SysNES 1: A Murky Pool of Light

[Disenfrancised]

Okay, last Rules updates added in for now, along with complete list of society mechanical bonuses (these have been rebalanced somewhat).

I also get the impression people feel they have not got enough to do at the start. Thus I'm considering letting everyone get 3 extra techs of their choice up to level 2 in the first order set - thoughts?

Either way I'd like orders for 8pm GMT Tuesday the 9th of March. I hope to have biweekly updates at first, and should have that first update done tuesday midnight.

I think there will be two more player slots available, but that will be the max. PM me if you're interested.

As the least technologically advanced faction, naturally I want more tech.

For balance purposes, my concern is that it reduces the impact of the Extra Starting Tech trait that some other players took. If you allowed players that took Extra Tech to reach level 3 with this bonus, then that might seem fair (given the escalating cost of technology).

 

[Disenfrancised]

Well those who took extra starting tech can just put their new bonus techs in other fields, and enjoy the shiny new slight cost reduction (not as good as taking technological affinity, but still significant) to the techs they took a bonus in.

A bit, although 3 would be too much. I like that the first techs give different things, and the fact that different selections require different play styles at the start.

 

[Disenfrancised]

Indeed, perhaps mandate that of the 3 extra, two have to be in the same field (and players who took an extra starting tech OR affinity for a tech can push up to level three with those two). Thus everyone gets more techs, but it forces people to still have large gaps in their techical knowledge (and thus have different play styles)?

 

[Kal'thzar]

Yes, I think that could work.

 

[Disenfrancised]

THEN LET IT BE SO.

Sorry about that you guys who've sent orders (your orders were spot on btw).

 

[Kal'thzar]

orders resent.....if you got orders early would you update early?

 

[Disenfrancised]

Nope, unless I got them all tonight, then I'd do it then (2/8 currently). Got plans monday night.

Edit: Actually allow me to check the rules again. Something seems fishy

 

[Kentharu]

Nothing to see here.

 

[Disenfrancised]

@Kentharu, the time is detailed at the top of this page, and in the very first post of the thread.

@Seon, I hope there isn't a glaring error in the rules!

 

[Seon]

[Daftpanzer]

Esani checking in!

I need to read the rules. Seems I have a rather large system to myself right now. Not that large=good I understand.

 

[Disenfrancised]
