I am mostly over with the listing of all database contents. While the “real thing” is a 20-page document, I am going to post it on this blog as a series of posts. Some of the data listed here will not be used in Milestone 2, but will be useful for M3 and beyond – the descriptions for these items are in italic.
Here is a list of the various parts that will be posted. I will update this list by adding links to the relevant posts when they are published.
- Game definitions – data that is required to make the game work, but is never changed.
- Application data – data used to store the current state of the game server.
- Users – accounts and account management data.
- Administration – administrative accounts and related information.
- Naming – data regarding empire, alliance and map object names.
- Universe – the universe’s map and the planets’ states.
- Empires & alliances.
- Ship designs, ships and fleets.
- Battles – everything that has to do with storing battle reports.
- Communications – internal messages as well as player communications.
- Bug tracking system.
