How can you name ships with letters? I have some, but with numbers only, i got an error message yelling at me to use alphanumberic only.
|

It should work as I have a design with letters in name. Spaces will be possible in future.

Oh, and i guess we'll be testing battles sometime soon since we're both militarizing.

Battles are not ready yet. So you have only colonization and exploring option for now.

After that, i think we should focus on expansion and more research just for shiggles. Oh, and can you please modify colony ships so they can support at least the basic engines. Or just implement colonization, that would be swell

Working on colonization right now...

Anyway, I kind of like the fact ships are slow, it makes it more realistic, but I think wormholes are going to be really important in this game.
|
|
Yes there will be natural wormholes as well as dimensional gates between systems. If you have those gates on both systems you'll travel in 1 turn between them.

Dont worry, they won't get near my planet 
And if warp does what I think it does, they will be comming right back at you

You probably wont get that chance, my ships have been out for over a day and theyre only like 1/8 the way there... The round will probably end lol.

Heh, what is the speed of them? My ship has 7 speed, and I sent it last night (about 14 hours ago), and already its like 1/5 of the way to you...should arrive in about 2 days I think...

Do you have any buildings yet? I have aoutomated factories, but they dont seem to be doing anything. They just cost maintenance and dont actualy seem to be adding anything to my production count. Do they have to be activated or something?
Also on the list of planets in the box for buildings it just says '...' and no building name.

Its working, seems to take a turn to catch up. Anyway, I have 11 people on production, and 32 production output...
And I am going to need it, have you seen the cost of colonisation ships?!?!? 1500!!!!!!!!!

On second thoughts...do I need more planets? I dont think I do, 1 is enough
I will wait for you to colonise some and invade, it will be cheaper
But seriously, thats way too much, I was thinking maybe 50 - 100 or something, but 1500??? Maybe its just a temporary value untill colonisation is ready...I hope so

Heh, it will probably still be cheaper, I could build a whole fleet for that cost But anyway, we will see...its not worth 1500 though, it already took 90 turns to research, will take 50 turns to build then I have to send the ship out taking alot more turns, and then wait for the population to increase and actualy make back the resources I spent in the first place...all that will be at least 500 turns, before you even make a profit from all that work...

I dont know, what browser are you using? It wont work for me on IE6, but all I can do is scroll out, and scroll back in on my first star...
Try double clicking to center on a point, if not then I think some arrows will be added later to move about
