So, what does high and low mean?  Does it mean priority in recieving data, the speed at which data is sent/recieved, or what?

Nice, will it always be able to go through things?

lol, there will be collision detection.  Flying units, of course, will always go "through"--or rather, over--things.  Collision detection is my first item on the list after next week

GENERATOR

Cost: 50, plus 20 for every 10 additional HP
HP: 30

The Generator is used to power adjucent buildings.  The only Ptaloid buildings that don't require generators are defense buildings, "Operation Centers," and refineries.

GALBONIAN

Role: Anti-Air, Gunship, Anti-Operation Center
Cost: 25 Belthium Crystals Each (Can Be Swarmed)
Health Points: 25 Per Galbonian
Damage Per Second: 1 per second per Galbonian
Weapon Range: 3
Speed: 25
Fuel Capacity: N/A
Sephrane Gas Capacity: N/A
Rate of Overheat: N/A

Galbonians are not "bees," although they used to be.  Ptaloids who visited Earth and tasted honey found they had an inner craving for it, and so crates of bees were sent to the planet Coranas.  The Ptaloids attempted to create an environment that the honey bees could live in.  In addition, they found that they could tame bees and keep them as domestic pets.

Unfortunately, war affects everything, and the bees' environment on Coranas was destroyed.  Like many creatures, they had to adapt, and did so by living off of the Ptaloids and their world.  By the time the situation was under control 60 years later, the bees had adapted to become gigantic killers with the rage of hornets.  They are now kept in transport vessels, released only when needed in war, after which their temper matches that of a wounded Hydralisk.  These "Galbonians" have wreaked havock on several Tosonian bases, proving to be valuable for anti-air, such as with Tosonian Buildings.

Plasma Torpedoes: Classified (Used to attack Operation Centers.  Galbonians can have 10 plasma torpedoes TOTAL, no matter whether you are attacking with 1 or 15 Galbonians)

In some movies, such as Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the shields absorb MOST of the damage, but the ship still recieves damage occuring from shake-ups and occasional weapon energy that the shields didn't catch.  Of course, when shields dropped entirely, the ship recieved full damage.

However, most games require shields to be fully down before damage is recieved.  I will admit that this doesn't apply to a lot of Star Trek games, which use the above method.

Sorry, I didn't have time for the update today.  I left in the afternoon for something I thought would take a couple hours, but I didn't get back until almost midnight.  But I should have it tomorrow for sure.

I had a similar story this week.  No worries!

That sounds really neat Do you already have the sprites made or just ideas?

Just ideas, with some pictures.  Once the engine is done, the sprites and the code aren't going to be hard to do. (I've been working hard to make the engine flexible.) However, trying to come up with unique races--rather than different looking races with similar statistics--is taking me a while, which is why I'm not waiting to work on them.
