Captain's Log

Updating the captain's log is easy and fun! Here are some tips!

  • Log the date as the real date played but instead of "2020" use "3420" or whatever the appropriate date is per the timeline above.

  • When writing you can either do you own story in your own part of the galaxy or participate with other players by writing stories that complement their stories. Example:

    • Player 1 logs that he is trapped on a planet.
    • Player 2 launches a rescue mission for player 1
    • Player 3 is doing his own exploring and logging elsewhere.
  • If you would like to establish a "fleet mission" or side mission just update the missions page. So that the other players can see the story lines that are in progress at a glance.

Navigation

After a lot of thought and discussion, the team decided to stick with portal coordinates as the primary navigation because:

  • spaceships can travel limited distances.
  • there are no directional markers inside of the spaceship which makes navigation difficult.
  • it would take too much time to travel from base to base in a ship.
  • Physical coordinates only point to region not planet

Graphing Your Region!

If you want to graph your region and create your own galaxy map, here are the instructions!

Convert Portal Coordinates to Hexadecimal Coordinates

Convert Hexadecimal to xyz Coordinates

  • The xyz coordinates given here are in terms of regions. 1 unit = 1 region = 400 light years across.

Graph X + Z on a Google Scatter Plot

  • The center of the galaxy is (2048,2048)
  • The galaxy is 4096 across
  • You need to adjust your x and z value accordingly before plotting so ((x-2048), (z-2048))
  • See example code located at: assets/js/charts.js and on the galaxymap.html

Colonies

The team decided that colonies are planets inhabited (we have based there) by the team to serve a core fleet purpose:

  • Farming
  • Mining
  • Embassy (near another civ)
  • Capital (main base location)
  • Under Water Research Lab
  • Just a beautiful location.
  • Outpost in a certain unexplored region of the galaxy.
  • Etc, etc

Logging a Colony

Colonies are posts with a category of colony and a tag of region. The name of the colony should be the same as the planet name.

Colony posts should be saved as:

dateFounded-founder-PlanetName.md

Colony posts should contain pictures of the colony and describe its purpose to the fleet! For example, lots of xyz resource, under water research lab, outpost near (center, quadrant, etc, embassy to the (name of other civ found)
