Hi there. I recently purchased Interceptor. I really appreciate the work that has gone into the game, and I figured I'd just write here to say so. I was wondering, though. I found the game fun. I wonder, though. Is it possible, when you update the game, to grant us the awesome opportunity to fly different kinds of ships? I ask this, because it seems like ship are put forth as objects of a general ship class. If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to have the player ship simply be a different object of that class, which would require almost nothing in terms of a rewrite. For example, wouldn't it be fun to be able to choose your ship type from the list of ships you'd destroyed, just for additional fun and replay? It'd be a simple update, too, if it's written as I imagine. Also, the Guidedog games thing is a great way of discouraging pirates, but it's also discouraging me. My internet sometimes blinks out, and then I have to log in again. Also, it didn't sync my settings across devices. It would make since to have such rigorous security on a game with micro transactions, but this game is a buy once and play. I don't mean that people should just be able to go forth and do whatever. I'm looking at two scenarios. First, the client seems to disallow simultaneous play on multiple computers, at least without a little extra trouble. In a legal, moral world, that isn't generally a problem. However, might it also be possible to generate some kind of token on a machine that says it's ok for it to play the game, even wthout internet? Then, when you're ready to play it somewhere else, you connect that first computer up and release the token. That way, people like me on laptops and such can enjoy the game, even if internet is wonky or unavailable, such as in a car. Frankly, I have access to three computers, and I'd love to have a game going on each, just for comparison's sake, and the token idea would kill that as a possibility, but it's better than a window popping up every few seconds because my internet blinked.
Also, I've gotten back into Traders of Known Space. I wonder something. How hard would it be to turn that game into local multiplayer? I don't mean involving yourself with network scripting, though that would be a fun, if ambitious idea. I mean, what if you could have more than one career going at a time? It'd become a sort of economy board game, pitting player against player in a race to make money and outwit their opponents. Anyway, this email has sort of devolved. It really is mostly meant as a congratulations for making more space games. I rather like what's been done so far and am looking forward to future VGA titles in this timeline.
