I really need the mind control script and also a 'select a planet with 500k steel' script.

My scripts need a massive rewrite before I would send them out into the wild. I've stopped using them myself because of the slow down issues they appeared to cause for the server every time I did run them.

To be fair, there's quite a few people who've written scripts -- it was a combination of scripts, and sector serving taking up huge amounts of cpu and memory (if you zoomed out, you'd use up 40% of memory on the server).

Using scripts will get a lot easier when I put up the API -- if you don't mind waiting a bit.

If people don't use scripts they're just going to lose to Hierulf. Arms race man.

Anyway I can optimise a script, I just don't want to start from scratch.

I find myself a bit skeptical.

If you're going to psot you might as well say something worthwhile. It takes exactly zero balls to say "I find myself a bit skeptical".

What I was saying was that I don't see any reason to believe Hierulf's plan is to turn around and start a war.

He doesn't need to declare war. He can just take the galaxy with his arc fleets.

It was demoralizing to see him gulp up a swath of space twice the size of my little empire right next to me. Even more annoying was how his massive arc fleet traveled through my territory and made it hard to even find my planets :D

Hint, he is rubbish at defending new territory.
