galaxy generator

September 22, 2007 12:51:17 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
it seems the galaxy generator has some problems in beta 3...

i started a random map game (the big one, 30 planets, 5 stars)

the biggest trouble was that the star system i was in had no connection to the other stars (first i thought i have to research the long jump travel first now, but it didn't change anything...)



so after wiping out the enemy in the first system i'm stuck there...

another glitch was a travel lane directly through the sun (looks odd if my ships fly through the sun)

You shouldn't need lanes. You can now jump from any star to any other star.


But yeah, the random map generator needs some work.

suns don't have phase lanes, you can travel from any star, to any star.



an I have had phase lanes go through grav wells before, that doesn't make sence.

THey mentioned it in one thread, and its been relayed from thread to thread since then. I don't think it actually made the patch notes.

Oh thats really cool, it adds a lot more in my opinion and it definetly gets of the one front war problem I have in some of my games.

I approve
