 Where's the sence of discovery gone?
Don't get me wrong, I'm very impressed with the script that can pull the game settings, ship and planet settings and post it to game resets.
But... where's the negligee? This lays it all out, no surprises, nothing to “discover” if you will. Just bare neked settings.

 Re: Where's the sence of discovery gone?
true with brand new games or new players to any new edit.
but.. with only a handful of edits.. most already know everything that is posted anyway.

H Absolutely and those who are clever enough to figure things out without having it served up on a silver platter should have the advantage.

H Absolutely and those who are clever enough to figure things out without having it served up on a silver platter should have the advantage. That all depends on the circumstances. If everyone has to figure out the settings equally, I see your point. But let's say it's a tournament and the person that created that edit for that tournament and is is playing in it. If that's the case then it would be an unfair advantage to the players that had never seen that edit before.

 Re: Where's the sence of discovery gone?
Kav is probably just having a brain fart, happens to the best of us. We're playing the old HVS game, corp planet list of course does not show the planet numbers, nor does it organize them by sector. We're trying to train a noob to build and farm, planets get moved and misplaced all the time. But, we're having fun discovering the subtle differences. And I want extra credit for spelling "negligee" correctly.
