Next round map
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:15 pm
From what we've talked in beta chat room, we could use Iggy's Type B map that got voted for prior to this round. As I've realized, most have agreed to this. However there are some inconsistencies in what should and shouldn't go in, so I'll try to gather all opinions here so we can make a final decision.

Some thoughts on size::
15:59] <@Kiky> 8 racials is 3200 sectors
[15:59] <@Kiky> 20x20
[15:59] <@Kiky> as there's no point in them being smaller
[15:59] <@Kiky> 8 planet galaxies... smaller ones, with 12ish planets if alliance cap is 15
[15:59] <@Kiky> so I'd say not bigger than 8x8
[16:00] <@Kiky> which is another 512 sectors
[16:00] <@Kiky> so that's 3700
[16:00] <@Kiky> and 2 neutrals
[16:01] <@Kiky> neutrals have to be bigger, to ensure enough trading routes
[16:01] <@Kiky> so 25x30?
[16:01] <@Kiky> or 30x30
[16:01] <@Kiky> or something in between
[16:03] <@Kiky> that's about 5k sectors
Some of us suggested corridors between planet and neutral galaxies, that can be mined, so that planet galaxies have necessary protection while keeping neutral galaxies without mines. Tho, Edge is against it:
16:06] <@Edgecrusher> well, I'm against that
[16:06] <@Edgecrusher> no need for corridors if you can mine them
I believe there would be a set of rules for forces (esp mines) expiry time in neutral galaxies, which we need defined before map creation.
And... oh, 2 warps instead of one from planet to neutral galaxies would be a fine change, Edge suggested it, I'm for it too, I think some other people from beta team mentioned it as a good thing.
If I remember anything else, I'll post, other than that - you post
