Proportions Mod: Multiplayer anyone?

[Growltigga]

Oh well, it went for a worthy cause then!

The opportunist in me had to ask

Proportions 1.5 is set up on PBW now. I haven't started our game setup yet, though. We could start briefly and then take a break for Gorgo, or just wait for Gorgo to get back before starting. What do the other five players think - any preferences?

I will post another patch before the 30th, but I don't know that it'll have many important changes. The only thing I have so far that would affect early games is the maintenance rate thing, and even that only affects the amount of resources stockpiled in the early game.

Oh, and starting before Thursday and then taking a break until I return would be fine with me, if we manage to be that fast.

[Osweld]

We might wait untill Gorgo gets back to start, I don't think it's worth while to take a few early turns and then wait a weak and a half before really starting... especially when you might fix up the mod some more in that time (even if it isn't anything major).

[Rollo]

Please don't start before the 30th. Otherwise I won't be able to join.

Ok, the 30th it is, then. Players can get a preview in single-player and recommend any tweaks in the meantime.

Current players and ship sets:

Arak Koba (?)
Dogscoff (Space Valkyries)
Gorgo (Terrans)
Osweld (seorfleet)
PsychoTechFreak (?)
PvK (something you guys don't use)
Krsq (?)
Imperator Fryon (Vorlons)
Rollo (Space Vikings)

(Oh, and to answer a question from earlier about how I managed to change the maintenance reduction scale, it was via a neat technique suggested by Suicide Junkie, which sets default maintenance level to 100, and then alters all of the vehicle sizes' maintenance reductions to the appropriate scale. This works because of the way that the different Ratings are applied. I.e., the reduction Ratings are subtracted from the base rate, but then that rate is multiplied by the vehicle size's reduction rating [plus 100, div 100, of course]. I tested it and it works spot on.)

I will be using Women-In-The-Mood... ahem, wait a minute...

No, I change over to Species 8472.

Hey, Rollo, I would rather need you more as a consultant than an opponent ...

Welcome, I am looking forward to PBW with you.

Looks like Rollo and I will be fighting over the Viking shipset then.

Actually, I have an idea...
