Hi allan
Well on an interesting note when you go to bed I am getting up,
anyway I do end up testing a lot at your night.
Today I have to catch up on various things but will try to get on it again.
Sadly major offline end of life thingswill take most of tuesday, so
sadly I will have to exit the trek universe at that point, there are
a couple of days where I will have disruptions but after the next 2
weeks I should have a stretch of uninterupted testing.
Keep the maps going.
Personally I think we have enough klingons right now with the way the
fight goes you really don't need anymore since they come at you.
But maybe once you enter the last room you should fight the klingon leader.
also klingons have swords of a sort so you either have one or kill a
warior and get one.

Hi Shawn,
I think we are getting closer to good maps.
I put a timer on the spase unit that summons the hostiles.
The goal is to get the ship to the wormhole where you will win the
map. Technically, you could just start the map, move one spot and
win the map, but then what would be the point. It is why the pods
are the way they are in the other hunt map.
Anyway, the first map now has a wormhole and a victory condition
allowing you to put your hsip in the terrain and win. Only one set
of klingons will pop up...unless you want more. I thought the fight
was not really hard, but then again, i am so intimate with the ins
and outs of it I usually get the advantage.
The icarus map was missing the escape terrain again, so I put in the
terrain called "transporter range" When you reach that spot the map is won.
However, I did a fight with the battlecruiser and fighters and I was
afraid it was way too easy. I destroyed them and had time to spare
which makes me think I need to bump up the timer a little. You had
no idea that was the goal so you probably approached the problem
diffrently, which was my fault for not having it properly debriefed.
That is what I am going to be doing. I am going to make a basic
direct mission briefing in each map that will be listed on the main
ship, which will detail the object of everything including all the
game facts required to satisfy the game map victory condition. I am
going to reserve the other text spots for storyline and plot. It
will give the basics but the hard dirty facts will be in the briefing.
Or maybe I should stick it on the academy map, but that would be
tacky and lazy.
Yeah, I'm lazy.
I liked the warp point in the kill a titan map alot, so thatnks for
that idea. I stuck it int he fog of war map and made it a little
diffrent. Same basic map, but you put your ships wehre you want
them. The enemy has a serious advantage though, so be careful. It
should hopefully be playable.
The gunfight is more or less ready. I added a medic to help heal
security guys, but I am wondering if I should put more klingons in
the right side. I am not sure yet. I am also thinking of splitting
up the last room on the left, and making a iconic fight between
admiral and leader of the klingons or something, not yet sure.
I didn't want to include too much in the gunfight map. I know I need
to switch the points to something more in keeping with living units,
but for now it works.
I made some preliminary juggernaughts and stuck them on the clash
map with a normal borg. It is kind of a redux of the first
resistance map, but right now it is just there to test and mess
around with. I haven't decided on the destroyers yet.
Ok, I am going to update the sucker and hit the hay, as they say.

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] testing the titon map
hi.
just tested the hunt for titon map1.
I was able to send the pod, but I have no idea how to get out myself.
I assumed that once I sent the pod I would be out.
I wasn't.
while I was crossing to the pod I crossed an evil space, and then
enemies started coming at me.
I couldn't get out though and when I died the game continued in a
stuck state though technically I had won.
the flight of iciris needs to be made a bit easier though.
maybe if you could get rid of the fighters or make the map a bit
smaller I was able to get rid of the cruiser but the fighters well,
with their disrupters and such it was game over for me in a vary short time.
