RE: game mode idea: scientific exploration

<t>Even a very basic exploration system would do for me :- systems too far from sol (lets place the frontier at 1000 light years) are not known.- the game keeps a list of the system you've been to.- When you enter an "unexplored" system, there is a short sequence where the computer is supposed to ...

RE: Setting the cat amongst the pigeons - Relatively speaking

<t>The coolest (and most insanely complex) thing to implement would be the fact that light travels at a finite speed. Which would imply that you'll see things where they were some time ago, not where they are. This would make long range scanning more complex because you could only guess where to ...

RE: Aspects of simulation - a couple of questions

<t>A possible workaround for heavy ships could be to buy "dropable take off boosters" at the starport. They would cost more on heavy worlds obviously...@ coolhand : AFAIK, in frontier/FFE your ship was always supposed to have it's full weight.EDIT : (since I like to rationalise everything in games ...

RE: A Suggestion (stargazing)

<t>Yes it sounds really nice and logical. I don't place all the "ability to get out of ship and walk around bases" suggestions high in my expectations list (really won't be disapointed if it never happens because it's a bent to a whole different kind of gameplay) but this simple thing would be fine ...

RE: The Balancing Act

<t>I voted FFE/frontier, though I like the m^3 idea, in the hope that for a "regular play" the addition of volume would not change dramatically how things work out, but if someone wants to overload his ship with uranium then he/she should feel a serious difference.Perhaps a good solution would be to ...
