And notice how hard is make fast long range colony ships. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011
 

nooo!! its simple!
just make a transport with the same movement points as your colony ship and fill it up with suplys.
of if its earlyer in the game use a scout.

Edit: and fleet it with the colony ship.

No supply problem then. But it's still difficult to make the colony ship fast. If you squeezed it almost full of engines you'd need a entire fleet of supply ships. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hmm... maybe I should come up with some sort of ship range helper program... you choose the tonnage, the desired range, the desired speed, and your propulsion tech level, and it tells you how many engines and supply storage to put on! Should be simple enough... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif (Of course, if you take into account solar sails and hyperdrives... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif )

Has this game gone to Christmas break?

Re: New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011
 

I was working on a new Version of the mod, then got siderailed by family... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Tomorrow hopefully. Now is time to sleep. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011
 

OK. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011
 

Say, this game's beta testers haven't made it into the credits yet... I'm also in Adamant 010 but not everyone else is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

edit: oh yeah, if you're making a new Version, I might want to report this "bug" I found when creating the QNP helper program - Magical races don't seem to have any equivalent to the Inertial Flux Engine series. Or was that intentional?
