Change Log for 6.00 discussion

[chrislocke2000]

My preference would be to leave it to RPing.

That or just apply the manufacturing percentage penalty for non imperial populations to the shore leave recovery rate to reflect crews not being quite so relaxed in a slightly hostile environment.

+1
Sounds nice.

[Arwyn]

You will be able to use orbital habitats for the population requirement. I'm sure players will find inventive names for such ships.

I just had a flashback to From Dusk to Dawn...

By the way Steve, are we near a release of 5.70 or can I start Carolus Rise, the return of humans to Sol system and retake Earth??

It's not imminent. We got the keys to a new house on Saturday and have been moving boxes all weekend. The furniture is being moved a week tomorrow, although we also have to fit in a 4-day trip to the UK before then . And then there is work as well, so not much time for programming at the moment.

But without 5.70 I might be in danger of getting a life! Or a girlfriend!

Oh wait, who am I kidding

[Girlinhat]

Depending on the civilization, I could imagine soldiers enjoying a shore leave composed of captured women chained to the wall.  Just sayin', shore leave only needs to be enjoyable for one side to be effective.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

well whichever way you want shore leave to be ;p

[UnLimiTeD]

So it's another month, minimum?
Well, I can wait that long.
Regarding all the discussions about sexual assaults on captured populations, there's probably a lot more to shore leave than that, not to speak of other conditions.
The Atmosphere might be toxic and the captured populaceconsist of spikey balls oozing venomous acid;
Maybe aside the productivity modifier, it should also be affected by the colony habitability, maybe reducing efficiency by 10% relative for every multiplier higher than 1?

Were/are there any plans to move the NA planet movement into RA (ie planets don't only move every 5 days)? Or did that already happen and I just hadn't noticed?

Not at the moment. NA planets have to move regularly because of the movement system. It's more of a 'nice to have' feature in Aurora. It would improve Aurora though so I'll add it to the list.

You need to stop reading this thread or we will never see 5.7.  Seems more likely at this point that it will end up being 6.0.

Given the number of changes, I think you are probably right

Well, then give it another month, guess a release date in late autumn, and call it officially 6.0.^^ Add a "beta" so you can still refine it for the next year X-D.

If the moving system is too taxing, adding an option to move planets every 1 days if there are ships in the system would do?
