Imperator Fyron

Hey, did you know you still haven't done your 1.67 Bonanza turn yet? It's almost out of time (I think you have until about 9 or 10 EST tonight)

Re: Scientific Questions

You're absolutely right.

I can't believe I screwed that up. That'll teach me to try and show off on the Boards. I'm surprised is wasn't caught sooner ...

Re: By will alone I set my mod in motion (Dune mod ideas)

Oh, one question. Is this a new idea, or have I read this before and forgotten where?

Re: By will alone I set my mod in motion (Dune mod ideas)

I was thinking about the problem of getting one race only to control warp jumps. How about this:

Last night I was reading Dune, and this caught my attention:

Duke Leto: "..Yes, they're big. ...

Re: Multi tracking Problem?

Yeah, I seem to recall having similar trouble with a base I designed somewhere.

I think all the repulsor beams were trying to shoot at the same target. Now that I think about it, it is probably...

By will alone I set my mod in motion (Dune mod ideas)

Ok I've been kicking this around for a few hours, and want to write it down before I forget stuff.

Dune is cool.

A Dune mod could be cool. Here are some things I'm thinking about.

Re: Game Idea--Capitals

Oh, forgot to add something. If you do make starting tech medium instead, it may be a good idea to disallow the racial techs. It might be too much of an advantage to start the game with, say,...

Re: Game Idea--Capitals

Ok, I applied to join the game, but can't post to the forum yet.

I did have a couple of suggestions:

1) Increase the # of ships allowed. If we are starting with 5 or 10 worlds then we will...

Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts

I've always been a bit miffed that remote mining wasn't more useful. I think that probably the best modification that could be made would be to reduce the size of the mining components so that they...

Re: Weapon Platforms - Overly Powerful or Just Balanced?

Also, don't anti-planet drones work really well for attacking well defended planets. Provided, of course, you use a lot of them. Attacking with a combination of drones/ships/fighters etc is a good...

Re: Weapon Platforms - Overly Powerful or Just Balanced?

Can't a single Weapons Platform only target one ship, but multiple WP's should be able to target multiple ships. Unless they all have the same targeting priorities, and all make the same choices.

Re: Scientific Questions

Photons *may* have an infinitesimally small mass, but it could also be zero (it's a topic of current physics research). The problem is that photons travel at the speed of light (by definition) and...

Re: Trade Federation Role Play for Neutral non AI Player

Sounds like the Bentusi from Homeworld/Homeworld Cataclysm.

The Bentusi were nomadic (I think); maybe your Trade Fed should be too.

Also, the Bentusi were near unattackable but had a very...

Re: One thing I really wish we had

In some respects the idea of qualitatively different costs for construction and maintenance doesn't make much sense. S-J, to use your example, surely the intial cost for a psychic weapon like that...

Photons have momentum (although no mass). So when photons hit something, they impart their momemtum to it and push it along. Of course,...

Accountability for abandoning PBW games

Ok, one thing I've noticed on the PBW open games forum is the large ratio of Replacement Player Needed games to New Games.

Clearly people abandon games a lot.

I used to play Diplomacy (an...

Re: Homecoming Game on PBW: Debrief

Re: An extremely silly question, buut...

There isn't really much to stop this happening in a regular game when one player is

a) rich
b) successfully able to remain neutral.

It would be like being Switzerland! You'd also need to be...

Re: An extremely silly question, buut...

Well, if we're talking about a minimum of coding changes to the program, then insert a flag, like

WAS_MOTHBALLED_AT_SPACE_YARD {1/0}

If this is set to 1, then the ship was 'mothballed'. If set...

Re: An extremely silly question, buut...

Geo, the abandon ship order has some merit I think.

You are right that it would be a cheese tactic to be able to reboard the ships at will, but you could make it so that derelict ships have zero...
