You are probably correct...but it easy to confuse the concept...

As for damage, I'm not sure if your using a scale...I'll make some notes as I play, and we can disucss some ideas/concepts later...

Yes, depending on what edition you are using it should match what is in the game. There will be some differences because of the flexibility SE5 allowed me when assigning damage over ranges. However, the base range at damage is from canon x10.

I am currently reading "In Death ground". I got "The Shiva Option" years ago and read IDG once from the library but I decided to use Christmass money to buy the first one.

I'd love to see how Closed warppoints are handled.

I always imagine Bug warships to look like this

I couldn't model closed warp points for several reasons. Off the top of my head; The AI will still path even if a warp point is given a "cloak" sort of ability/effect. Any player that comes out at the closed end of a warp point still won't be able to see it, they would need to write down its location and keep track of it that way. That would be a pain in the butt! Also a player can cheat to find closed wp's the same way the AI would, just give a ship movement orders and wait to see if it passes through the closed end of a wp.

That's a nice model, if you are feeling generous I could really use some art and beta testing help. An opening logo or even ship sets would be too sweet. As it stands now I am using stock items and not looking at learning the art side until later next year. Can I still say next year with only an hour and ten minutes left or should I say this year?

Oh, by the way, as soon as I can get SE5 working on my computer, I wouldn't mind helping you with beta.

In case you haven't noticed I have started a story line based on this mod. The story is called simply enough "Empires". If you have read the books but never played the game most items won't ring a bell at this point. I think Crusade is the first book in the story line chronologically. The books themselves aren't in order with the game history. Anyway if you have Crusade that takes place around High Tech 6 and the Tal-Re Republic; which the story line revolves around, is only high tech 1 right now.
