I've printed out all the objects into a text file but its hard to make sense of it. Still no luck finding the "ID" of a unit type to use. Also one more question: the Ministry record has something called "/api/launchLAMs", which I guess is referring to launching jumpmissiles from citadels? I'm wonder...

Additionally, I have created an (incomplete) Python package for interacting with the Anacreon API. Perhaps someone can find it useful. First off, this is absolutely amazing. Thank you. I've created this thread for players to discuss usage of the Anacreon API with respect to writing scripts/bots to ...

T&E capitals get jumpbeacons now, per this pull request: https://github.com/kronosaur/Anacreon-C ... 54f1508e73

Also from Ministry: http://ministry.kronosaur.com/record.hexm?id=75554

I think the use of icons in the production tab could be removed entirely. IMO it would be a bit distracting when you're trying to figure out which of those supply worlds has a shortfall of hex or whatever, haven't noticed it now since they were only grey boxes. I agree with keeping them in the empir...

Had a peek at the GitHub repo: looks like George added some images that DON'T look like placeholders... looking good! From left to right: GDMs, HEL cannons, autocannons, hypersonics, plasma towers, armored sats, battlestations Vanguard (?), Reliant, Stinger, Adamant, Warphant, Eldritch, Undine, Heli...

Just read over it, seems like a step in the right direction. So invading ANY world controlled by another player will result in a "siege", but invading independent ones won't, correct? This will go a long way towards preventing the so well-known "blitz" attacks that can topple even the largest empire...

Welcome, wpzoka! I assume you're a new player? If so, there are some excellent guides here for the aspiring galactic emperor/empress. Era 4 also hasn't officially "begun", the Alpha game which is online now is to test out any new mechanics/balance changes before they're officially implemented. There...

Made a quick survey here to confirm if users wanted an increase to starship speeds, and if so, by how much. Were there other stat changes to units that were being suggested? We can make a poll for each of them also, easy to see what the majority of other users think as they can quickly click a butto...

Created a poll for players to vote on increasing starship speed (or not)

I think most regulars agreed in page 2 of this thread that starships should have lightly increased speeds to 1 LY/min. That should also "solve" the bug of very slow fleets (i.e. starships at 0.1 LY/min) being able to be attacked without retaliation if they are a few watches away from arriving at a w...

Should we push the suggested unit stats changes to the Core Library?

There are few players on the Alpha test, AdmiralZo is a bit north of my position (New Aelion) and some other unknown player with a pretty well-established cluster to the east (Thuhomur Wuchaiju).

It's fine IMO. Speaking from experience when I was the "newbie", I didn't know what any of the buttons did, just clicked randomly and found out. A tutorial of sorts would really help more than an "advanced start" in that regard. In fact, giving 2-3 colonies straight off the bat might make things eve...

Ah yes, the Imperium's signature strategy used to crush its enemies many times over. Definitely an exploit. This will be fixed, as opportunity fire will update the "best" target for each wing once every few ticks - i.e. whichever enemy wing is closest. I think that issue had an Era 4 tag on Ministry...

These are all great ideas. * Introduce a new structure for defenders. E.g., a structure called "fortification" or something, which gives a bonus to defending ground troops (or something). A good change, or alternatively an easier solution is to make different ground unit types: a low cost "defense l...
