Community activity - BlackNova Traders

[Rasbelin]

You might have noticed that ACS is now hosting a BlackNova Traders game (http://apolyton.net/bnt). BlackNova Traders is something like Trade Wars 2002. It's a web based (= you play it with your browser) MMOG game and the idea is that you explore the galaxy, trade, improve your ship, colonialise planets and have space combats. Somewhat related to the Stars! game. As I have found the game interesting and so has many other Apolytoners, I was wondering if there's an interest in a Stella Polaris BNT game on the new StP website? As BNT is somewhat related to StP and there might be an interest for something play while waiting for the Real Game and as we are not always busy with the development work, I was thinking that playing BNT could be something joyful.

kinda cool!

[Vultur]

Sound realy cool.

[Frozzy]

I knew this would come up Great idea

[Lemmy]

Yes, i could use a new server to dominate, since SharpBlue and Osweld has taken over the poly game

[Rasbelin]

Don't worry, Lemmy. I can "edit" you out from the game.

[Lemmy]

Ack and Oi! You BOFH!
And if promise not to take any of your planets

[Lemmy]

Oh, and if you decide to set one up (as if you haven't already )
Make the galaxy a bit smaller, cos a 3000 sectors really is too much for 40 players now on poly, i don't think the StP server will get much more players then that.
Also higher interest, perhaps 0.3% in the IGB, and 0.5% on planets.
Up the maximum number of turns from 2500 to 10k or something.
Lowered production rates, or a lower max colonists, so planets aren't unbeatable when they reach full colonists.

I've founded an alliance named "Stella Plaris" in BNT-TW.
You're invited to join!

'n if you like BlackNova a whole LOT,
I have a brand-new game on a
dedicated server at:
http://atopqualitysite.com/bnt/

(as in, the server hosts atopqualitysite.com,
the game, and nothing else) so it's fairly fast

[MarkG]

instead of playing by yourselves the StP team should play as an alliance in our BNT game #1 that will be reset on Jan 31....

then we can see how good you are

@topsites

Off-topic...

[targon]

OK, it looks like StPDT members are willing to do everything other than actualy develop somthing: chat on the forum, argue about subtile gameplay features of non-existing game and now even play other games on site dedicated to StP development. How interesting....

[Rasbelin]

Markos,

the game uses Lemmy's settings as they were better, plus we need something extra for the website.

Targon,

the website isn't just about StP development. It's the hub of the whole StP community. However I have to agree to a certain extense.
