It's Coming!!!

One item you might consider is to 'cloak' the wormholes naturally, so that a race would require at least some sort of sensor level before they could see and use them.

Hadn't thought of that yet, good idea.

Currently, I am working on reworking the weapons tech. Does anybody have any weapon ideas that they would like to see????

EDIT:
Here are some weapon types I currently have in the works.
3 missile types ~ regular, fast attack, and assault
Plasma missiles that do more damage.
Something else that i can't remember because I'm not currently at my computer.

This is impossible. WPs can NEVER be cloaked. They are always visible. Making them have a black bmp is bad, as it forces tons of clicking around the system edges to locate them... move to orders still traverse the WPs fine, and the AI is unaffected.

Can orders like explore or randomly clicking on places with the warp order overcome this?

Not sure about random clicking, but I think Explore will. I don't think cloaked wormholes will affect AIs, either.

Just thought about this but how do you guys number mod releases? Do you number your first release 1.00 and the others ones in order (1.01 1.02)?

[tesco samoa]

1.00.01

where 1 is the major release

.00 is the minor release

.01 is the revision of that minor release ( used for tweaks etc... )

I think for the beginning that weapons should be missles and projectile types...

Later add the different beam and plasma weapons...

Different ages different weapons.

In addition to what Tesco said... generally, it is good to have the Version numbers tell you if a savegame created in a previous Version will be compatible with the new Version. Example:

x.yy.zz

A save game made with Version 1.00.00 of the mod should still be playable in Version 1.00.01, 1.00.76, etc. of the mod, but not 1.01.00, 2.00.00, etc.
