turn vs simul. pains

Jubala · #1 February 7th, 2001, 07:10 PM

What really bugs me in simultaneous turn games is how launching units work. It's all or nothing! I can't tell my ship to launch only 15 mines, it will launch as many as it can and if it can launch all mines it has it will! It's a pain to have to build one ship with launch capacity and another with cargo storage and send them off together just so I can have some control on how many mines/sats I launch by transfering the number of units I want to launch between the turn before. I shouldn't have to do that.

Well now you know what we have been working on while people have been yelling for a patch

Seawolf, does that cryptic sentence mean that we'll be able to specify the amount of units to remote launch in sim games in the next patch? Or are you unable to answer that due to non-disclosure agreements or whatever?

Either way, improvements to sim turn, no matter what type of improvement, will make me a happy camper.

Jub,

I just meant that there are many problems with the sim tunr and we are working on to fix them all.

Is simultanious move worth playing? I've always done turn based.
