Everyone's subforum is set up and ready to go.
It is currently 4:12 PM PST and I would like the orders for Turn 1 ready to go ideally in 24-48 hours. After this turn I would like to have turns ready by Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week.
What is needed for that to happen is SOP in your forums, how you spend your starting ship funds, if I don't have 100 size worth of troops from you please make a ground forces thread with the composition of your ground forces including hierarchy, I also need your first research project, any trade/espionage you want to try on turn one, and your planned ship movements.
-
I have gotten all of Turn 1's orders in and will have a write up within a couple of hours. I would love it if we can get Turn 2 orders submitted by the end of the day Wednesday, which is in about 36 hours.
-
I will :)
-
Turn 1 is completely processed and everyone has their results.
For the rest of the community I will be writing up things to let you guys know what happens as soon as the information is known to everyone.
-
Turn 2 has been processed and is done. I will run Turn 3 when I get everyone's orders.
-
Turn 3 has been successfully processed and done. By the way, in case anyone was wondering, Turn 3 was March 2300.
Also a note, this evening I will be leaving for a long weekend at the beach and I may not have internet at the beach. I can probably run a few turns in the time between then and now if orders for the turns stay what I think they will be, but I will just worry about Turn 4 which we might get to do.
-
A clarification of my math for those of you who are predicting your income from turn to turn. When your economic health changes, say from 8 to 9, what I do is I take the new percentage and divide it by the old, so in our example 120/115. Then I multiply that by what you got in income the last turn and then I round it to the nearest whole number. I find that not only is this slightly easier in not having to look up several places for the right values but it gives a slight fluctuation that leads to long term economic change rather than hitting a couple of brackets that only change when your colony grows or your tax rate changes, which I find to be more realistic.
-
Turn 4 is processed and in.
-
I have processed Turn 5 and would like to process the rest of the year tomorrow, most of you have given me orders for the next several months and should be just fine with that, if anyone isn't please let me know in your fourm.
-
Turn 6 has been processed and is about to be posted. Instead of the yearly growth of population I am doing six month growth which happened first this month and will happen every 6 turns. For those of you wondering how I am rounding I am rounding to the hundredths place, which is equal to the 10,000s of people.
-
Turn 7 is processed and posted and I am starting work on turn 8 right now.
-
Turn 8 is processed and turned in. Unfortunately I can not continue like I had hoped earlier today because I have to get replies from more than one of you on orders. I have addressed them in red at the bottom of your turn results.
-
Turn 9 is processed and posted. I will get Turn 10 up later and I think I can finish out the year as well.
-
And with that ends Turn 10 with Turn 11 starting right now.
-
With Turn 12 being posted, we have finished our first year. 2300 is over and 2301 will be starting in the next day or two. We are officially 3 weeks ahead of my original time frame.
-
2301 is starting tomorrow afternoon. I have some newspaper articles celebrating the new year that will go up in the morning and then after an interview I have I will start 2301.
-

-
Sorry I haven't gotten to the turn yet, I have everything set up but I forgot its Mother's Day this weekend so with 1 mother and 2 mother-in-laws I might not get to the turn until Monday.
-
I am working on the next set of turns right now and will start posting them soon, that being said a lot of things are happening in my real life right now and will be gone for almost the entirety of next week starting on Saturday.
-
Turn 13 is processed and posted.
-
I am going to process a couple turns right now because I most likely will not get a chance to do any turns next week.
-
And I can only do Turn 14 because I need orders from someone before I continue.
-
I am back from my recent absence and will do a turn or two either tonight or tomorrow.
-
Turn 15 is posted. Also I am starting the job I interviewed for a couple weeks ago so that might limit me a bit.
-
Gratz
-
I deeply apologize that the "might limit me a bit" turned into almost a year and a half absence. I still have the files for this game, are the players still active and if so do we want to revive this?
-
I wasn't involved in this one, but welcome back.

Shame on Eric for not programming the AI who is posting for him to be able to follow and comment on an Astra Imperia campaign.
-
I'm here, and so is my wife
well actually that's a lie, only one of us is here.
and Welcome Back!

It'll make defeating him easier if it's only an AI!
-

I did start reading up on neural nets and learning AI for AI... :D
-
Holy crap, Eric's AI is learning about artificial intelligence in order to create it's own AI, we should all be very afraid.
-
I still exist, and am interested
-
Ok, we have heard from everyone but Ektoras.
-
Ektoras does not seem to be around anymore so MarcAFK will be replacing him and we should be able to restart the game by the end of the week at the latest.
-
I noticed in an earlier thread that the version for purchase on dbrpg is different to the play test version, could I get a copy of the current rules ?
-
Yay! Now to try to remember what my plans were.

Good timing. I'll be out of town this coming weekend.
-

I updated the DTRPG file a couple of weeks ago. It should be current. I'll double-check that though.

Should I update? I think my playtest rules are 18 months old, and I asked you a LOT of rules questions between then and now?
-
Yay! Now to try to remember what my plans were.
I really really hope I wrote down what I was planning, but I have a feeling I didn't...
-
I will work on helping you guys figure it out.
-
thanks, first step is back to reading my faction threads!!
er if I could find them that is...
-

That is actually a great question. Those of us who played last year have editions that are about a year and three months to a year and a half old. Has there been a new edition since? If so do we want to transfer editions?
-
I barely got the hang of the rules we were using, and have since forgotten anyway, so I have no objections to updating.
-

I think any updates since then have been of the fluff and typographical fix types.
-
Ok current rule set it is.
-
I just sent everyone a copy via DTRPG.com. Check your emails. (Not board mails)
-
my other question;
where are the sub forums?

You might need to change your active group.
-
Sematary,
Are you going to include the civilian corporations as you talked about previous?

Yeah. I need to figure out how to implement them in this game. Will be done either late tonight or tomorrow.

So good news is everyone can get into their subforums as far as I know. Bad news is I am currently on the wrong coast to do the game.
-

I just noticed you are back, good luck with the campaign.
If you need more players, i would like to join.
-
You can take it back, I haven't even purchased or read the rules yet :'(
-

No no i wont do that, as long you want to play i stay out, i just asked in case he wants to add more players.
-
Things are a little crazy right now, so its taking me a few days more than I had hoped or planned. Later today I will be making a ruling on if some rule changes Erik has told me about will be added to this game or not. I would like all players, Erik excluded since he is already doing this, to PM me and we can have a discussion on where we stand readiness wise.
-
As you guys seem to know Turn 16 has been posted. I have orders from each of you and can do more turns later. Working on my new house first.
-
ok, so who's running the Chinese so I know who to pm for diplomacy Ektoras or MarkAFK?

As far as I know it's Mark

MarkAFK
-
Ni hao!
May the chinese people prosper under my most capable leadership.
Surely i can't do worse than what usually happens with china around here.
Btw thx for the rules Eric, I'll finally be reading through them tonight.
-
I'm pretty sure it's compulsory that everything bad that can happen will happen to the Chinese on this forum! plus you're orbiting Jupiter, and nothing good comes from that!!
-
We shall see...
-
Turn 17 has finished and been posted. Things are starting to happen for most players right now and I will be posting more news stories in the near future. Reminder to anyone planning on doing FTL exploration soon, FTL I gives you a limit of 5 light years and the only star within 5 light years of Earth is Alpha Centauri.

A quick and dirty AI Missile design spreadsheet in ODS (should work fine in Libreoffice & Open Office, may work in Excel, but I'd need to go to another computer to test that, and well I couldn't be bothered :D )
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibpsmtywd5blvxn/Astra%20Imperia%20Missile%20Builder.ods?dl=0
-
Why do 2 Fission warheads cost 75 and not 50?
-
er either inflation or I uploaded the wrong version of the spreadsheet!
try this one
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibpsmtywd5blvxn/Astra%20Imperia%20Missile%20Builder.ods?dl=0
-
That one is worse. :) Shows 150 cost for 2 warheads.
Basic Missile, 2 Fission Warheads, NT engine. Should run 100MCr. Your first sheet showed 125, the second shows 200. Both times the cost on the warhead has been wrong.

hmmm, when I do that I get 100

what spreadsheet are you using? it's built on Libre Office 5.0.2.2

Using the latest version of MS Office.

OK, that's not a may it's a doesn't. Thanks, means I didn't have to get off the couch to check it ;)
I've changed the lookup's to use absolute references, that might help with excel
-
Turn 18 has started but depending on how a few things turn out it might take awhile for me to post it. There is a chance we will see our first battle this turn.

Ruh Ro Raggy!

OK
newest version of the AI Missile design sheet.
Open Office/Libre Office
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ibpsmtywd5blvxn/Astra%20Imperia%20Missile%20Builder.ods?dl=0
and an Excel version (tested on excel 2007)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kltcf178h8xk56e/Astra%20Imperia%20Missile%20Builder.xls?dl=0
My ship design sheet doesn't do weapons yet, but seems to cover most other options
-
I was thinking on the way home tonight. I can release a race generator and a system generator as stand alone apps. This would aid greatly I think. The code would be using the same code that AI Aide is using, so any updates there would affect this also.

Looking at the armor note. For a Basic missile, it says "Max 2", it should be 1. Advanced shows 6, when it should be 4.
I used the following formula to get the correct value: =B24*0.5
-
amended
-
Is the open office version showing the same value?
-
I amended the open office one, then did a save as to get the excel one
-
Its really interesting to see each of you play since you all have slightly different problems to solve and completely different philosophies. I am also happy to say that all of you seem like you are pretty close to each other overall if I were to rank you in several different areas. I won't rank you though because at least in the area of income per turn the spread is such that I am pretty sure that the person in second place would be surprised to learn they are in second and same with third place.

I have orders from boggo, Erik, and Panoception. Just need orders from Mark.

Sorry for the holdup !

Sorry for the holdup !
No hold up. I am actually moving tomorrow and have been doing a lot the last week or two to renovate the house enough to make it move in ready so right now is a perfect time to be a bit slow
-
Ha! I'm currently spending a lot of my time looking for a house, what we can afford is rather bland so we're looking at a lot of cheaper ones that would be ok with minimal renovation.

Best of luck to you. I got a very American house I must say, its almost 100 years old, surprisingly large with a decent sized yard, and is in the middle of the second largest city in the state.
-
Ok everyone, please make sure your orders are up to date, I plan on doing the turn either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
-
I need orders from the Middle Kingdom and would like everyone else to double check their orders. Then we can make the next (few) turns.
-
I'm goot.
-
you're Groot?
-
He's Groot. I'm Goot.

I've always considered R to be a second string letter anyway, so I'm happy to overlook it
