My email is still pretty wonky, and I think some of my email got lost cause stuff is showing up now which I know was sent days ago... So I downloaded the dev 16. Did I miss a dev 17 release? To austen, if your on the list, I wanted to tell you I really like the galactic space map! I was wondering about terrain like planets and suns and asteroid fields and wasn't sure how to portray them, but I think you did a good job on that. I wasn't sure how the minutes work as actions. Could you explain that a bit? I also wondered what you thought about turning on shields as compared to passive mode. Like you, destroyable shields would be preferable. I think that would be a fine feature if it comes along down the road. I was wondering if there was a way to dismantle or sweep mines and bombs, or can they be shot down? I tried shooting, but I don't think I had any weapon that would affect it. I liked seeing the time warp jump. I thought about adding warp in mine, but I was wondering whast would be the use of mines and the like if all anyone had to do was warp past it? So I left it off the table for now. How do you make sounds? Or do you mean you recorded sounds? Overall, the only thing that I could see that really seemed a bit off was the massive amounts of weaponry each ship had. I simply picked the one that did the most damage and stuck tot hat one...but I do like what you did witht he damage types which made alot of sense, so I am assumeing the weapons each do a separate damage type? Craig, I just downloaded what you sent, so I am going to check it out! I am seriously excited to see what you cooked up, grin. al "The truth will set you free" Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D.
