tech summary

#1 Post by Sento »

every tech should have a little summary i can read when i dont want to read the long text or i just dont understand it because of my bad english.

A tech should have such a description even it is just a tech who has no direct effect but is needed for other technologies, then shall stand there explicit that it has no effect but is a transit tech.

Can you give some examples of what this text might look like and where it would be displayed?

I imagine he would mean some text that is laid out as follows:

fghsfhg sjlnhlshglsnhlks nhlsfhnlsj hnlsjhnslfhslh nslhnsljfhsl hsljhns
gfsgs sfgsfgs gsgsfdg sgsfdg sdgfsdg

fgsg sgsdfg sdgs sdgsdg sdgsdgd sdgsdg sdgsdg sdgsdg sdgds
gsfdgs dsgsdg sdgsdg sfdgsg sgsg sgsg sdgsdg sdgsdg sdgsdgds
fdgsgs gdsgs dsgsdg dgsgds dsgs dsgsgs gdgsdg dsgsdg dsgsdg sdgds
dgsg dfgsdgds gdsgsd dgsg dfgsdg dgsgd dgsdgds gdsgsg sdgsdg
gfdsgs dgsgds gdsgs gdsgsg dsgdsg dgsgds dgsg dgsdgsg dgsgsg

So the bold part would be a short summary. The rest would be the full description. I guess its important if you are in a hurry.

yes something like the first lines descripe what exactly the tech change in gameplay (as example a new available ship component)
And after that a long description about the story of the tech. some techs have only this long description now.

Sounds reasonable, if not urgent.
