New PBEM/PBW Game: Adamant 011

[Fyron]

So we need a new replacement player... one that is willing to take a bit of time to learn the mod, or just rough it as you go.

not again!
hell, its not like its that hard to take one turn at a time!
for movement all you need is a calculator.
just multipy the number of engines*suplyusage*movementperturn = suplys used per turn.
(is that how its worked out fyron?)
then you just add your suply storage (or take engines off) to get the range you want.

Yes.

And notice how hard is make fast long range colony ships.

[se5a]

nooo!! its simple!
just make a transport with the same movement points as your colony ship and fill it up with suplys.
of if its earlyer in the game use a scout.

Edit: and fleet it with the colony ship.

No supply problem then. But it's still difficult to make the colony ship fast. If you squeezed it almost full of engines you'd need a entire fleet of supply ships.

Hmm... maybe I should come up with some sort of ship range helper program... you choose the tonnage, the desired range, the desired speed, and your propulsion tech level, and it tells you how many engines and supply storage to put on! Should be simple enough... (Of course, if you take into account solar sails and hyperdrives... )
