There is always the possibility. It's not a very high probability though. There is no way to know for sure until it happens. If it doesn't it won't be for lack of requests.

A new map editor would be helpful esp if they start adding new ingame features and perhaps new planet, warp and storm types.

darn it!!! every time I see this thread near the top, I read it hoping that there is a new history.txt from one of the beta testers. Foiled again.

About those arbitrary point generation abilities... What happens if you use them on a facility? Is the generation affected by happiness? Population? Planet value? What happens if you use this sort of ability to make some minerals as well as the normal mineral production ability on the same facilty? Would it keep on producing if the planet riots, though just from the "arbitrary" generation ability?

Also, can you provide the specific names for these abilities, so that people could start work now? The format for the comma separated lists for Vehicle Type and Target Type would be great as well.

Using them on a facility would be interesting ?

They should be influenced by all 3 factors you mentioned ie happiness, population and planet value.

Producing through a riot - perhaps they could have their production values cut by 75% if the planet is rioting ?

Actually it would be rather bad if they were affected by those things. We already have perfectly good resource abilities that are affected by them. A second set would be redundant (for facility use).

Paul1980au · #**257** February 25th, 2004, 04:49 AM

Any new suggestions ? then perhaps a new value to affect these orbital intel and research facilities ?

and you would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!
