:clap: :clap: Nice update, Adam, thank you! I don't think it's that we're sick of infrastructure as much as we're wary of diving down the rabbit hole again and getting consumed by development of the tool rather than the game: it's the all-in focus that we've seen before and don't feel is appropriate...

Monday, April 30, 2018 Hi :wave: I had so much progress last week that I felt it would be unwise to wait until this Friday to share. To that end, I started writing a log last Friday. Sadly for me, happily for you, it was too long to finish, so I finished it today! Hope you enjoy :) Flow-Based Econo...

Couple questions about the discovery mechanic: 1. When you sell information, every AI and it's dog learns it? Or will we be able to sell information to select AI factions, groups, or individual ships? 2. Will the AI be capable of exploration and scouting to make discoveries themselves? 3. If discov...

That's really very cool. It seems to me that the underlying mechanism is defined by a differential equation system. This is in line with the discussion about rates of change rather than quantities. It would be interesting to see if one could derive a generic set of equations from this, and determin...

So many questions! - (1) With 50K AI units, will the player be able to have a meaningful impact on the economic dynamics? - (2) If I destroy some freighters of iridium (for example) will that cause iridium prices to spike? - (3) If I destroy some iridium-stealing pirates, will that cause prices to ...

Friday, April 20, 2018 Yet again I bid you a happy Friday, fellow pilots! It's been a fun two weeks. I've concentrated my efforts entirely on the game simulation and high-level AI, in pursuit of a working economy, as per my last log. I'm pleased to report that, after two weeks, we do indeed have a ...

Just as the scrolls foretold.

(...well, a few years late but.. )

There are a lot of posts here to which I would love to respond -- and perhaps I'll find the time to do so at some point -- but for the moment I do just want to pop in and restate that the idea was only discussed so as to fill the devlog with a little meat. It would have been rather lean without it. ...

Friday, April 6, 2018 Happy Friday o7 This log is going to be short (EDIT: modestly-sized) and underwhelming. I'm tired and lacking in the usual flair due to a long and not-so-great month. Real life has been both more time-consuming and more exhausting than usual this month, and that's all I'm goin...

and i can already feel hyperion's turbines wind up on that topic :ghost: Oh yes, I could feel the breeze while typing out the ideas :ghost: I certainly ought to mention my " what about civilians " post at this point, as well as my civilians demo. :D Very, very happy that you posted this, Josh!!! :t...

Goodness, if we're talking about getting paid to worry about LT now...I can retire four years ago as the most lucrative developer in the history of the universe!! :D :lol: In all seriousness, I hope the (self-disclaimingly-underwhelming) log lives up to at least ~25% or so of expectation. So I think...
