 Re: What needs attention?One more thing.. the StarDock Library.. might it contain some real useful stuff in it like articles from Cabal.. or perhaps the TradeWars Manual found here
And. if you have time some newer CinePlex Movies to watch, some sequels I heard that might be good: 1) Days of Vulcan Thunder 2) Talladega Ferrball Nights 3) Star Trek XXVIII - The Wrath of Sulu 4) Lil' Neutron goes to the Mall 5) Debbie Double-teams Rigel AND Nigel _________________ ---------------------------- -= QUANTUM Computing 101: 15 = 3 x 5 ... 48% of the time. |

Re: What needs attention? Those cinema sequels sound awesome, if you'll volunteer to make 'em. I don't think I could get Drew Markham (Videon) to make the new ones since he's CCO at Sierra now ;)

I know we can add race descriptions for gold aliens and their ships, but I do not think there is a way to do it about their homeworlds, which is an option. It would also be nice to be able to put unique things in there, like I have edits with a Used Shipyard that is a TWX script, and explaining how it works in the library would be cool. _________________ If you have a building game, they will come...

Each of us SysOp's have unique setups and such. It would be nice to have an option to include our "items" in the library. _________________ -Thrawn But risk has always been an inescapable part of warfare. -- Knight to Queen's Bishop 3 |

Re: What needs attention? Concerning limpets
Would be nice to be able to look at 'active' limpets without having to scroll through all the deployed limpets first. |

Re: What needs attention? Promethius wrote: John Pritchett wrote: Yeah, I'm definitely aware that the aliens are a bit spammy. The biggest problem appears to be when they enter a sector, see a fig, then retreat. They can easily get stuck in this situation, generating one email every time they attempt to move. Over time, that really adds up. So.... What if I change the alien behavior so they don't send redundant emails like this. Once you get one "entered and retreated" message for a sector, you don't need the next 5,000. I'll have to look into how feasible that is, but it seems like a good solution to this problem. I've already done something like this in the past, so aliens only send the first Interdictor message rather than one message for every interdicted move. That would make it hard for people capping aliens, but not impossible. Typically I hit aliens as soon as they enter a sector, but I also have hits while capping that would not appear again. The toggle would allow me to choose when and if I want those types of messages to appear. Good idea, to be able to switch them off manually. Would also be nice to be able to turn off all other figs hits, and still see Fed. (I dont think we can do this can we?) |

Re: What needs attention? Muss wrote: Concerning limpets Would be nice to be able to look at 'active' limpets without having to scroll through all the deployed limpets first. I would echo that 100%. An active limpet display would be very nice. When it was one person online at a time then it was a small time waste to see the deployed limpets as well as active. It is irritating to have to wait through the scroll hen you have 5k+ sectors with limpets deployed. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."

Re: What needs attention? Prom , that all could be eliminated (limpit tracking with wait for your inactive ones to scroll by first)
if the order were reversed .. active limps at top of the list , so a series of spaces could abort the display after the active ones showed. But this change would make hunting killing all the faster ... I'm not sure this is what the game needs. just my 2¢ _________________ TWGS V2 Vids World on Guam Port 2002 Telnet://vkworld.ddns.net:2002 Discord @ DiverDave#8374 Vid's World Discord Founding Member -=[Team Kraaken]=- Ka Pla  Winners of Gridwars 2010 MBN Fall Tournament 2011 winners Team Kraaken Undisputed Champions of 2019 HHT Just for showing up!

I'm not sure this is what the game needs. just my 2¢ Reversing the order would be an improvement, but selective display would work better. It might make killing a bit faster maybe as it would provide information that is useful very quickly. I typically don't track limps as such, but I use the information a couple of other ways. _________________ / Promethius / Enigma / Wolfen / "A man who has no skills can be taught, a man who has no honor has nothing."
