Which Map do you like better?
« on: August 28, 2005, 06:09:23 pm »




I prefer the top pic myself. It is more balanced in terms of where strategic assets are placed and how equadistant they all are from each side. The more important feature here is that PvP will be more concentrated as all the empires share very little neutral zone space. The bottom pic has 4x the neutral zone and PvP would be stretched out all over.

The bottom pic is more abstract... based on something I saw from a web pic of the ST galaxy. Just looked cool, and I like the placement of the empires, it's rather unique in terms of how and where they are all located. I still prefer the top pic.

Top one, but the bottom one is an interesting variation on the standard Fed&Emp map, that would be fun to to try sometime.

Its close.... But I dont like the idea of the feds being in the middle. Kingons on the other hand might work.

I stated standard alliances above. Both pics have the same sides. In the top pic its Left vs Right. The bottom pic has the same teams, but they are in different locations.

It does, doesnt it? But if you look at the vast number of neutral zone areas that seperate all the empires from one another... PvP is strung out all over the place. On the map at the top, PvP will be fairly concentrated as all the empires share a very short neutral zone. Wont take long to go from one action zone to another.

But there is more to the game than PvP, we need to maintain the "illussion" of Strategy.

I still think you're sulking- but is it possible to turn off the news reports
that tell when a player has come out of a mission?

You mean the "/afk" stuff and names going dark or do you mean the "who attacked who" reporting?

1) Destructable bases?

 - SB's are not destructibe by mission. Only by Scorched Earth. Bats and BS are.

2) Ambassador hexes?

 - Yes.

Go here: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163359747.msg1122615394.html#msg1122615394 for more details to your Q1 and !2.

3) Tholians/Andromedans?

 - Most likely not. The new '9th' non-player Empire race makes having them possible, but unless the community really wants more cool things to blow up, then no. I certainly wouldnt mind having them in. I like flavor. Besides, they could be a lot of fun to blow up and they have already been done and tested so adding them would be easy.

4) Mirdan?

 - Not unless the RM's for the Hydran and Mirak both want it.

One last question Diz - are you going to allow multiple accounts for different races?

(Personally I think we should move away from this.)
