Hey all! First of i must say, I love Arkadia so far But, wouldnt it be much better if the map was totally blank in the beginning? And as you explore the new planet the map expands? It would add a great lot of mystery to it. /Simon
It's quite mysterious already.. trying to find all TPs. Some are quite sneaky and hiding inbetween a lot of trees and such
Sounds good. And as for discoveries, read the back story. Arkadian colonists are "wave 2" so some stuff already there. Sure there will be more to discover as time goes on and areas will evolve/be developed. Hopefully in time the map will stop resembling some I drew too Wistrel
It doesn't make sense to have a completely blank map since we have ships and satellites that could take high-quality pictures of all the plane tho
...at yet none of those spacecraft, ships, or satellites can give of resource distribution, mob locations, or tp locations... odd. ;p ....All we have is a map with oddly shaped colors printed on it... damn these standard colonial devices!
exploration is very important but topographical maps are in use for unexplored areas today think of the amazon, arial survey maps are definately required could you imagine exploring somwhere and not taking the forethough to take a picture from above prior. it would get mighty embarasing to cross 579237842903452390 miles of land and come across a natural barrier you cant physically get past >< or crossing the mountains without any idea as to whats up there hell im sure even the first explorers sent out scouts ;P
Perhaps a topographical map that can be zoomed in further that requires us to explore to uncover that zoomed in part? A more detailed topographical map?
Id like to see a "Fog of war" type map to start as well.. sorta like unwrapping a christmas present. This simply falls under the same catagory as the "Unknown" claims do. I am reasonably sure after 4.5 years mining that my ava can recognise Lyst and Azz which seem to be the only unknown claims I get. that should be reserved for unfound materials only and removed from list soon as you do find it. These are in the nice to have but not really that important catagory when stacked up against the real issues MA cant seem to get a bead on.
