Often times, you would see an XP system. This is where each ship (or fleet, if such units are a thing in the book keeping) accrues a variable amount of points from battles. These points would eventually provide certain officers <i>et. al.</i> at certain levels. Often this is a book keeping headache, but bearable in comparison of the other book keeping chores such a campaign often uses.</p> <p><br clear="none"> </p> <p>Dramatic SFB is intentionally "book keeping light". More in line with that effort, crew quality would be an option to purchase for ships. Each would effectively be another refit on top of what is available. So you would have a Fed CA, CAR, CAR+, CA w/ good crew, CA w/ navigator, CA w/ navigator and good crew, CAR w/ good crew, CAR w/ captain, CAR+ w/.... <i>ad nausium</i>.</p> <p><br clear="none"> </p> <p>Early in the development of the software, it was envisioned that scenario rewards would include things like gifting certain things to "the largest ship" or "the smallest ship" in the scenario. Such as giving a ship a certain partial-X-refit or a legendary officer of a certain type. As things matured, it was decided that such options would have to be enshrined in the database in order to carry-over from turn to turn and to balance BPVs properly.</p> <p><br clear="none"> </p> <p>As you can see from above, it would take the current database of over 6,800 units and give each ship something like 10 more variants. Beyond what such an effort would do from a data-entry perspective or how the server will winnow through those, you can look at your build orders drop-down and envision 10 entries for every single current entry that you see. Then try to pick out the *one* entry that you want to build of those available.</p> <div class="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yiv7978306619yqt9420256853" id="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yiv7978306619yqtfd89109"><p><br clear="none"> </p> <p>--Matt<br clear="none"> </p> </div></div></div><div class="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yiv7978306619yqt9420256853" id="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yiv7978306619yqtfd92689">____________________________________________________<br clear="none">Dramatic SFB campaign chatter list<br clear="none"><a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="mailto:SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank">SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"></div></div></div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yqt9587924376" id="m_3876841522634388503gmail-m_3745040675081817295gmail-m_2254233307982684269yqt12709">____________________________________________________<br clear="none">Dramatic SFB campaign chatter list<br clear="none"><a href="http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org" shape="rect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://sfbdrama.mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="mailto:SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org" shape="rect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">SFBdrama@lists.mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"><a href="http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org" shape="rect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://lists.mattnet.org/listinfo.cgi/sfbdrama-mattnet.org</a><br clear="none"></div></div> </div> </div></blockquote></div>
