Re: Play by Web
1) Atrocities, every game ive ever been in on PBW, my designs have been saved and used correctly, as have all the other people in those games.
The only problems ive heard about designs(besides yours) was that in an earlier Version of SE4 it was possible to retrofit your ship on the same turn as another player and retrofit to the other players ship design, regardless of what techs u had. As far as i know this was an SE4 bug that was fixed in the latest Version
2)The game owner can set the timeout period for turns, to as little as 1 hour if u want. But generally in the vicinity of 24-72 hours. Its an effective way of keeping a constant playing schedule going.
If the game owner has not set the timeout (its only optional) then the game can take until all players have uploaded their turns. From what uve said u must have played in games where the timeout period was not set, which can make the game severly boring and its easy to lose interest if people arent prompt with uploading their turns.
