#transcendence (09-30-2012)

[00:54]	<NithrilDark>	so how do I do these things?
[00:54]	<jamj316>	By asking less questions
[00:55]	<NithrilDark>	really? Who are you?
[00:55]	<jamj316>	I am jimj316, who are you?
[00:56]	<NithrilDark>	I am NithrilDark, named after the all powerful bringer of chaos Nithril Darkshard.
[00:56]	<RPC>	NithrilDark: ok, first you need to know XML and TLISP
[00:56]	<NithrilDark>	got it *writes down on notepad*
[00:56]	<RPC>	after that you need the ability to create topology and seed it with sovereigns that have an AI that reacts to criteria
[00:57]	<RPC>	also, get notepad ++
[00:57]	<NithrilDark>	do I need to purchase it?
[00:57]	<RPC>	then after that you add in a randomized upgrading system that creates better weapons over time, and keeps curves but that can change as well
[00:57]	<RPC>	free
[00:57]	<RPC>	also, you need a factional system that would create splinter factions over time
[00:57]	<RPC>	and keep some tech
[00:58]	<NithrilDark>	wait *writes furiously*
[00:58]	<RPC>	you'd also need to keep track of asteroid belts and some economic stuff
[00:58]	<RPC>	dude, copy paste
[00:58]	<RPC>	and also have some tactical AI
[00:58]	<RPC>	carrier ai would be optional, but hoped for
[00:58]	<RPC>	also, you'd need some way of generating lore
[00:59]	<RPC>	and dynamic dockscreens
[00:59]	<RPC>	lore as in how Dwarf Fortress does it
[00:59]	<RPC>	dynamic dockscreens as in epic missions that change according to a sovereign's goals
[00:59]	<RPC>	and also create your own fuel tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	reactor tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	weapon tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	cargo hold tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	ship tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	station tiers
[00:59]	<RPC>	planets
[00:59]	<RPC>	asteroids
[00:59]	<RPC>	nebula images
[00:59]	<RPC>	hopefully nebula parallax
[01:00]	<RPC>	tactical AI
[01:00]	<RPC>	weapon damage curves
[01:00]	<RPC>	shield damage curves
[01:00]	<RPC>	armor tiers
[01:00]	<RPC>	armor damage curves
[01:00]	<RPC>	some kind of dockscreen generator text that is consistent with the faction
[01:01]	<RPC>	also being able to change sovereign alignments at will and stuff for when two factions fight over territory or something
[01:01]	<RPC>	some kind of "aggression level"
[01:01]	<RPC>	and then after that making it persistent
[01:01]	<RPC>	having planets and move positions after a couple real life months
[01:01]	<NithrilDark>	WAIT A MINUTE
[01:01]	<RPC>	that would create dynamic battlefields and shifting aliances
[01:02]	<NithrilDark>	WAIT A MINUTE
[01:02]	<RPC>	yeah?
[01:02]	<jamj316>	NithrilDark, seriously, just copy and paste
[01:02]	<RPC>	yeah
[01:02]	<jamj316>	Or save the logs
[01:02]	<NithrilDark>	thats not it
[01:02]	<RPC>	oh, what is it?
[01:02]	<NithrilDark>	need to say something
