Topic: Where did development points go

Hi,

New to Starmada, but I have both the Comendium and "X." I noticed in "X," the development point system for races was gone.

I'm assuming it's because now the weapon's system has radicaly changed. Does anyone see any problems with using the multipliers for a weapon system (as compared to acutaly space) as a cost for DP?

The DPs in the Compendium are (obviously) based off of the Weapon Point (WP) value -- this translates to the following in X:

ROF x PEN x DMG x Special Mods

For example, a 3/1/1 weapon that ignores shields (x2.5) would cost a total of 5.5 DPs.

The DP costs of special equipment should remain the same.
