Round 13
So far this has been announced about the upcoming round:
Various tidbits
I am delighted to be able to let you know a few of the changes we will be seeing in round 13. The changes are varied, but nothing to radical or scary -Upgraded planets can create, join and leave buddy packs before the shuffle. -The galaxy-system will now no longer create more galaxies, but keep filling up those we have. -The PA Mail system has been rewritten - both planets and alliances can now send messages to planets and alliances. When alliances send messages, no coords or planet-names are revealed, only the name of the alliance. -Messaging your entire alliance is now done from the new messages page under Alliances, by PR-officers, BCs and HCs. Doing that will message anyone accepted into the alliance, even the recruits. -When updating status / kicking an alliance member, the updater can now add a message to the planet being updated. (From the alliance, no coords revealed ofc.) -GCs must now supply an explanation for a started exile, and the exilee is sent a message about the started exile with the explanation. -The old members page has now been split up into 2 pages, Members and Applicants. -The process of accepting / rejecting new members has been redesigned for better communication etc. -The Members page now lists more data for all members, and the members can be sorted -Pre-paid credits are added when a planet is activated rather than with regular script running. -Scans are now deleted after 24 hours -Various Code Optimisations More information will come in the next few weeks |
Round-name
Despite there not being much information about Round 13 yet released, it is going to happen! As such we need a name, and therefore we will be running the customary name competition. Here's how it works If you can think of a good name for Round 13 then all you need to do is e-mail it to [email protected] with the subject line "R13 name comp". Don't forget to include your nickname so we know who's submitted it. You can submit as many names as you want to, but the deadline is 23:59 GMT on Sunday 16th January. The winner will not only get to see their name being used throughout the round, but will also recieve a free credit for the round. In the event of the winning name being submitted more than once, the first person to submit it will recieve the credit. To inspire you here are the names of the previous rounds of Planetarion: Round 1 - The Beginning Round 2 - The Struggle for Power Round 3 - The New Dawn Round 4 - The Tides of War Round 5 - The Price of Freedom Round 6 - First Encounters Round 7 - Critical Diplomacy Round 8 - Final Legacy Round 9 - Redemption Round 10 - Genesis Round 11 - A Legend Reborn Round 12 - The Edge of Darkness - A2 |
Production-page
According to blixxard, we can expect a new productionpage!
Production! Production! Production!
You can have a look at the Terran: HERE You can have a look at the Xandathrii: HERE As you can see, it looks pre round 10, but added ship images. You can still change the skins, but the ship renders will stay. I put it to the community to ask questions on the designs and thoughts on it. Would you like to see the images/description hide able option, disable images, or keep on permanently? Please if you are going to criticize the make over give valid reasons. Also could you keep the posts relevant to the thread. Many Thanks General consensus so far seems to be the idea of having a “Disable Images” option on preferences. |
Ships
What is known so far: Marauder will be spelled correctly (opposed to Maurauder as it is now)
