Re: Military Command Cost

Could ordering be more interesting if, instead of just making it cheaper, it stays expensive (or is more so) unless some other condition is met first? (What I'm not sure, but perhaps something would be possible...)

If a topic is not FreeOrion related, then "Off Topic" seems like the appropriate place. If it's connected to FreeOrion in a reasonable way, then "General Discussion" could be used for "inspiration" discussions, I suppose.

Re: I'm busy!

I'm currently dealing with some family / health situations, so have rather reduced time for FreeOrion stuff.

Re: Topics for online voice chat meeting January 30th 2024

So far just o01eg and I. I asked him to test build / run my scratch branch , since recent issues showed the my local tests and passing GitHub Action builds isn't sufficient to be sure... He found some asserts due to moving and then passing a string, and some weird issues with a debug build about bro...

Re: git-HEAD default aggression make the game tedious for humans-players

So all or some ships in the obstructive fleet gets a (permanent) malus to stealth... No. I wrote that obstructing fleet ships would "become visible to the owner of the obstructed fleet, regardless of stealth". Stealth would be unaffected, and visibility by non-blockaded empires would be u...

Re: git-HEAD default aggression make the game tedious for humans-players

New feature request for this issue: https://github.com/freeorion/freeorion/issues/4824 I don't like the suggestion to apply -40 stealth to ships "after first turn of blockade". This suggests that there would be an advantage to swapping in and out of obstructive stance to reset that counte...

Re: Donation options not working

It's not that we / I explicitly stopped accepting donations, but more likely that PayPal starting requiring additional account verification that I haven't done yet.

Re: Policy Cards Jumble

2) metropole was supposed to be a tall strategy. Basing it on sum of population makes it tall-wide again. Also switching focus is not very hard when going to wide (or vice-versa). I'd rather interpret Metropoles, as it is now, as supporting/modeling an empire with a few major economic/industrial/re...

Re: Topics for online voice chat meeting November 28th 2023

Was just me and o01eg. Briefly discussed the current multiplayer game and if there was anything I should comment on, but apparently not. Maybe a pull request with suggested changes is coming soon? Without Vezzra, not much point in discussing release. I'm not sure if I understood him, but I think he ...

Discussed the production queue issue in https://freeorion.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=117703#p117703 and the need for a save or other testing to see if the proposed pull request addresses them. o01eg has saves that he'll post. Discussed Python parsing. The species parsing is almost ready. o01eg is int...
