If we keep to fixing stuff, there's no problem Please no corny planet type and ship class names

Aww!! No Mouse World?? Ok I guess.

[montfort94]

Will you change the name of the game to Lorst empire?

[Lor Dric]

We know this game has potential, it is up to us to make it the #1 4x space game.

Thoughts on weapon stacking??

Ship sizes??

Combat system??

Invisible electronics in battleview??

[Lor Dric]

@. Iceman why don't you send those files and we can see if we can get the changes approved this week??

[Lor Dric]

Thoughts on planetary weapons??

[montfort94]

We know this game has potential, it is up to us to make it the #1 4x space game.

Invisible electronics in battleview??

As in, an option to hide the controls? That would be cool for screenshots!

[Lor Dric]

No as in not having all the electronic pulse things flying all over between ships, from the electronics(not weapons)

[Lor Dric]

Should minor races be in color in the communications window??

[Lor Dric]

@.Iceman: what icons did you use for the generic ones??
Will post picture of mine tomorrow if I can find time.

[Ironcity67]

Getting rid of the electronic pulse flying things between the ships sounds like a good idea. :-)

[Lor Dric]

Icon numbers for most of them.

Hmmm....those files are gibberish to me. I need to find a free spreadsheet program.

I will look at them and we will decide together what will be sent in for approval. Right now we are only doing whats in post 20 for now that has been approved by Paradox. We can discuss anything we want too, all our different ideas about how to fix stuff but they still will have to approve.
We are both going to have to compromise on some stuff and I hope you know that going in, I don't want any hard feelings if all your stuff isn't used and put in I'm sure most stuff will be used, I know you won't let me use all my ideas. Plus we will have a few people to help us decide on some issues.
Compromise, agreed??

Did I miss a (recent) post somewhere that Paradox is finally moving forward with new community patches?

[montfort94]

Lor was talking about it in the Paradox Modders International Group. I believe he and .Iceman are now developing the game.

[Lor Dric]

I am trying to get a team of people together to discuss things and whether they should be changed or not so we can make this go smoother with a player consensus on changes. Want to help?? Right now talking about stuff that can be changed without changing the code. Not getting much feedback don't know where .Iceman went.

[ollobrains]

seems his just vanished off the forums, lost interest or real life not sure no PMs from him either fo a while, planetary weapons development seems like a good start.

I agree that the electronic pulses could be left out in the battle view. It just clutters up the whole place. Either making it a less frequent pulse or removing it all together sounds good to me.

I don't know what you mean exactly by weapons stacking. Are you trying to combine the power of the different weapon systems, or is it the combination of two slots with the same weapon?

So far I don't have any useful comments to make about the combat system and planetary weapons. I am just not far enough in my game yet

[Lor Dric]

weapons stacking how many weapons can go in one slot?? like 2 large per slot 3 med per slot 5 smalls per slot if it can be done that way might have to go say 3 weapons per slot no matter the size.

[montfort94]

Sounds good to me. Also, how about some type of notification when you fleets go below 50%?
