Okay guys….here’s the way I see it.
We have a Strategies menu that is not simple because of its many permutations and combinations.
That is difficult enough. But it is also difficult to test, because I understand the “Simulator” of the Designs tab (F3) leaves much to be desired.
So we can stumble around with me thinking the world is the top half of the shell of a living tortoise (India belief), you guys thinking the world is flat and a few knowledgable people thinking it is round.
So I suggest we do something about it.
So here are my thoughts for you to slash, bash, agree with or do with as you wish.
1) We need to get Malfador Machinations attention:
I propose to get it by starting a new thread entitled
Quote:
|
MM, help us…information wanted on Battle Strategies.
|
The first message of the thread would say something like this…
Quote:
PETITION TO MALFADOR MACHINATIONS
The "Strategies" menu of the Empire Status tab (F11) requires us to make many choices. Many of us feel that we do not have a clear understanding of the effect the choices we select will have on the battle to be fought.
We seek clarification of the effect the choices have on the behaviour of the fleet/ships.
This petition is designed only to acquaint Malfador Machinations with a need they may not be aware of, so please keep your response as brief as possible, preferrably in a Yes/No format.
Any comments, thoughts or otherwise can be directed to the "Understanding battle strategies...newbie question" thread.

So when MM gets this petition from 50 or 100 people then they will have to at least take notice.
It will also serve to clarify whether there is actually a need for the information before we go much further.
2) We decide who is to “chair” the presentation. My own personal choice is Fyron, but being a newbie, there could be a better person. We would, of course, require the agreement of the individual of our choice. By “chair”, I mean "hearing our requests" and putting them into some sort of organized format. Just asking for information, may not be enough…only we know what we need to know.
3) The “chairperson” will then approach MM with the petition and his presentation for information.
If you guys want, I can get the ball rolling by creating the petition.
