So you're basically assuming a spherical cow in a vacuum?

When you talk about a "cow" here, I assume you're not referring to the well known quadrupedal mammalian live form we cheerfully abuse for mass milk production, right? In other words: what do you mean by "spherical cow in a vacuum"...?

Wonder how it should work in multiplayer. Will depend on how we design the "vassal" concept. Bascially two options: if a player (human or AI) becomes a "vassal", they continue playing, but have certain restriction imposed on them (no independent diplomatic relations, have to pay tribute to the over...

Welcome, of course now I'm curious what you're gonna do with it. :D To quote myself: Reason: Given the time scale for the development of FO, I expect us to reach the point some day when we will need the logo in higher resolutions. Displays and grahics hardware are getting better and better, the qua...

Excellent, thanks!

Range isn't needed really, fighters/missiles are just weapons you can intercept with other weapons Maybe that would be sufficient if you decide to just stick to fighters/missiles and "direct fire" weapons, but once you also want to introduce "melee" kind of weapons, you'll finally need to distingui...

The problem for me is that for this to make real sense we need actual ranges, and that require to consider distances, movement and speed. Which would be really interesting (e.g. making smaller ships faster than bigger ships would give them a new niche for late game instead of the current "once-you-...

I'm wondering, how much the current fighters implementation could be re-purposed for projectile weapons? Hangar being replaced with missile storage, launch bays with tube launchers etc. The only difference would be that missiles should be destroyed when they hit the enemy (or if they survive to the...

A 2048x2048 image should at least last us for years to come, I guess. The image you created looks really nice. To use it in a 3D animation within Blender we/I'd still need to create a 3D model based on that image though. But with such a high resolution this should be easier, at the very least. Thank...

Makes sense.

Done.
