This is cool, but depending on when you are playing the response time is slow.

Sometimes I was timing out (at the same time that poly was giving me the too busy message). If this takes off it will be a bandwidth whore.

I also do not like the RS moves that give you a message and then one selection to go the sector page.

i guess that it doesnt have an auto-move to the sector page in order to see how many turns you spent on the move

i could always add an auto-refresh. it's php after all

[Spaced Cowboy]

Same thing happens when you make a planet.
You get a message, you made a planet and the selection to go to the main menu.
However, if you tried to put a sixth planet in the sector, you get and error message instead and the return to the menu. Whenever, I create a planet, I want to go to the planet menu.

Thanks Lemmy, that explains a few things.

Wow, why's this game suddenly get over 20 players when we were lucky to get 2 or 3 to play TradeWars? If I'd known there were people willing to play games again, I might've set up a server. I've got an extra computer and a router, now, so it could be perpetual without a problem...

[General Ludd]

Ugh, I can't believe I just killed myself attacking one of Shadyblue's planets . I guess there isn't much competition for first place anymore.


Ah well, atleast I got one of his planets before killing myself on his defenses.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Well, I found some of Tam's planets. They were way too strong for me. Anyone interested?

[SharpBlue]

Well. You should have protected your new planet more than that if you wanted to keep it.

The fun thing is that all these planets used to be Lemmy's, before I stumbled upon them. All 6 planets already had over 2M colonists too, so it was worth taking them.

If that's any consolation to you Osweld, the power difference tends to shrink a lot later on in the game, because of the diminishing return on ship upgrades. You haven't lost yet, but I should be able to keep first place for a while

I was going to build up defenses after I took the three of them.

I know, I'd already scouted out all of Lemmy's planets... Guess I should of conquered him while I had the chance. (No more mr. niceguy! )

[SharpBlue]

Grrrr....

Osweld, this little stunt of yours in my sector cost me over 1.5 billion credits. Not to mention about 100 turns. If I *ever* find your ship, I'm gonna zap you out of the galaxy, Federation Bounty or not.
