Forthcoming Updates discussion

[Captain Jack]

Ahoy everyone,

If you are not aware already, August is our vacation time. We rarely take any days off the rest of the year. During August, no development takes place. Only fixes and administration.

Tomorrow is the biggest national holiday for us so reasonably, today is a day off for all. Still, during our vacation we take time to plan the next day. I know a lot of you are very interested in this schedule.

The main idea is the following:
1.9: Nation Diplomacy
2.0: Plantations

Some fixes and small features will be implemented during 1.9
We can prioritize them and we would like your input on this so feel free to post here anything that you believe it needs to be prioritized. The best way would be to link to an existing suggestion topic. If such a topic does not exist, it would help to forward your idea by creating it and then linking it.

When we develop new things for the game, we use the forums as an index. That's our official "memo". It works better this way.

As for the time these features will come, it will depend on how difficult they will be. The good news is that we have done good pre work and few details remain. The bad news is that we may need to change a few things eventually (for plantations mostly, to ensure that King role is more illustrious than the Governors one).

Cheers

Banking updates? What I mean is there are a number of suggested updates for banking but they don't seem to be going anywhere.

How far out would you guess plantations are, barring no delays or snags?

Which holiday is that? Ship log.

CJ, a Ships History is something that would be very fun to have. It was approved by you awhile back. Perhaps this could be a small update.

Of Course Flagship is a feature that a lot of players are eager to see and play with.

Enjoy your time off CJ.
Hoping ver.1.9 will have some mechanism for those who owe money to a nation, have a way to actually make good their debts if they choose to. A direct deposit to the national treasury ?
It's a bit of a black hole if you fall into it with no way to pay off any taxes and interest charges to a nation.

+1
Seems the Captain's Log would be the appropriate place to locate this new feature.

+1 To Flagships addition as well.
