Re: Ship Talk

What about giving some components an "external" label (sensors, engines, gun-weapons, etc.) that means you don't have to go through the armour to get to them? Also, I'd suggest that armour (and...

Re: Welcome Star Legacy Development Group!

Well I've had a look at population thing and come to the conclusion that you can pick three (and scrap one) of:
- Planet Population (how many people it's realistic for a planet to have to be...

Re: Races

Well the per-turn change would be small, but I couldn't give you an exact figure, because the number of ways you could change the characteristics could possibly be pretty huge, I suspect you'd have...

Re: Races

No, what I was meaning would be like the Characteristics screen in the SE4 Empire Setup section, only with the categories being Racial (covering what is now Environmental Resistance, Reproduction and...

Re: High level design thoughts

One thing that did always get me about Space Empires (and other games that featured similar aspects, like Heroes of Might and Magic) was the whole issue of set research levels. I'd like to see...

Re: Races

What I'd like to see is certain cultural attributes that can be changed during the game itself, such as how good you are at research compared to how good you are at construction compared to how...

Re: Planets and Resources

Nah, if you treat it as a single location how are you supposed to attack any particular asteroid?

There's only a fraction more volume in a 100km diameter asteroid than in a 50m deep (a...

Re: High level design thoughts

Well the variable-between-games tech tree sounds a bit much, but the rest of it is almost doable with Space Empires, certainly the complex tech-tree, some special techs (ancient techs, racial techs,...

Re: Races

Agreed, drop Causticity and Air Pressure, the other 4 are bigger concerns and provide enough complexity.

Well I don't know about SE5, but SE4 got both, levelled sliders for basic attributes, and...

Re: High level design thoughts

Oh right. Most of my experience is with the Space-Empires line, which doesn't have such, beyond perhaps weapons, although I suppose with the modifiability of the game...

Re: Planets and Resources

So if we're sticking 2-3 facilities on an asteroid*, how many on a planet the size of Pluto (~55 times the surface area)? How many on a planet the size of Earth (~500 times the surface area in land...

Re: High level design thoughts

Actually, a better analogy would be the fact that in 1900 cars were powered by batteries or steam as often as petrol.

In a more general sense, he'd like to see a tech-tree where there are, in some...

Races

How variable do we want to make the races/factions, all fixed values, a few pre-game-modifiable options (Space Empires 3), most of the races attributes are pre-game-modifiable (Space Empires 4), or...

Re: High level design thoughts

Okay, this isn't my idea, it belongs to a friend over on spaceempires.net who's having trouble with activating his account here and asked me if I could post it for him.

Re: Planets and Resources

Fine by me, I'm just looking for size thresholds.

How many facilities for those asteroid bases do you think, just 3 or 4?

Re: Ship Talk

How detailed are ships going to be, will you have to have juggle power food and fuel, or just 'supplies'?

Also, one thing I never really liked about Space Empires was the fact that if you wanted...

Re: Planets and Resources

What's going to be the smallest object that we can colonise? Something around the Size of Pluto? Or is it going to be smaller, around the size of 2-Pallas/4-Vesta, or 31-Euphrosyne, or, hells how...
