Fleet-to-fleet combat has been overhauled. Tell me your thoughts.

I like it, good job.



I don't really like the way the greenhouse/pollution mechanic is handled though, it doesn't make much sense. If anything it should depend on temperature, specifically, temperature relative to your homeworld. The colder a world is, the more benefit there is to heating it. The hotter a world is, the more harm there is to heating it. Greenhouse effect alone is not a useful piece of data in this case. Maybe something like this makes more sense:

Colder
>50K: +20% total factories
25-50K: +10%
10-25K: +5%
10-25K: -10%
25-50K: -20%
>50K: -40%
Hotter
(temperature relative to home planet)

And maybe to balance this there can be some opposite mechanic, such as increased mineral extraction for hot worlds and decreased for cold worlds.



The industry/atmo pressure stats seem weird too. 19.99 atm giving +20% while 20.01 gives -25% seems awkward. Perhaps something more like:

.5-.8Atm: +2% Production
.8-1.5Atm: +4%
1.5-5Atm: +8%
5-10Atm; +15%
10-20Atm; +0%
20-40Atm: -15%
40-60Atm: -25%
60-200Atm -40%
>200Atm -60%

The greenhouse effect thingy is still a prototype. It isn't really applied yet, so there is time for it.

Yeah. In my idea it would only apply to colonies anyway. The pressure thing is more important for now.

OK, first of all, I obviously can't update the game every single hour. What do you guys think that we have 1 or 2 turns every day at this time? I will just change your incomes in every field by multiplying them by 24.

Cool, maybe increase travel speed? .1 parsecs or something per turn.

Quontex, I will just multiply the current speed of ships, income etc. by 24 to get per turn values.

Also, everyone should tell me at what times(GMT, look it up if you don't know what it is) they are free so we can choose a time when a new turn starts.

I am available from 13:00 to 19:00 and from 21:00 to 23:00(Most of the time)

1/h = 24/d sounds good to me. Or maybe update on each turn, with each turn counting as a set interval of time regardless of the real-world timing of turns.

I can be available whenever necessary I suppose.
