Hi!

I wonder if the new WS&IM could have some sort of signal flags communication implemented for big multiplayer scenarios?

I'm not sure whether such thing exists in the implemented edition of rules (in some edition it did in some form).

I think it could add greatly to the playability and flavor of large fleet multiplayer games.

I intend to expand the chat system to allow private team chats. Now, I haven't done it yet because some might consider it very un-sportsmanlike to have a full chat saying, "I'm moving 3hexes, then turning right, so you go do this." In tournament games, I believe only hand signals are allowed and all players on both sides can see it.
So, I'm holding off on this until I finish tweaking all the tiny bugs, and the big UI needs. Then want to add Leagues, Missions, Tournemants, and Careers. The messaging system plays into that somewhat.

(Also working on single player missions! The AI player is actually pretty good!)

One thing at a time. I really should pay more attention to work.... nah.


Derek, any thoughts?

Does anyone else play in team tournaments?

There have been team tournaments here, though many years ago. Communicating via the chat was allowed since they used signal flags to pass along orders and such. Some teams had a code, so it was public but only team members could decipher it. I think it's generally accepted that the chat is fine for that purpose. At least, I've never seen any complaints concerning its use.

The original rules mention it, but it's optional and does mention no communication with the enemy due to the difficulty of reading each other's signals (but that's also optional).

Can't wait to see all the enhancements!
