[Openme-developers] Building vs Production

[Justin S. <jus...@ho...>]

Come on aos, I'm not a moron.  Building Cost is Base Construction, 
Production Cost is for Producing Guns.  A small part of the game and that is 
why it is possible to have high and low #s in those areas.  I explained the 
1:2:10 ratio (Building:Researching:Producing).

Maybe I should ask if you read?  ;-)

This is the key factor of the game. Giving one race a 50% advantage
seems not appropriated to me.
Bad enough that KEA has a -50% weapon production malus, which does not
seem sound to me as well. But a 50% benefit on base constructions,
turrets, SGs, DHs ... that looks odd.

Take it somewhere else please :)

A Word (or Two) About Flaming
Simply put: resist the urge to start or participate in a flame war. Nobody
likes being attacked or embarrassed in public and will therefore respond in
kind. When you include personal attacks in your posts, the intelligent
exchange of viewpoints gets lost in an emotional exchange of hostility.
Flame wars accomplish nothing but dividing the community into opposing
sides. The "discussion" follows a fairly predictable path and often results
in the participants appearing very childish: "You're lying"/"No, you're
lying", "If you bothered to read my post, that is not what I said", etc.

Here are some suggestions to avoid a flame war:

1) Use emoticons to help the reader better understand your intended meaning.
This is especially important when using humour, sarcasm, or other subtle
word play. An "obvious" bit of humour to the writer may not be so obvious to
the reader. Keep in mind that to many people here at the Guild, English is a
second language.

2) In a disagreement, focus on the issue, not the individual. For example,
"The problem I see with that idea is..." is much better for constructive
dialog than is "Are you really stupid enough not to see the problem with
your moronic idea?"

3) If you need to vent your anger, do so in an email to a friend or post it
in a private clan forum, but remain civil in your posts at the Guild. Think
of it as a high tech way of screaming into a pillow.

4) If you absolutely must confront an individual, do so via email, chat,
another forum, or some other form of communication. First, people are more
civil when they are not concerned about saving face in public or strutting
for an audience. Second, the vast majority of the Guild members don't care
to be involved in or even read flame exchanges.

[Openme-developers] Final decision list

[Michael v. D. <mi...@ci...>]

Things that need to be settled once and for all :

Base racial kill bounty at 10% [yes / no]

Base xp gain/loss from kills [variable based on lvls / 10%]

Racial abilities [keep last version / keep tweaking]

Base Busting [keep old version / develop completely new version]

Auto return fire [yes / no]

Weapon delay for firing [yes / no ]

Race description [use Tigers version / use Bruticus' version / developn
other version]

Alliance size [20 / 25 / other]

Treaty limits [limited / unlimited]

Add current sector sorting [yes / no]



Discussions are taking up too much time so settle as many as possible.
These are all I could think of in 10 minutes so if you have any more
then send them to me so I can add them to the blog asap

[Darth D. <Dar...@kn...>]

Regarding race descriptions, BRUTICUS kindly bundled together everything we
have on races and sent it to me in an E-mail which I printed off the other
day. I'm working on new race descriptions, should have em out in a day or
two as work and school permits.

[Openme-developers] Decision time

[Oliver B. <oli...@ma...>]

OK... I have looked through the stuff and here is how we will do it.

Racial stuff:
Forge,Bruticus and Tiger you stick your head together and fix racial descri=
ptions along with racial abilities (cause they are the same). Remember you =
are working for a common goal here so work together. You are responsible fo=
r that part and i'll keep yoou responsible. They need to be done before gam=
e start and I hope that can be in a two weeks time.

Base busting:
I have put Hawklan and ChrisN on the job(ChrisN just dont know it yet). Haw=
klan has done such a tremendous job with battle code I am sure he will cont=
inue. He is also responsible for battle code, so he decides the settings. H=
e has been given the design specs of base busting as discussed previously.
They will together with ragnora define a way for bases to be taken over by =
enemies.. eg captured. that will be a feature we add after the start of the=
 game.

Combat code including auto return fire and delay:
look above..Hawklan is in charge.He has already implemented som values so w=
e probably keep them.

XP gain loss:
We will use the new formula devloped by kevkev and hawklan you can see it o=
n tiki.

Base racial kill bounty is set at 10% for this game.

trading formula and such, me and kevkev is reworking it together But it wil=
l probably not change too much unless we get some realy nice ideas.

Thats all :
