Oooooo...

It's not about to win any beauty contests, but you can always put a pretty face on it later after you're comfortable with the technology.  I'd suggest using the ship images and mimicking the in-game fleet picker screens.

you dont like the <pre> with a print_r ?  lol yeah, I originally did this for when my buddy and me play, but if people like it I can beautify it somewhat.

I plan to add constrant options like one of each ship or mutually exclusive teams, where each ship is unique to a team.

Excellent; I entered bug #858 in the bug database as an enhancement, which pretty much describes what you wrote... Perhaps you can link it up with that ?

I wrote a random team generation program quite a while ago:
http://bilious.homelinux.org/~paxed/code/uqmteams.c

Squisherxxx: perhaps you could add a link on the php script where the user could download the generated team file as a *.mle file, so he can save it into ~/.uqm/teams/

And, to scratch my own itch, here's a different team generator: http://bilious.homelinux.org/~paxed/uqmteam/

It shows the ship images and allows downloading the teams as .mle or melee.cfg files.

EDIT:
...And it now supports limiting ships to a team, and naming the teams: Random Old Alliance and Hierarchy Teams.
There's still slight problems with IE (though it's usable), and Opera (my code is buggy, opacity doesn't work)

EDIT 2:
It works with Opera now.

paxed, that looks fantastic. That should be implemented into UQM.

Why don't all races have point defense lasers?

FWIW:

A simpler solution to this might be to have an extra "box" when selecting ships in melee:
So instead of picking your desired ship, you just pick a box with a "?" on it, and it picks a ship at random.

Of course, this would lack the added functionality of a more complex system that lets you exclude certain ships, set ship cost ranges, maximum instances of each ship and so forth, but might be good enough as a start?

Hey paxed, ive added some new features to my random generation.  We each have intersting things which make our generators unique.  perhaps we should do some coding together to make a unified random team generator
