Amazing! With your help there is no need to gen 100 turns to get all the tech. ALL the tech. From MT and other.

I was also proposing to create a coverage for each of the Master Trader planets in form of 10000 armageddoned nubs, but BlueTurbit refused, explainig that this will scare everybody who will visit Traders worlds... Laughing

game engine will depromote them back after next gen and only those are real HW will keep their HW mark.

Fascinating. It must mean there's some other place where a whitelist of HWs is kept. Deal

I can create a fleet right in 2400, which will contain all required ships with these items, the same way as if they were transferred.

That should be enough, at least for scenario purposes. Cool

these structures are useless without encryption knowledge.

Unless you mean that the encription scheme is too deeply entwined with the structures themselves, these should actually be very useful to craft all kinds of algorithms to be run against a common library (or DLL, or web service, or whatever) that would be the gate to the files themselves. Even just to know what is possible and what is not. Work at computer

In other words: do we need to know the encryption to be able to locate the HW whitelist? Could we research bug-stomping or cheat-curbing methods without needing to worry about the encryption details? Can we know what's really there and brainstorm our ideas without breaking the safety veil? Pirate

Please tell me the answer is yes.

Only trouble with the Master Trader game is...
after having been up for a week, it has zero interest.
Oh well. I thought it was a novelty idea for a game. But you never know.

Well with you as host, I know you are going to keep the trade offers fair.. but it's a bit scary, knowing that the races and gameplay aren't the only factors to keep in mind.

It will require a lot of rethinking every few turns.

Not sure if I have the time for that type of game involvement right now Sad

... but it's something I would definitely join in a few months time.

Not so much that they would be scared of the Master Trader, but that they would be scared of you. Laughing

I've looked a few times.

But its been hard to get a handle on race design when what you could be selling may or may not have a large impact on the game.
