Pre-Christmas Chat with Aaron

[douglas]

How did this thread manage to fall to page 2? Why didn't it get stickied?

Anyway, I can't make it to the chat, but I have a few questions I'd like answered if someone would ask them for me.

1. How will the AI scripts be structured?

2. Will it be possible to give high-level orders to your ministers, such as "Military Advisor! I want a force prepared for attacking X system pronto! Assemble it one warp point away in Y system."?

3. Will it be possible in the scripts to dynamically create and change data specifically associated with particular ships, systems, and other objects, such as designating a ship as being assigned to the task of protecting a particular system with a specified priority? If so, will orders be available to do such things in game to help the ministers figure out what to do when you give them high-level orders?
