Thanks for the great and informative feedback, Henk.
Glad the AI is researching better in the 2nd game. Honestly, I hadn't really known how to reply to the first report. But yeah, small Galaxy and monsters could easily throw the AI off-balance I assume. Killing fledgling research worlds very fast, and not letting the AI get a foot on the ground. And also glad the Cue Cappa managed to give you some troubles
. Looking at your scores it did seem to me you invested a bit too much into research and not enough resources to maintain a large enough standing fleet. Serves you right =P.
Keep us posted how the 2nd game goes, if you feel like it.
That applies for everyone, of course. There have been some extensive changes to to-hit chances, seekers and fighters. So looking for feedback and insights on that, but anything else as well really.
As for new versions... well, let's just say I hope it doesn't take over 2 years again. But I wouldn't expect anything for the next couple of months either. Apart from small typos, fixes, or any glaring mod breaking errors that have not been found yet.
and David! I knew you'd be lurking around somewhere... but I had no clue you were hiding in THIS thread
. I hope everything is well on your end. And thanks again for the pixel work tutelage. You will find some of your artwork that you sent to me oh so long ago in this new version.
