Default Re: Pre-Christmas Chat with Aaron

since i cannot make the chat i have a few questions if some could ask them.

1. Will there be a Map Maker for SEV and if so could you describe it.
2. Will we be able to generate/make systems and save them for use in later maps.
3. Will we be able to create senarios using some tool ? If so could you describe it. If not are you interested in this aspect of SEV.
4. Build Ques. Will we be able to add and remove many items on many planets ? Will we be able to set many planets to build 1 turns worth of units ( so the planets figure out how much that is instead of selecting 1 , 5 etc... )
5. Build Ques. Will we be able to select for units build until all space is used up and on the Last turn it just builds what is needed to fill out the remaining space.
6. Build ques. Will we be able to select a planet and go there to some planet screen with all the info we need ? with the option to exit this screen to the system or back to the build que ? Perhaps this leads to the real question. What will the navagation be like in SEV ?

Only one question from me (if it has not been answered yet): is there any hope for macros in the game?

For example, a macro could be: "Build 3 Mineral Facilities on every planet without a spaceyard, nothing in the queue, and at least 100% mineral value", or anything of the like.

Something else that could fit in with macros would be the automation of retrofits. Would it be possible to make Empire-wide retrofits? For example, you could order all Gloriana vessels to be retrofitted to the Victoria class (assuming they are at a spaceyard).

I very much doubt I can make the chat, so if I'm not there please tell Aaron I said "hi".

It sure did.

'Heros' confirmed (as long as the artwork gets done)
Distance sensitive sight rules confirmed
Planetary gravity, temp, and radiation levels confirmed
Choosing tech levels at startup like SE III confirmed
Restrictions on racial traits finally to be implemented
Space monsters still intended but not yet coded

Good stuff.
