I never actually play the game!
 

I spend quite a bit of time working on Space Empires related things - like my webpage and shipset, mod etc. - but I realized that I (almost) never play the game!

Does anyone else have this happen to them?

By the way check out the Spoogy Federation at http://spoogyfederation.tripod.com/index.html

It's full of fun facts and information about the Spoogy Universe! Be sure to take a good look around!

It's really sad.

I want to play - but I want to play with my finished mods and shipsets - so before I can play I have to finish them.

It's a real mental problem, isn't it?

Re: I never actually play the game!
 

well....yes http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

why don't you play with any of the other mods?
i assume you don't find the standard game satisfactory?

Re: I never actually play the game!
 

I would - except I have so many ideas that I want to put into the game - It's a really mental thing. Oh well, it's easier than programming my own game - and believe me I tried once...

When I first got the game, I played it all the time, now I get to play about 30 min every other day due to making changes to the files all the time.

Yep, my new hobby is strategy game theory now that so much of the game is within my reach. I also spend more time pondering the text files that control the AI than I spend actually playing the game. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif I hope MM will add some new component/facility abilities and new AI options soon. I want the 'programming language' extended. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Mee too. I definitely want to be able to say:
Weapon_hit (attacker, target, weapon)
{
Case weapon_WMG
{
target.takedamage(DMG_NORMAL, 500)
target.takedamage(DMG_SKIPSHIELDS, target.supplies)
target.supplies= target.supplies / 2
}
case ...
...
}

So the WMG detonates Half the fuel & ordinance (supplies) on the enemy ship because of the shakin' going on http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I hate to admit it, but I have this problem too.

I really just want to finish my files so I can get on with playing the game I paid $80 for!
