Default Re: Using Stock shipsets for PBW games...

Good idea. I have always wished the stock shipsets were in the list when uploading your empires.

Something that would make that picklist easier: Sort the shipsets alphabetically. It is hard to find the shipset you are looking for. And when the shipset is not in the list it is especially hard to determine that.

Which brings up my next point...what's the possibility of adding all the shipsets that came on the Gold CD to PBW? I decided to use the Ghizrea shipset from the AndresLescanoRaceStylePack.zip in a game and did not see it in the list of shipsets on PBW. I imagine there are others...

Yes, alphabetical would be easier. I am not sure why it's not now. We are looking into that. One thing I do that works though is if you click in the shipset name box and then hit the first letter of the shipset you are looking for a few times, it will toggle through all the shipsets starting with that letter.

We would have no problem with someone uploading one or more of those shipsets to the file library. Normally all we ask is that you get permission from the author. I don't know if being included on the CD could be taken as permission or not.

As far as uploading all of them, I would just rather people upload them as they need them, rather than put a bunch on there that people may or may not want to use.

Perhaps the various shipset authors and collectors, Andres and others, could put someting on their websites or in a readme file that it is ok for you to upload the shipset to the PBW file library. Or you could email them and ask. I am sure they would appreciate the feedback and would like knowing that people are using them.
