Pre-SysNES2: Beta-testing and Submission

[Disenfrancised]

That seems nice iggy, very simple brand label .

NPCs!

 

[Kal'thzar]

Looks really interesting. Are they going to be active in perusing goals or are they mostly reactive?

Also any of those NPC's cyborgs?

 

[Symphony D.]

Ah, there's the Dathics. Was wondering where they were on the other one. Guess this means if I ever finish the map, posting it won't be a problem.

They'll do stuff when I feel its appropriate, the majors do already have established fiefs and the minors lack the capability to be that active though. Being cyborgs is kind of something I'd mention in the description don't you think .

@SymD: you finishing and posting the map would be very much appreciated.

Stats and other stuff

SYS_V14

Changelog

Economics2 V14
-All calculations changed
-Tables populated with data
-484 regions included, all PCs and known NPC region stats added. Note that some stars are binaries or triples, and 40 of those regions are the 'Deep Space' section that's the same for every star.
-Modifications costs added

Shipdesigner
-Reweighted a lot of stuff, especially reaction drives
-IS drives adjusted to include carrier space. Charm drives cannot carry other ships IS unless they have their own charm drives. Manifold drives have far lower weighting to carrier space than other drives.
-Refinement costs changed across the board
-Several new components added, I can neither confirm or deny that any of the new supply ones might have to do with recharging capacitors :3. Most of the ones added are filling out the top of the tech fields properly.
-Getting high levels in certain tech fields will have an impact on ship performance
-Added relics component type section.
-Supply sections no longer work off just recyclers as that was dumb.

BattleCalc_V14
-Commercial calculator fixed
-Stats section for S2S fixed

Geeze, what's left at this point? Graphics trudge? Soldier on, sir, you're a machine.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Might need to lie down.

Thats a lot of stats....*twitch*

Every single close family member was overseas this easter weekend, and it was pouring with rain, so I got a lot done whilst being all:

 

[Thlayli]

British weather conditions have been good at isolating productive savants since the days of Newton, I am glad this is still the case.

Post of bugs. Things shall be edited in as I find them, because I am too excited to wait and post a handful at time:

- You forgot the Yanii math research discount modifier.
- The Yanii have "Like Temperate"... but they have a bigger innate like bonus for Chill than for Temperate? They really hate hot temperatures that much? Should I buy some refrigerators for them to live in?

 

[Dachs]

lurker's comment: Noted.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Do the Ilosians have two overseers operating delugian bases for some form of diplomatic agreement (food? similar?).

I have a LOT of overseers, I suspect that is to overcome the slight weakness in population movements away from the mining outposts...

Yeah I changed the yanii climate preferences because they were boring, deal with it .

@Dachs; you think that's the only example of that sort of thing?

It's the only me-specific one, unless we're going to talk about the Corans being the same thing as 科拉.

Nope.jpg, those are obviously misallocated deluger overseers, what with their column being right next to yours.

@Dachs, don't you wave your ideograms at me.

Right, so this idea came up on #nes, and there seems to be quite a bit of interest. Would you mind if one of us (us being the #nes SysNES players) ran a simplistic mini-SysNES (~4 people tops), with a handful of test systems and not necessarily canon factions, using the current public versions of the calculators?
And if yes, would you rather it be run in the thread, in While We Wait, by PM, no preference?

Knock yourselves out, but don't come whinging to me when you misinterpret the subtlety of the rules

 

[Kal'thzar]

Nuts; I still need to come to some sort of arrangement with the Delugers and that could have been an extra card to play.

Well I'll just go see how my other specialists are for coming up with mad schemes...

 

[Kal'thzar]

Oh another question; if a market has empty unfilled slots, and you want to create another, what are the resisting factors? Is there a base assumption? Has this already been answered?

 

[Thlayli]

I should get some kind of bonus for having the least s of a player faction in both SysNES 1 and SysNES 2.

 

[alex994]

My god. I board a train, get there, go online and you've produced all this? I need to get more work done

One would assume that you'd set the commercial calculator to 'Create', as what other damn interpretation of 'create' could their be?
