yes, I realize you could still all of the following but boo on you if you do.
just a general thinking process. kick around the ideas
call me an idiot, whatever. Of course I'm writing it in PHP...
Game-
Enemy Unseen
Races:
user created races along with selecting up to four bonus attributes.
Diplomatic Options-
Trade Allies- warned before attacking their planets or engaging ships. automatically sent to a planet in
defense mode. must be actively switched to attack. Allows trade routes between races. Steadily increasing
cost of set up so that big players can not get infinite amount of trade routes.
Defence Alliances- When entering pact both sides select a fleet and agree to a certian percentage of the fleet
to be sent automatically to the attacked area to assist in defending. If either side disbands said fleet
they are automatically prompted to select a new fleet. If none exists then the alliance is broken.
Offensive Alliance- When entering pact both sides select a fleet and agree to a certian percentage of the fleet
to be sent automatically to the area to be attacked. If either side disbands said fleet
they are automatically prompted to select a new fleet. If none exists then the alliance is broken.
Population- Steadily Increases depending upon racial bonuses selected unless random events occur to
decrease population.
Fleets-
Bombers, which must be carried and dropped off by cruisers. Meant to decimate ground troops
Cruisers- Cap ships of the fleet, heavy sluggers. Eats through destroyers.
Destroyers- Medium ships, carrys the troops.
Gun Corvettes- Decimates fighters.
Fighters- Good against destroyers and corvettes.
Technology-
Four levels of communication tech. No races can talk to eachother from the start. When races first meet a random
number is generated, this number must be matched or exceeded by current level of tech in order for communicatiion
to take place. i.e. it is entirely possible to understand a race's communications but them to not understadn yours.
Once reach level 4 granted access to in game forum where OOC and IC chat takes place.
Ship upgrades to include armor, shielding, new weapons, propulsion systems.
Colonization techniques, planets must be terraformed before your race willl populate. How long depends upon how
close it is to your standard along with how advanced your terraform techniques are.
Troops have similiar upgrades to ships.
Everything handled in real time. Travel between planets will take real time and certian investments and outposts
will allow enemies to make a guestimate at your destination. Of course that is only if they are looking for you.
