Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

The annexation by BlueAward (of a planet in a system with a Lien Rag planet) didn't work, so it seems that the whole annexation mechanism is bugged due to something introduced in the new version, so I'm not sure that we can test anything more. So it may be time to wrap it up. But unless we want the ...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

It certainly would be nice to have the core devs telling us what to test, but for now I'd like to check if annexation still works (I did try to annex a neutral planet as BlueAward) in the new version. If it doesn't work anymore at all, I guess that it's time to wrap up. So, basically : drkosy, pleas...

Re: No more OP death stacks

Actually having Arc Disruptors do more damage against huge stacks (and not only get more shots) would probably be fine. It would of course make it a weapon of choice even more than now, but since it's easily countered by shields that's not much of a problem (and on the opposite, would resurrect shie...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

I did annex Sera alpha II as BlueAward last turn, but apparently it didn't work (the cost hasn't been deduced from its pile either).
Now I can't anymore, nor can I as LienRag.

Could Geoff/Ophiuchus/whoever worked on the code tell us what to test now ?

Re: Annexation feedback

Thanks.
That's an interesting formula.

What about the exploit that Wobbly suggested earlier, though : sending chaff against the enemy so that by killing them he lowers the Species' opinion of the enemy's Empire ?

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

So, I guess that o01eg annexed Sera alpha I ? It's quite logical that he was able to, but at least that's a test done. Now, as LienRag I can't annex anything (failing Supply, as usual), but as BlueAward I can annex both planets at Sera alpha (passing all conditions) - so we finally succeeded in repr...

Re: Centralisation Policy Mechanics Review

The second I guess ?
The third is more precise, but the repetition of "stability" is a bit awkward.

I mean, the substitution of "of" by "at" does the trick already to an attentive reader (no ambiguity left in the formulation).

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

OK, thanks Geoff. Any idea of what we should test now ? There's only one multi-planets system left... One thing that was specific to Izsm and that we can't test again is that Izsm planets were gifted to me by drkosy; could that be a reason why only BlueAward (who had no part in this exchange, never ...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

No, I don't have a supply here. Maybe I should try "Initiate combat" stance to get it. Oh. Interesting to note. I believe that Ophiuchus said that you were always supposed to have Supply over your own planet. Initiate combat stance will get your frigate destroyed, maybe try "obstruct...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

Drat, I forgot that I had mines in my queue ! I paused the next level but level 1 is already here. I guess that we'll need to let o01eg rest at Sera gamma while he combines his forces ? Did your frigate get supplied at Sera, o01eg ? I declared independance at Sera alpha, that should allow another te...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

That is exactly what you describe: You can't build an IRA at Istella if there is one that doesn't belong to you, but you could build on at Iszm D. Note that this is not really a bug in the script but more an issue of the bad implementation of Concede-Skript. If Concede creates a freedom decree for ...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

Still as usual, I can annex Sera but not Nay. On the Istella front, I still can't build an IRA on it but I can on Izsm delta. I'm not mistaken in considering that there is no IRA closer than 6 jumps from Istella, right ? I counted many times all the paths I can think of, I didn't forgot one ? I have...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

I still can annex Serra, but I can't annex Nay. So, probably a Supply problem indeed (that's what fails the conditions anyway). But it's still not exactly the same situation as at Izsm, since BlueAward was able to annex Izsm while Wobbly's fleet was on it (and o01eg couldn't at Sera). Also, there wa...

Re: Twenty-sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server

Thanks.
I evacuate my ships out of Serra, can you produce a ship there so we can see if it changes something ?
