Introducing the Time Machine

Friday, February 04, 2011
A new feature has been released today which lets you "go back in time" to look at your previous turns.  You can use this by clicking on the Time Machine link on your main dashboard.  We only started tracking historical data yesterday however.  So unfortunately you will not be able to go back very far at the moment. We will be storing historical data from now on however.  

The data that is shown is the last status right before host runs. So you can see all the commands you put in just before the host run executed.  

On another note, we've also introduced a new hosting policy.  If a player resigns with less than 1% military score after turn 30 that position will be considered "dead" and no other players will be able to join that position.

Have fun with the new Time Machine and as always let us know if you find any problems.

Fantastic. There are so many ways it can help. Also, great help when replacing a player.

Sounds good, a little like the old VGA Planets tools like Informer etc.

Great.........thanks.
One other question...Is there a way to save and review messages sent between players from the Diplomacy screen?
Sometimes I forget which planet we mutually agreed to use as a boundary marker
( apparently I need to change to "staff command" and make more notes)

Brilliant addition! Now I can figure out how that Falcon ended up in the middle of nowhere with no fuel.

This is a welcome addition. To make it even more convenient, it would be great to be able to page backwards and forwards through turns directly in the starmap screen (ie without having to go to the dashboard). Echoview used F3 and shift-F3 respectively to do this, but for nu probably a clickable button n the starmap (like the "previous ship" and "next ship") buttons would be better.
