It's the "Just a quickie" update

Added 2020-06-28 08:15:19 +0000 UTC

Hi guys, sorry for so many posts of late but just a couple of additional quick ones as I'm hitting the script in full next week and tend to go into a bit of zombie writing zone until it's finished (bouncing around inside my character's heads for the dialogue needs a lot of focus at times).

First off, the diagnostic database design is done.

It took a little while as it needs to work for those players who want to deep dive into the power problem and yet also work for those who are fairly casual about that issue and would rather spend their time doing other things. Basically as you trundle around the station doing whatever it is your doing, if you find something out the MC will enter into the diagnostic tool and it will then analyse that and give you a probability rating of the various errors it could be as well as recommending the next course of action.

You don't have to follow it's recommendations of course. Indeed, if you choose you can totally ignore the power plant problem entirely. After all, your MC may have already decided that Ophion Station is a waste of time and wants to recommend it's closed down. That's up to you. I just give you options...

Anyhoo, here it is :)

Getting the coding right for this one might be a bit of a slog but it's one of those issues that just requires being careful on the coding rather than doing anything especially complex to be honest. A small version will sit alongside the PDA on your screen so you can call it as you need/want it. Becca, of course, will explain it more fully in the intro.

Secondly, Chapter Three will see the release of two issues of Bored Pilot, not one. There are two further ones already made for the original version and tbh I'm keen to move on to new content with these and so will refresh both of them, updating the images and content ofc and include both of them with the next release so we can move to new stuff asap and you guys can start choosing who and what goes in it again.

I think that's about it. As I say, expect me to be quiet for the next week or so whilst I write like a fury but in the meantime look after yourselves and we'll speak soon.

Laters, Notty.
