Типа того

Более внятных претензий нет? Хорошо

Очевидно, документация тут не соответствует функционалу, поскольку «перевод денежных средств в Единицы измерения прав» — это не единственный способ получить эти самые «единицы». Иначе КХ, купленные за ресурсы в Дендрариуме не давали бы доступа к «Дополнительному функционалу Игры», а они дают.

Не знаю, как это должно быть на юридическом, но по сути как-то так:

Только анонс

Не равно. КХ свободно меняются на игровые ресурсы, так что жёсткой связки тут нет. Если предлагать сомнительные сделки в Дендрариуме за Веспен ничему не противоречит, то и за КХ — тоже


В шапке страницы Премиум всё расписано. И если кто-то настолько не умеет читать, что это пропустил — сомневаюсь, что это наша ответственность

alienbee, пока он остаётся в рамках игровой механики, то на него спокойно можно положить тентакль. 7.2 тут точно не применяется.

Чем не вайп?

Угроза
правилам не противоречит. Это механика игры, алло.

Если бы он угрожал взломать аккаунт, «вычислить по IP» и прочими внеигровыми вещами — это было бы нарушением правил. А «я воспользуюсь игрой по назначению» — нет

Большинству людей их ставят в рамках услуги «воспитание», рекомендую пожаловаться тем, кто ею занимался, на некачественную работу.


И на неумение читать правила заранее тоже.

Атаковать он может и так, если нуб-защита не мешает, так что аналогии с IRL-законодательством здесь не подходят.
Более того, если купить его флот, то шанс, что он атакует, только повысится

Если его угрозы в личке раздражают — есть кнопка «Игнор»

That's right, but it's likely to change during testing. I think the partial damage should translate into some chance to lose the colliding unit, since many players have already stated they will happily abuse the threshold scheme.
(Also, I think gravity waves from satellite destruction should be reworked too, they don't fit into the concept of 3D space as they are now.)


Defense already adds a part of its structure to the satellite.


A fight between satellite defenses and hostile fleets that come too close is planned for some future update.


Marketing is working hard to convince everybody in our team that the demand for 3D pew-pew is higher than for 2D or tables with numbers. I don't have access to their data so I can't comment on that.


I too think it's misguided and will result in much of waste both in development resources and players' time. But, as I said, the decision is not mine.

Yes, same as now.


I think it was decided not to include shields so it will be more in line with generic (non-Dome type) defenses, which give bonus to satellite's structure proportional to their structure/armor, but not their shields.
We may revise the collision damage formula for fleets, since it has other problems.


That's the plan for the bright distant future. (Maybe not so distant, but not now either.)


If giant insectoids that teleport between planets doesn't sound “unrealistic” enough for you, why having them move around a planet fast enough to ram into a fleet does?
Many gameplay elements are just gameplay elements. They don't need to be “physically possible” or “explained by lore” — those things may be nice to have but aren't a primary goal.

Fleets in those missions aren't becoming orbital objects yet, so nothing changes for them for now.

The thing is, “medium” and “high” orbits don't really exist. As I see it, they were only needed to “explain” why fleets in local coordinates (LC) don't collide with satellites, even though they are visible in the same 3D space around the planet.
Fleets on “high orbit” were already a part of LC space, the missing part was interaction between them and satellites. Since this part will be added with the upcoming patch, there would be no need for “orbits” — all objects on given galaxy coordinates would exist and interact in the same LC space.


Right now, free-standing fleets (placed to defend “high orbit”/LC), wouldn't attack fleets on satellites automatically. To attack them, you would still need to send an 'Attack' mission from LC directly to satellite. Ships on such a mission will drop out of LC-space until they return from attack. That's not a very consistent behavior, we'll fix that by making attacking fleets present in LC in a future update (or, maybe, even during the testing of this one).

Хоть бы кто-то из вестников Апокалипсиса расчёты привёл… А не просто вопил, что флот для тарана бесплатный, а для спутника тяжким трудом был построен.


Cтанция может в локальных координатах маневрировать и уходить от столкновений.

You can do that in Complaints section, no one would care unless it's really violent. But here, in game mechanics discussion, I'm going to enforce the rules.


If someone wants to drown the game in money and buys a moon, resources for station/dunk and a lot of ships to break someone's satellite — that's not an exploit. Colonizing a Pirate station may be cheaper, but if someone wanted to use it to attack someone's satellite, why would they devise such a convoluted scheme that includes passing the station to a new account?

I'm not saying that costs of new methods are perfectly calculated and all your points are non-issue. We'll most likely revise fleet's 'collision strength' and/or satellite structure bonuses during testing. I just don't see «using freebie ships to break moons» as a realistic exploit scenario.


Not an arcade, fleets are going to be mostly autonomous as they are now. More like blending the “combat space” with “galaxy space” (local coords).


If I were to make a decision, I would limit the amount of effective fleets a player could send off on missions, and make all PvP-like zones (asteroids, stations etc.) controllable only with flying fleets. So anyone could have as many ships as they like, but any meaningful interaction would be limited, to promote better competition and skill in choosing right fleet for each task (instead of top players' dominating with unkillable “steamrollers”).
Administration doesn't like that idea though. They are going for a “Russian way”.



Can't answer this question, because I don't want to enforce this. I don't care about combat being a wall of text (as CS3 was), 2D pew-pew with optional wall of text (as CS4 is now), or a 3D pew-pew (as CS5 is going to be).
I'm also not a player myself, so I don't have any investment in the current state of the game. I'll do my best to make sure the gameplay is “coherent”, but I have no incentive to keep it from being different. And pretty limited decision powers anyway.


A crusade of administration against top players is in full swing, and your account is developed enough to feel that. I'm sorry for all the suffering, but can't help much.


If we wanted a shooter, we could make one from CS4 (current combat system) already. But the manual control is pretty limited now, and it will stay limited. Administration doesn't want players “to win battles by spamming mouseclicks”.
As I see it, this is more about epic pictures, than a radically different gameplay.


I do. We have no obligation to keep any posts, especially those that violate the rules.


It is a nice question.
We are using Babylon.js library, which seems like a better 3D-engine for browsers than any homebrew we could pull off. So if that one is too stressed by our unit amounts, there's no way we could upgrade it to allow smooth operation.
I agree, there could be more humane ways to get out of this situation than forcing players to get rid of their own ships. When earlier combat systems struggled with the same problem, I employed some methods to reduce the load in place (reservation in CS3, clusterization in CS4) without messing with general gameplay. But for the CS5 I'm not going to be a sole/main developer, and I'm mostly picking up what happened during my three year absence for now, so I have little power to decide how to fit the game and new demands together.
As for accumulating funds and announcing Xcraft2 in a single big update instead of butchering a live game — I don't know the financial side of the project to comment on that.

Викинги, скорее всего, будут, они по умолчанию как раз летают.

Удачи, лол.
