Re: Trading needs to be harder | Ideas

I was Orca's wingman once. I beat him and Soul multiple times when it came to the number of kills. Why the hell doesn't anyone ever mention me? :) Seriously, I am getting old but I think I was once one of the better hunters in this game (I'll let other people judge that though), and hunting these da...

Re: Do you remember when?

Whoa .... I can't believe SMR is still going on. Great job, guys, keeping the SM legacy still alive :clap: Hard to believe how long it has been, what? 13, 14 years since the original SM began? Who the hell is Chocolate Bunny? :) It's been almost 16 years I think and people who still remember that s...

Did I hear someone mention invisible scouts?

Re: Draft game Retrospective: My thoughts

The option is to blacklist people is an option given to all players to safeguard them from harassment or simply if they do not wish to speak to someone. I blacklisted Kiky for reasons that I don't feel the need to spill here, and there are absolutely no arguments why I should not have been allowed t...

Re: Draft game Retrospective: My thoughts

I disagree on having three teams. I like that "us (the good guys) vs them (the bad guys)"-feeling. Plus, three teams would not work, because if two teams team up to beat the third, there is nothing fair anymore. That *will* happen, and there's no line of code that can prevent it.

Re: Draft game Retrospective: My thoughts

The purpose of this thread is to discuss and evaluate the draft round, not to bicker about cheating accusations. Nevertheless, you brought this up, so I have to respond, but this will be my final say on the matter. I am sick and tired of being accused of killing this game by playing it properly. I d...

Re: Draft game Retrospective: My thoughts

As one of the two leaders I may have a bit of a different perspective on things. First of all, the picking process. The smart strategy here would be to pick people you trust and know. Kiky did this, and in terms of activity later on in the game, that strategy worked. My goal was to play with new peo...

Re: New MGU developer wanted

Multi-core shouldn't be too difficult, I understand the principles, just haven't done it in C# yet.

"make it so you can go to a sector with it centered."

This feature has been in MGU for a few years now.

Re: New MGU developer wanted

Multi-core optimisation isn't coming, I said I'd look into it, but no clue how difficult it is. The datastructure I use makes that most computation can be easily done multi-core, but I have no experience with it yet. "Export top x routes to clipboard? Easier c+p to alliance MB that way..."...

Re: New MGU developer wanted

MGU needs some bug fixes, some things (like route finding) could be further optimized and new things like a trade calculator could be developed. But most people are only whining that SMC is better and no one is seriously posting bugs, which completely takes the fun out of development. Every new idea...
