Good to know! Tim- how about some input here :> Just to know you are alive and hearing our commentary. Also there is a rumour that 3.0 is effectively "done"... and it would be great if you could give us a list of new features, etc. (A spoiler sheet, if you will.) Further information regarding when you anticipate "releasing" this version would be great also. (As well as such info as what us registered people have to do to get the NEXT registered version, etc.) Thanks in advance! -=Steve Crawford

Has anyone put together an ascii file listing the attributes of each race's ships? If so, perhaps you could post a copy? Thanks! -John

Has anyone put together a schedule of the types and number of beam weapons that planets acquire at different levels of defense? Also, how does mass affect the amount of damage a ship can take? Finally, do fighters always do 1% per shot? Thanks! -John

Actually, yes I have. It is quite extensive and took me quite
a while to write up. It also includes data such as cost of
stardrives, weapons, torpedo launchers, etc. Pretty much
everything I could think to put on there is on there.
HOWEVER- I am currently involved in a rather intense game where
I believe I may be in serious jeopardy from the 4 or 5 players
who seem to have it out for me, and so I am very hesitant to
post this information to this newsgroup. (I know they read this..
Hi guys :> )
I would have posted it long ago except I didn't want to give
away any more information than I had to. (Many of these players
are rather substantially ahead of me!) By some twist of fate
however, I was given control of an "inactive" race, and I think
this will help to offset my obvious disadvantage. I intend to
use this race to help me stay alive in the coming turns :>
SO- one good turn deserves another. In the interests of fairness
and a good game (with those I am playing with), I will post my
compiled "quickreference sheet". For those of you not playing the
game I am in, you will find this VERY handy if you dont already
have something like this.
Any questions/comments/etc are welcomed!

Hello everybody (again), It has been impossible to convert the sheet to ASCII automatically, and I certainly don't want to do it by hand :-) The PostScript file is about 1,2 Megabytes (~185 kb ZIP'd), so I'd rather not post it, either. I was thinking of putting it on ftp.ucsc.edu (where you can find VGA Planets), would that be a good idea? Can I do it anonymously? I have an option to put it here, on iesd.auc.dk, but I'd have to see the administrator first and as I prefer to keep related things together, I'll much rather put it on ftp.ucsc.edu.

There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Roger The Shrubber *******************************************************************************
