Spacewar: Blockade formation #521

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The original game had special formation for blockade.

I'm not sure how the complete formation looks like (i.e., how many slots).

This could be one of the formations from a regular battle, just mirrored.

in the original game, until you ascend to comander, you can´t decide the 
formation

Only the commander, admiral and great admiral have
the option to decided between different formation to the fleet.

In the v0.95.005 all grades have this option, don´t have?

in the original also have two modes of formation:

-single mode- fighter one by one, or in groups with the minimun number of 
fighter posible

-group mode- all type of fighter in a group: for example: you have 12 mk.I, 
20mk.II, 20mk.V and 5 mk.VI... then, appear in the screen of battlespace 4 
groups of fighter: one with 12 mk.I, other 20mk.II, other 20mk.V and other 
group 5 mk.VI.

about the image of blockade situations... are all the same, the diferent is the 
number and type of ship... all cames from the same initial formation:

first the flag ships in line (there no had FS), then the destroyer/cruiser in a 
line in front of FS, and finally the fighter in a piramidal formation
