Odd homeworld visibility

I've been seeing some interesting behavior on homeworlds. In chief9h I've lost possession of a robotic homeworld but I persist to have visibility there. There is still population and ownership hasn't changed. In another game, seized3a, all homeworlds became visible on turn4. If not blac-box effect, ...

Ending Score Visibility

Would it be possible to display the end score and current score somewhere prominent in the UI, maybe even in the game window's title bar? We've had a lot of games with strange artificial end times instead that are easily forgotten.

Re: Upscale9n

Yay it's a math game :-) Kitty ranked a nice score for a pirate for sure. I was on the cusp of having absolutely nothing productive to do so the next turn I was planning to step into Davids territory after having an essentially isolationist experience.

Re: Fair play

Dude, you have no idea. No one was "brought" in anywhere. No one is playing two positions. Everyones attacks are their own business. He's operating on his own agenda. Have you not determined that when you act anti-socially it's more than one person that isn't going to greet you with puppy ...

Re: Fair play

You have a quite interesting view of the world and it would be quite clearer if you weren't blinded by your outright uncooperative greediness. If you want to cry: Consider not further pissing off people that you already know are unhappy with your "terms". This is Smart Play. If you leave y...

Predicted Loading with Ambush

Here's a strange problem: I have a Fleet at a world with 1 ship and 1 metal. It's set to move two or three hops and will be ambushed along the way since I haven't entered any orders for an opponent fleet in the way. I'm transferring 1 ships from I ships to the fleet so I'll have 2 ships and 1 metal;...

Re: New game type ideas

Whatever you do don't go too deep on details. We made Master of Orion 3 and it was as good as playing your taxes against the IRS. You probably don't want a game about designing and managing ship designs when so far the game has been largely about managing resources and logistics. Where the Classic g...

Export: Blackholes

Something noticed recently is that when you export the default "Worlds seen directly by me this turn", Blackholes, of course, dont' go with them. I'm sure the intention is to normally provide that kind of information and it would seem useful to have a defaulting option to at least send 'Ho...

Re: RSW version 0.98.6

Bad predictions... in courant3o I'm getting bad next-turn predictions (Turn 3 to Turn 4). My worlds all are a range to unowned of 3, 2, 1 but the prediction jumps to 75 for all worlds. Neat.

Re: RSW version 0.98.5
