Next AI War Expansion?

[SNAFU]

Not to be "that guy" because I understand that most of your attention is probably focused on AVWW right now, but... I'm gonna go ahead and be that guy! 

Are we still looking at having a new expansion for the 2nd quarter of this year, or is that off the table? What sort of scope is planned for it? Is it going to be a CoN-like micro-expansion, or more of a LotS-like paradigm shift? Any major changes planned that could use some airing out or brainstorming sessions within the community? Can I presume the recent pre-releases are getting things tidied up in preparation for new groundwork to be laid i.e. possibly a new starship line? Will keith start dry heaving and speaking in tongues when he sees this thread?

Inquiring minds wish to know!

It's still our next project after AVWW 1.0, though there will be ongoing AVWW work going on too during that time.

I have started in on some interesting (to me) ideas, but still way to early to tell folks about because not sure if they're going to actually make it, and I don't want to get folks hopes up too high

I would really like to see a random difficulty button someday soon though, regardless of new expansions I've been dying to see that in AI war. We got Random AI types, so why not random difs?

Because the range between 1 and 10 is bigger than the range between any two AI Types

When it comes to random map gen, I'd prefer these related mantis suggestions.

I would look forward to super towers with modules.. but thats my defensive nature talking

There were talks about things like environment effects.. and weather? at some point.

[Shrugging Khan]

I'd like to see another modular Starship, this time with a melee attack for its basic mode of operation. And a deployable artillery starship.
Weather and Environmental effects sound damned cool, too, though

Careful, there. The AI type settings allow for many different selections of randomness, so it's not quite fair to compare their settings to a random pick between diffs 1 and 10

It's a tiny tiny thing, but incredibly annoying to me all out of proportion to its impact.  I want the blasted generator to remember the color I set for myself in the new map/game screen.  Please?

Have you tried changing the color of your profile, from the main menu?

There's a profile?  Well slumbit, there is one!  I.. I...  I seem to be having foot in mouth disease lately. 

Heheh, thank you!

AI: "... I got beat on 10/10 by someone who didn't know they had a profile.  I will never live this down.  And that's a long time."
