Re: Base PM Updating Module

Well, I've been making progress, yet still falling behind schedule. I'm feeling more confident about the overall model of how planetary management. Numbers still may need tweaking, but how it works seems pretty close now. That being said, my plan is currently to have a galaxy manager and sql underpi...

Re: Reunion Party

Sadly, I'm finding myself running out of time and into conflicts of schedule, so I will not be able to attend this year.

Very high on my list for next year though, permitting re-occurrence.

Re: EVE as a TEMP setup

Well, real-time and turn-based are two completely different methods of approach. Turn-based always has a solid option for handling downtime, and downtime is much harder to recognize. With real-time, downtime is easy to see and difficult to compensate for. Next, you move on to purely method, downtime...

Re: Gamestorm.com

Yep, gamestorm.com has been listed on sedo.us for $51,000 USD for quite some time now. I'll never really understand squatter pricing, there is hardly any search engine value in most domains that get squatted anyway.

Luckily the SE & MW3 domains got grabbed by fans, and not squatters :)

Re: SE Galaxy Names?

For those of you clinging onto the edge of your seats waiting for the answer, it appears I may have stumbled upon it. In one of Cain's galaxy files, http://archives.stellaremperor.com/files/scores/war4.txt , one of the galaxies is named Hela. So we have: Andromeda Milky Way Gaia (or Gaea?) Hela I wa...

Re: PM Module: Food

That's about what I though. Problem now is finding the right number to get it there, and with that, I need to figure out how much troops ate. From everything I'm finding, troops on Hydro actually consumed less food than civilians on Hydro. In Monty's PM module, troops on Ag eat twice as much as civi...

PM Module: Food

So in implementing and testing hydroponics, I can clearly see that the guessed values from Monty for food are off by a multiplied efficient. Of course, there is very little documentation on values produced, and Monty based it of the recollection of needing about 3.5% population in Ag for food gain. ...

Re: Base PM Updating Module

I have not yet started work on the flight module. There is a planned logical ordering of the process: PM updater - make sure planets work working correctly Galaxy generation - create galaxies Galaxy manager - manage multiple galaxies Flight manager - manage the back-end communications for all networ...

Re: Base PM Updating Module

Yeah, I have tried to be incredibly picky, which is why immigration is giving me such a headache, because it's just so variable. There appears to be no direct pattern to it, and the documentation on it is really not even there at all. I'm still looking for a balance of regular growth, accelerated gr...

Re: Base PM Updating Module

Actually, Fig and Guns should be just about perfect. Those are number's we have always been quite sure on, based on costs of everything SY related, a DD comes out the gates at about 10:30AM on Monday morning, which is about spot on, and from there it's all relative because the SY numbers are pretty ...

Base PM Updating Module

Thanks to the work of Kon and those before him (Crimson, Monty) I have a pretty good base PM module in the form I want it to be to move forward. I've been working on various aspects over the last several weeks, and am continually getting closer to an accurate reproduction of SE's calculations. Here ...

SE .gxy file parser

About a month ago I wanted to look and see if I could figure some things out about galaxy stats generation, and was unhappy with the results I was getting from survey.exe included with SE 1.02 (and it only runs on Win9x). So I took the time to see what I could find out about the gxy file format. I w...

Re: Welcome.

The text-based version of MW3 is being created Spectrum, which is a separate project. I will be working on a SE-like clone, but unfortunately progress has been lacking. I've re-started all plans based on work derived from Kon earlier this week, and am still working on getting some of the core framew...

Long shot request - Economic Report

I'm looking for a specific PM report, doubt anyone has one, but figured I'd ask.

Looking for the very first economic report viewed for a newly established planet with no changes made to labor. (Why you'd save a Economic Report at this point is beyond me, which is why this is such a long shot)
