so, let's see - the more turn_wait you have, the faster you accelerate?

I was wondering how SC2 does certain things:

1. Slowing down the ship when attempting to thrust if you're already above max speed

Pretty much just adds a linear deceleration of more than your normal thrust.

2. Planet gravity

Badly.  Think VUX limpet behavior. Make up your own system.

"How much fuel would it take?"

Zero. Just go via TrueSpace.

- On Chmmr:
Everything they would do under the slave shield would in theory have to be in total secrecy, since the Ur-Quan probably aren't dumb enough to leave them unsuperised.

They abandoned their starbase...

Woah! Forgot about this, although it doesn't make a difference since I had an engagement in Real Life™ at exactly the same time.

It also has to do with the fact that the Chenjesu were super-technologicians (or whatever you call them) by nature. Kind of a stroke of luck. IIRC, no race before the Chenjesu had even been a challenge to the Ur-Quan. This quadrant in general - location of the Precurors' final actions (including the Mycon), all the Alliance races having been given technological help by the Chenjesu, the trans-dimensional races and the creators of the Mmrnmhrm being interested in it for some reason, etc.

Even if they're both a first pick?

Damn. This is another host advantage.

...warping in already aimed at each other and blasting each other to pieces with the lasers. No problem.

Crappy turnout could be because you set it for Valentines weekend. 9 / 10 girlfriends say they will dump your ass if you ignore them and play in a tournament all afternoon at this time.

I have 10 girlfriends? Sweet!

If the smoke is really that opaque, shouldn't the players be unable to see out of it?

[POINT: Does anyone know how to make the Yehat shield only reactivate if the shield isn't already up (i.e. remove the wasteful shielding that occurs when you hold the secondary)?]

Yes.

Tip: the shield is up when the ship element's life_span is greater than NORMAL_LIFE.

But seeing as this is programming, I'm guessing it's much more annoying than that.

You have put your finger upon it.

Dec 12 08:11:44 Elvish_Pillager   There are:
Dec 12 08:12:19 Elvish_Pillager   - 32 velocity units to a world unit
Dec 12 08:12:28 Elvish_Pillager   - 4 world units to a display unit
Dec 12 08:12:36 Elvish_Pillager   - 4 display units to a max-zoom-out pixel
Dec 12 08:12:58 Elvish_Pillager   - 256x240 max-zoom-out pixels to a max-zoom-out view
Dec 12 08:13:13 Elvish_Pillager   - 2x2 max-zoom-out views to the space

A display unit is also equal to the width of a max-zoom-in pixel.

I tested something with SuddenDeath on net melee. We  build our fleets and then picked our ships in the order they were on the ship list, from left to right. It was quite interesting, and I think it deserves to be a ruleset of some sort.

You could add it here.

Haha, blitzmax.

Dragon: Tell that to LGP...

The hypothetical mugger isn't exactly intelligent either.
