Merker -> Supernova picture (7/19/2011 4:15:19 PM)

Yo, anyone ever seen this kind of supernova graphic before in DW vanilla or ROTS? I've seen this picture in the first game after patching to 1.0.7, no mods installed:

Usually I get the contours only, not the explodey center

Cheers

Yap, I've seen it in every game in every version I can remember....pretty sure about it also, I always like watching it



Baleur -> RE: Supernova picture (7/20/2011 12:25:35 AM)

Oh god how i wish the galaxy in Distant Worlds was dynamic. With blue & red supergiants eventually having a low chance of going nova, adding some dark clouds to the galaxy map.
As Data's signature states, igniting stellar cores..



Niaru -> RE: Supernova picture (7/20/2011 12:33:13 AM)

Interesting. I never see the star in the middle. Odd.

You'd have to play a LOOOOONNNNNNGGGG game for it to happen. A few hundred million years might do it for you to see one, at realistic chances.



Data -> RE: Supernova picture (7/20/2011 7:36:29 AM)

hell yeah, Baleur, the universe is magnific and DW comes close to getting that feeling across.

But colonizing an entire galaxy in a few hundred years is realistic? :p

Yeah, but with my luck, the star that goes supernova would be my home planet... [:D]
But yes, I agree.



Igard -> RE: Supernova picture (7/20/2011 10:36:50 PM)

The average for a supernova explosion in our galaxy is 1 every 50 years, so it's entirely possible to have supernovas and novas as random events in the game.

Of course, it's less likely that 1 of the 1400 stars in the game's galaxy will go nova. Compared to our galaxy which is estimated to have as many as 400 billion stars.



Tigan -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 10:37:46 AM)

Tjhkkr. Itīs not that unlikely to loose your homesystem by a supernova. This crap happened to me in "birth of the federation". I was playing as klingon and my only system went supernoca in turn 3 [:D].

But itīs a great idea. A changing universe would make the game much more intresting. Supernovas, planets changing their orbit, asteroid impacts, eco-catasterophis, pleagues....planetary earthquakes destroying your invrastructure......lucky as I am every negative event will trigger right after I press the start button [:D]



Data -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 10:41:11 AM)

Anyone remember the klingon moon splitting? [:)]



tjhkkr -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 3:41:02 PM)

Are you talking about Praxis?



Data -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 4:02:49 PM)

Hell yeahh, thank you TJ....always a pleasure to see good memory from someone else. I lost faith in mine long ago [:)]



tjhkkr -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 9:54:35 PM)

Well we got the name... but um umm ummm Data you may need a memory check, because Praxis did not crack -- it sort of blew up... [sm=00000280.gif]



Data -> RE: Supernova picture (7/21/2011 10:13:04 PM)

Fortunatelly, that's not a memory problem but a non-english speaker expressing himself problem [:)]
Or that's my excuse, at least.



tjhkkr -> RE: Supernova picture (7/22/2011 12:52:12 AM)

Then I should shut up and forget about it -- my apologies... [8D]

Oh, and your English is better than mine is... so do not worry about it... [:)][8D][;)]
