In some ways, it's good to be back. But one of the problems I had was that I felt like the tech was using me rather than I using the tech, and it was making me feel a bit down in the dumps. The last few months I've not been too down (threat of nuclear war notwithstanding...) and I intend, hopefully, to take it easier the next time I do eventually get internet access at home.

After a slight meltdown, I realise I can do some supplements. However:

1) I can't do it the old-style way of via PDF document. It'll have to be a series of posts on the forum.

2) The ships will, of course, have to be done via Drake notation, which:
2a) because some of the equipment/munition items, if there are multiple rows, don't show up in the Drake notation, I'm going to have to be careful when entering information to make sure it all stays there, or design ships with less than a certain number of munitions (marines, for example)

3) I'll have to enter the weapon list into the Drydock each time I go on the computer. For some settings, not so bad. My current one, where there are three different dual-mode ortillery batteries...yeah, it might be a while.

4) Luckily, I can get extra time if needed, and in stark contrast to a few years ago, that time is free (so no paying £4 for 90 minutes).

Basically, I can release supplements, but they won't be in the classic murtalianconfederacy scheme where there's discussion, then ships, all formatted. They'll be in the form of forum posts--at least until I get things sorted out and then do a version neatly packaged with a neat bow round it.
