I did not know that there was a 2D computer game based on Starmada AE being made.

wow. :shock:
And how do you download that?

Doesn't look like there is anything to download yet. Though to be honest, I'm more interested in figuring out how to use Vassal.

Is that the Royal "We", or are the voices in your head getting loud again?

I may take you up on that this weekend.
You know, I'm thinking that it might be good, as a teaching tool, to place a "simulated" battle in the same area as the download of the vassal mod. Since it is possible to do things in a step-by-step manner with running commentary it should be easy for MadSeason or myself (I've played through quite a few games so far) to create an in-Vassal tutorial. The person interested in seeing how everything works could just click through to follow along and see how things work. It might not be as detailed as say a PDF manual, but it would allow the user to tinker with the controls in a hands on fashion. Some things can't be seen by the other side, but if you tell someone what you are doing in the chat area, then tell them to try it, it might work. I might have to think some more on this tonight or this weekend and see if it is really useful to do something like this.
Cheers,
Erik
PS Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll switch to the Vassal thread with any follow up.
Great idea, Erik!

Hello all,
I'm the developer of the computer game you're talking about.
I began to think about doing a computer version as soon as I finished to read the SAE book, one year ago. I liked the rules very much for their simplicity, clarity and modularity.
Presently the game is yet at an early stage of development. It's a hobby and I work on it alone, so I don't think i can release the first version before the end of 2010.
You can follow the development progress on the blog I maintain, there :http://hegemony.fr/wordpress/ . It hasn't been updated for some times, but I'll put very soon some news and some new screenshots.
The software will be divided into three distrinct parts: the game itself, a fleet editor and a map editor.
Within the fleet editor, basically you can build ships, flights and fleets through a GUI, assign an image for each of them and save fleets as XML files. I'll try to release the fleet editor sooner than 2010/12.
I would really appreciate any feedbacks and opinions from this august assembly.
Cheers,
Stéphane SALMONS
