With a Little Help from our Friends

How can I get more badges?

j'aimerais avoir plus de précision sur le combat spatial, je m'explique :

ont équipe nos vaisseaux mais comment ? , que des arme directement à la coque (missile & projectiles diverse) si en face l'énnemi a des bouclier est ce que les missiles doivent d'abord faire tomber les bouclier, pour ensuite faire des dommages à la coque ? ou alors est-ce des dommages direct à la coque ?

maintenant l'inverse, que des arme à énergie, après avoir fait tomber les bouclier, font t'ils des dommages à la coque, si c'est le cas de combien ? vue qu'à la base c'est pas spécifié quelle sont les dégâts que l'arme peu faire, aussi sont t'il plus efficace ? dommage sur la coque doublé triplé voir plus ?

bref voila, car pour moi, avec l'expérience que j'ai des jeux de combat spacial, une arme à énergie après avoir abaissé les bouclier les dégat sur la coque sont plus important ! voir carrément plus !!!! pour les missiles :

Normalement un missile s'en fou complétement et endommage directement la coque !

mais bien sûr, certain bouclier peuvent avoir la capacité de bloqué les projectiles et dans ce cas la résistance du bouclier et endomagé par l'explosion d'un missile, pareil pour tous autre projectiles non énergétique !

voila j'espère que ma où mes questions sont pas trop confu dans le doute :

vso nous appartenant = 450 de coque et 200 de bouclier

énemi = arme d'attaque missile faisant 75 de dégâts à la coque.

notre vso reçois t'il directement les dégat à la coque ( vso nous appartenant après la salve de missile = 375 de coque et 200 de bouclier ou 430 de coque restant et 125 de bouclier restant ? j'extrapole en me disant que les bouclier ont fait explosé la salve de missile à l'impact et absorbant une partie des dommages total du missile, mais due à la dispersion lié à l'explosion, un résidu de dégât à endommagé la coque).

bien à vous

The Devs asking questions on-topic & not is just so that the section is not empty on launch and can give players Ideas on what to write (stuff that can be answered by the community, not the devs)

Some data from XML can be converted to a wiki-like thing but would need a lot of work to do for each different File and things like trade income depends on so much across different files that the idea falls apart into unfeasibility.

But you have the XML files so if you personally want to write something that does that, I would support you in that.

The ITER thread is on hold at the mommet as something culled the data on the forums and A HDD failure culled the data on my end, it takes a huge amount of time to prep the data for it and I'm quite busy unfortunately so have not had a chance to rebuild it.

The tutorials and help sections are meant to give the community tools to help each other, not to replace the expansive collection of detailed information you would expect of a wiki. The help section in particular could cover a wide range of questions – from lore to gameplay, and from general to specific – to which the answers of experienced players may be more valuable than a factual breakdown of game mechanics and data or a flavor text quote from the game. We also expect to see questions like “Will there be an Endless Day next year?” or “When will you have another faction creation contest?” that relate to Amplitude and the community, and would not suit a game-specific wiki. If people tag their questions properly and use the voting features, the Help should be easier to search for relevant questions and answers than the forums.

We know that many players would like an easily accessible source of detailed information about the game, and we agree that it would be useful. For that reason, we would like to put all the important information on the wikia eventually, but we can invest only so much time each day into that. Help from the community would speed up progress tremendously. We will make sure to redirect people to the community wikia as it grows.

As far as the questions by devs and VIPs are concerned: As Cyrob points out, we did not want to launch an empty help section, so seeded it with some basics. Some of those questions just happen to refer to jokes made in the community.

Most of the answers to the more deeper questions such as 'trading mechanics optimization' are like "no one really knows, but we do this, and it helps" :-D

Let make more great animation.

Can we expect Tutorials & Help sections for other games as well?

I mean, really, lets get overarching with these things

We could use some tutorials for.....

• Fleet layouts: best ship layouts and combinations for both general and specific purposes (aknowleging there may be no "best" setup)
• High level strategy: How to win as X, by way of Y for every possible race and victory condition possible.
  • Counter Strategy: How to counter an X trying to do Y as an A trying to do B
• MinMax SystemLayouts: This type of planet, with this specialization, with this population composition, under this government with this law = the most FIDS or just the most of a specific thing.
• MinMax Hero Assignment: This race with this hero as governor and this other hero leading a fleet with this setup.
• Galaxy layout exploitation (guard this, leave this vulnerable on purpose, If you see this put some privateers out there, etc.)

redsimonDE, we have the Endless Space 2 community wikia, which I'll be trying to promote more as a way to collect important information, and hopefully recreate much of Cyrob's ITER thread there.

Happyhead, I agree that information like that would be useful for many players. Those are the types of questions we expect to see in the Help section, as the tutorials are meant to be more about "How to play the game" than about "How to do well."
