Ask about Stella Polaris

[Rasbelin]

This thread is dedicated for a small questions that don't warrant new threads as they are not that special or demand too specific explanations. Feel free to ask the development team about the project and issues related to it. Please also check the "Stella Polaris FAQ for Apolytoners" as your question might already been answered there. Also be patient as we aren't always here lurking for possible questions.

OK, here's a small one.

You mention something about web services in the FAQ.
What do you mean by that?

A new web site/forums or something else?

[Rasbelin]

The new web services will be located on a new server, on a different continent, at a different ISP, with a new domain, with a new Stella Polaris website (there's no such website right now, only one about FreeAC) and with new Stella Polaris Forums (not seen yet).

[Keygen]

OK, thanks Rasbelin

I have a question.
About the unit system, how are you planning to implement it? Like CTP (armies), SMAC (unit workshop), Civ3 (Civ2+CTP?)?

[Blake]

Stacked combat will be the norm.. unlike CTP2 there wont be a small limit to the # units in an army. If you want to stick your entire military in a single stack, you'll be allowed to.

Units will be designed in a workshop from components, a little more detailed than the SMAC system.

I Like that.

I´m not sure about this... I guess It will be wait and see.
Thank you Blake.

Tech tree?

[Rasbelin]

Yes, there's going to be a tech tree. It hasn't yet been designed, but it will be done later on.

[Frozzy]

All of the details on the FreeAC forums are obviously not online now. Will these major ones be transferred to the SP forums of Poly?

[Rasbelin]

The contents of FACF aren't moved anywhere. They will be erased and the mySQL database and file attachment uploads will be stored elsewhere.

[Closey]

At least they're not lost. If there would be some absolute need for them I could fish them back up somewhere..

[DeathByTheSword]

maybe very stupid question but what is the deal with the progress how far are you....still brainstorming.....I hope so.....just a little question from a active person on the forum?!

[Joeno]

We're for a large part still in the designing fase - looking at how the game and its mechanics should be set up, how it will work and everything. Also, I believe Blake is working on a very first version of the software, which has minimum functionality. I think more progress will be made once we're on our own server, and can continue things like the Game Outlook Documents and stuff.
