Hey Jade, welcome back. Glad you like the game so far .

Forgive me if this issue has been discussed before.

It does seam the game starts out slowly. I might be more interesting to give each major race at least a scout ship to play with at the opening turn.

Hello again Jade. (I will never get his attention now.)

Commendation recieved.



...

Any news on my suggested editor improvements, Mike? Are they even doable? You haven't responded about it yet. I guess Jade really is more important.

I'm still chugging away through the minor races and adding them to my version of Supremacy. What files will I need to send to you once i'm done?

I never received the e-mail you mentioned, Matress. Remember that my old @cc.gatech.edu address is no longer valid...

As for the editor improvements, yes, most of them can be done easily...

YEah me and car are good! I still have my s2000 i didnt go for a new one in the end but i love the new supra!

Im always on this section of the forums mstrobel so if it get quite give me a kick and ill liven it up

Got so much work on at the moment ive just got back from finland!! Hopefully i can do something usfull here before i go to dublin!

Huh, I didn't know Toyota was releasing a new Supra... cool. My brand new BMW got wrecked when some moron pulled out right in front of me without looking. I've got a new 335i Coupe on order though .

Finland and now Dublin? I'm jealous at how much travelling you get to do!

Didn't get the email? I sent it to your Hotmail account, Mike, and Gmail didn't send me any undeliverable mail notifications. The zipped file was only 5mb as well, so even Hotmail can accept such a small file...

Wierd...i'll send it again if needs be. Just let me know.

...

I'm glad you can do the editor updates - which ones do you think you can do? Obviously the random event one should be the easiest...

The editor updates will be great for creating mods as well - especially mods that convert Galactic Supremacy 2 into a Trek game...

@matress: I never check my Hotmail account, how did you even know I had one? My primary e-mail account is through GMail (same username as my Hotmail account).

Race Homeworld Size
This can be done easily enough.

Race System Bonuses
This can be done easily once bonuses are actually implemented. I suppose those should have been done *already*, so I'll prioritize them.

Race Homesystem Growth Rates
These values are always computed based on the hability of a system's planets relative to a race's preferred planet type (the planet type of their homeworld). You can't override them.

Minor Race Diplomacy Report
This can be done easily.

Race Home Planet Name
I think this can already be done (the home planet name is always equal to the system name). I could change it so they can be different.

Minor Race Empire Sympathy Ratings
I need to hold off on this until I decide what sort of value ranges will be used in the diplomacy system.

Bug finding will help but you also may look at the design. What will make it more fun to play?

It is likely beyond what could be done now but there is a way that the flow of the game would be streamlined. Didn't you have to go to each of your planetary systems in turn to manage your empire in BOTF? What if you put one subtype of management for all your worlds in one place?

If I am not mistaken you have to go to each developed planet you control to look at each subtype of management in turn, say ship building. What if ship production for all your worlds was side by side on one scrollable or tabbed screen. Then when you want to look at ships you will build or labor distribution you go to an empire wide screen to see all systems side by side. I think it would make micromanagement easier. It would take a major bit of coding.

Well, the AI system for the non-human empires will have to include some sort of "System Viceroy" to manage the loacal systems, and I plan to extend that same functionality to the human players if they don't want to micromanage all of their systems.

hey guys, just tryed to download the game but when i clicked the link it went to a white page telling me it couldnt find it? dont sopose u know another way i can download the game? cheers
