Jahled

Thanks for the advice Glandry, but I have done all of the things you've outlined. Curiously, i've noticed that if you bombard any system on the outer rim, even if you just go for military strikes, you run the risk of destroying system resources permently.

Ok, please don't bash me around to hard, but why are we delighted to have http://www.swrebellion.com as well as http://www.swrebellion.net ? My basic thinking of domain names and after dot codes is that they are simply numbers...........yeah? Is a .net domain different to program than a .com domain? The banner exchange, please reveal a bit more. I know what a banner is, but what purpose hosted on the .net side of things? Simple answers guys, I know most of you guys are still at school learning stuff, but me and my generation could never have dreamed of having the resources at our schools/universities you guys have, so don't knock me for holding my hands up and asking, with sarcasim. My ZX-81 made me a fine cup of tea every morning.

Ok, serious subject now guys. My games are being ruined in the latter stages of the game with not just the stupid natural desaster piece of programing crap, but by outer rim systems permenantly loosing system energy when my glorious Imperial fleets invade the rebel vermin. Something has simply got to be done about the games resource management! Can some of you guys more adept than gooks like me put your heads together and figure something out! PLEASE! Months ago we had mutterings of some 'save game editor' from JediGreg. Well it hasn't happened. Everyone of my rebellion games is now being ruined because as I gradually gain dominance in the galaxy my construction points grind to a hault. It's unrealistic, stupid, and seriously frustrating when a system is suddenly hit by the load of crap natural desaster (which has NEVER made any sense from the outset anyway!) I propose much higher system yields of energy all over the galaxy map. Well over double the present yield. Also, none of this outer rim two unit crap. Minimum of fifteen period, galaxy wide. Also, bombardments of systems shouldn't permenantly destroy system resources, that's like saying a bombardment of Pluto would effect the mines on Neptune. Crap! This would enable a seriously hard pressed opponent at least a fighting chance to the end (by using his brain!) and also avoid the stupid scenario of the player who controls 4/5s of the galaxy the hesistation of building another capitol ship for the fear of suffering the hated natural desaster. I am personally fed up with having to mass my fleets throughout the galaxies' sectors in the latter stages of the game through fear of gravity wells because of the stupid resource management. I want to spread them out like in the Star Wars Universe. Finally, maintenance is freezes. That's crap. Mines and refineries should produce a constant flow for you to feed upon, growth! Nothing majestic, but certainly something realistic. This would re-enforce some of my previous points about a crafty player having the opportunity to strike back, and an equally astute dominant player spreading his/her forces to counter this. Ok, rant over! I am increasingly in the belief that, despite the seriosly excellant efforts of the model makers in our community, a very real problem with the game engine needs serious attention. BTW: Please don't quote individual sentances in replies to my post, it will only serve to deviate from my overall objective. I think.

It's all true guys! I joined Dinochick's site (she's a moderator there) and of course my cat followed me and tried to freak out one of the members. Her response was 'I love your cat, he's real cute!' I tried in vein to warn her of her impending danger... but she just got Zoot to help her clean her windows!!! It's true. Join the site, go to the Star Wars General forums and go to Good Afternoon! It's a very different site to this one, and doesn't discuss things like how many Star Destroyers does it take to make your hair fall out with fear when you've only got one damage Corellion Corvette and two depleated squadrons of A-wings....sort of thing!

Meanwhile...in a galaxy far far away.... A secret meeting of the Empire's top brass discuss a critical issue for their newly completed battle station: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0VADjAqAbGNWBYsLsS*MzNsVg7u7qqtu4wJHpttNVkZ3p5hV8rpj!OjvMhOr6fULXJRwYOLY12lWiZ2C0WyCLm9V4kQK!uhZLBVJ*654MwF!ZY8BwQ3hOr5JymD6I9xL5/death_star_brainstorming.jpg?dc=4675421050170052648 A year or two later... http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0UQAtAygazWEdgZWyurVIyPv179jgSJBpuwk9VtFiKD9x*zc84ijQ!yp2xDKDYepHVpe4QhfMnjoaLqrEkL91gjHeYZUh4cu1Qdl1GD90jRyYEsvwosn1p5HimjDktysE/walk_on_the_dark_side.gif?dc=4675421050202089923 BTW: if you guys are stumped think Lou Reed...

Indeed, Scath! Earlier this afternoon, whilst Jahled was out and about delivering things on his bike...young Zoot desided he was bored putting Jahled's CD's in the wrong cases* and walked down to the woods near Jahled's home. There, on a bench, he met two ducks. 'Good day young Kitty Kat!' But Zoot just stared at them. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QwAAAHcUAb0n6uvhy2IQ*KWN*HjlCjal8cGitTa4y7cxJk!XeQvM7!Rm4cJSrC7zR2zY5Q8zuPNFFelTfqTQvSv9JkgxjnemQmcuuOn5EOA/duckcat.gif?dc=4675421049337126459 Oh, indeed Scath, indeed! *Note: Jahled assumes it's his Kat messing up with all his CD's, it couldn't possibly be his girlfriend, hay guys!!!

...emmm...think long and hard I will...

He's around...just waiting for the correct place to launch his evil attacks...

Thanks for asking mate! He's fine! If some of my posts get a little jangled it's because he's hopped onto my computer desk and has desided it's a good idea to walk onto my keyboard or sit infront of the monitor, or the mouse mat. Surely a sign of good health.

1. Oops! Sorry dude. Trej it is. 2. Woo Yey! So every member who joins the news group, the group as a whole gets an additional 3 MB of space. Rah! (It could big!) Ignore my mutterings. Interesting pics of N.Portman you've put up BTW. Jahled climbs further into his tree, leaves rustle, he begins grooming himself for lice.

Was James Bond beginning to question Q's sanity, or was this new 'Zoot-gun' a sinister new development in the Zoot Wars... http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0PQDiAgkS!iEsgFcrpjw7c2!SHAS!lvAWzGsIIxClBg6I9BgXOOFsW1HGdGZdStv*N1psMGUl3c7cK70FtiGzkK4fEGqY3I0u/q.gif?dc=4675420638228981191

'....HO HO HO!!! My timbers they shiver yes, emm..he he... yes they do, emmm! Your booty you hand to me! Yes..emmm!' 'Now that plank you jump you will...emmm!' http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RwDjAjQW*TNG!AmXBhVc2gWua*Eb2UcCgFeVnU!qwkm!Lx!9v6XTCEwI9WP4Xbsve1U1OZBH0pwF**YOm0HNPRg5I!D4ACaSX2yIDtt9X6M/yoda_pirate.jpg?dc=4675420638258255370

And if any of you need evidence of this, and the complete mess of George Lucas's mind, have a look at the complete guide to star wars action figures, or what ever it's called, where you'll see Boba Fett's original helmet was as white as a Stormtroopers (and not pre-final production!), also seen in some of the preproduction paintings, in The Star Wars Archives.

I think Trev's probably got it! BTW: Trev, did you ever get my last email I sent you? I'll do it now if you want.

Gerald. Zoot was using to demonstrate his awesome force power. I think he lives under the fridge.

...according to the ESB book regarding Boba Fett: ..A human bounty hunter, Fett was known for his extremely ruthless methods. He was dressed in a weapon covered, armoured spacesuit, the kind worn by a group of evil warriours defeated by the Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars. A few braided scalps completed his unsavory image. The very sight of Boba Fett sent a shudder of revulsion through the admiral. There were rumors before TPM that they would show up on Tattoine and kill Anakin's mother. I'm kinda hoping they show up in Episode III.

...the day began like any other for Clive: http://www.design4online.com/blog/images/06_05_2003-the%20fly%20gets%20one%20back.gif

My cat has nothing to do with it. He is currently trying to cause havok at other sites where is demonic skills are running into great problems. This is because the sites are filled with babes who overcome him by 'finding him cute!' I despair. Women.

Say, Mask, if no one understands the language the universally hated, loathed, thoroughly cursed, and dreaded natural desaster are in; can't you programmer dudes actually figure out a way to make the computer check every 400 years as opposed to 400 days? That would be a simple solution, eh? Just go to you stereo, put on some Judas Priest again, (you let that one slip recently...) and hack into the files singing 'breaking the laaawww.....breaking the lawwww.....' (dodgy guitar rif, dodgy guitar rif...) oh, and while you're at it adjust the time for new energy resources discovered every ten days... Jahled turns up UFOs 'Doctor Doctor...' ..and logs out!

Down my local I was last night, when this guy turns up: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SAAAALYWQVeGJ!rPlYrfrpHhmkxHq*zWxCPF8GNwi9KJuTXYmmUB5ssbYdSbkSKw41qn82ZJPU*2jBH79skcbeGcBgsiSXI1e8KF!fUamjcAAAAAAAAAAA/yoda_hustler.jpg?dc=4675420638241182080 '...play pool you do! Emmm! Yesss....he he...break you can!' 'No, actually i'd much rather have some ice cream!' 'Emmm! Rasberry ripple you like...emmm? Here, i've only had one lick.' http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SgC0BEcX8YKQ2x9MseYj8SEQHrlGKJ!uOUo*21przuBjxY6898gVm2CDReGgV9GMGqcvQZW4pjLyfrxnLIZv5!sGI!Pi!kdeE73FupqD94pXkfuSaO0SBA/yoda_ice_cream.jpg?dc=4675420638248636234 Anyways, go here and watch the Star Wars movie: http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/dark_switch

Wooo!!! I now know where Darth Vader and all the other Sith hang their cloaks: http://www.roganjosh.co.uk/b3tan2/darkhouse.gif ...in a Darkhouse!

...my memory truely sucks...but I found a seriously extensive game manual on the net... do a google search for rebellion and a page or two in you should find it.

Man, this is getting deep...
