Chat about Stellar Civilizations; October 25th, 1998

People asking questions in Black
Jason Kozak in Red


Can you have a secretary manage diplomacy?
What's the max amount of players /per game?
Yes, this secretary will warn you of suspicious movements and warn you about moves that might violate a treaty
I'd like to have one throw insults to provoke treaty breaking 
As for mplayer as many as your computer can take without crashing 
Will you have a "gathering" place to find players?
Jason, you said something on the page about a hosting program....
We're unsure of that at the moment
Du monde what exactly is going to be?
Will I, for example, be able to create a SC server? ?
You mentioned PBEM, will SC be playable (and enjoyable) in a PBEM form?
Probably (in the works), but it's greatest advantages are used in non direct game management.. it will generate at certain times, retrieve the turns from email, etc. Jason, are you sure about the system requirements you have posted on your site?
Will you be able to play over the modem or just the net?
Modem, serial, IX, and net 
Should be at least 133mhz and 16mb at least
Can we take a break, and let the AI take over for a while?
But by next summer that shouldn't be a problem
I'm not familiar with e-mail games, how will it work? and isn't it going to be VERY slow?
Host sends out update files, players play their turns and send their turn files back, host generates and repeat
No, we're optimizing the generation code to be able to process 30 players in several seconds
So, now that Jason is away, what do you think of the game? :) just joking of course....
I think the game- oh... you're joking:)
Jason, you must have done a big research about planets I see that you have put lots of tiny details about them...
Like about the fact that warmer planets are closer to the center of the system or system types....
Oh.. yeah.. makes things a bit more realistic the 3 planetary variables (so far) are temperature, gravity, and UV
A really important question, what's the color of aliens?
Not atmosphere?
If you can build FTL ships, you can surely build a few environment domes
How much memory do you plan for this to take up on our computers?
It's automated.. you just pop the ppl down
What about terra forming?
About 40mb
