along nicely. Bunch of code refactored. Family picnic in the weather that Seattle needs to take back, might get it published still this evening if I can get the fleet create, fleet rename, ship assignment to fleet functionality in.

It's been a long week. No update today. I have some sketched out models for how to handle data around orders, shipyards, and trade routes, as well as an empire dashboard. But I'm just been exhausted this week. Good odds I'm giving my notice on Monday and taking on a new job in a couple of weeks. Sor...

No update tonight. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to handle orders.

I had missed some system updates that Jay had sent me for the website. It particularly impacted the great houses with their main system and their unimportant system. It should all match up now with the spreadsheet from May 22.

I'll actually end up pre-loading ships with a database dump. The access now is purely for familiarity and to allow people to give feedback. Having said that, I don't believe I'm as close to being ready with the website as the rules are close to being ready to play. I'm going to be racing to catch up...

Done! Edit/Update: I have the shipyard talking to the database. I want to wire up some other pieces before I publish it. I ended up aligning the shipyard totally vertically. I have the lines wired up for when a ship construction needs more than one berth to be built. Thanks for getting registered, t...

I'm wondering if I take your idea and just lengthen the shipyard so ships are only constructed on one side. Then take the other side and give a summary of the units being built.

Ogres are sleepy. Up too early this morning wanting to work on this. I'm thinking about the shipyard now. Here's the SVG drawing for what I'm thinking of doing. http://vbam2.azurewebsites.net/home/testsvg In general I'm thinking of those ten berths as the ten docks. I'm thinking of representing the ...
