Does anyone know the bonuses for the Templar commander? saw him once in the wilderness of a planet with "syndicate sponsored operation on (name of world). Deadly rogue traders have cleared everything of value." the same as for the Templar officer, but hes listed as Templar command. I didnt pay much attention to him and rejected the offer as I was looking for the templar officer. was in the process of filling up the ranks for my alien bounty hunter captain.
his portrait looks exactly like the templar officer, but instead of being green, he looks somewhat yellow-orangeish.

The in-game help files have been updated already, so you can see his stats (and the Templar Hydra) listed there. They basically give more bonuses useful for boarding, but lose their contract bonus-pay. The Templar Command and Hydra are listed as "rare", but not really sure what % chance that might be. I was able to find a Templar Command on my fourth Templar-rumor planet, so chance might be 1 in 5 or 1 in 10, unless I was exceptionally lucky. I'm guessing the chance of Templar Hydra appearing are even lower since he has better bonuses. It also seems you can't have more than 1 Templar on board regardless of which class he is. Since I've gotten my Command, all the Templar-rumor planets do not show the Officer button even though I have an empty slot. So if you are hunting specifically for a Hydra, don't pick up any of the other two classes. |

Acording to the post no. After 85 years you need to get a new officer for max benifit which is rediculous in my oppinion. Officer should be based on lv when you have them, not when you get them. Also, that other thread said theresca one in four chance of morale increasing to eight from spice hall. This isn't the case now. Cory/fallen, is this still the case? The part about officers needing to be swapped out on a regular basis. |

No, in general terms, keeping the same officer will yield very minimal differences to swapping the officer for a new one of the same class on a regular basis. Okay, there IS a slight difference, but you're talking about less than the width of a cats whisker. For the record, don't tug on cat whiskers...  |

Not sure if this is a new templar or just a new art and text of an old templar ( and i swear that the lack of updated information on the in-game files and here will one day drive my obsessive compulsive self crazy) " The Templar Warrior is a master of void space combat as well as boarding tactics. The Templar Warrior may depart after combats with the alien but it is fearsome in such encounters ."  |

geoklng - new artwork from Templar Battleforce. Google gives us 500 characters to describe change updates. You'd be surprised how short that is

Not 500 words - 500 characters. That's like not a lot of words really. Also, punctuation and the like mean that you lose even more valuable real-estate to pronounce all of the radically cool and great improvements that you have done in the release. It may be a few new ships. It may be some improved balancing. It will certainly include bug-fix support. But there is no room to provide critical cat trivia (like cats have more bones than humans, or that Sir Isaac Newton invented the Cat Flap) The above text is 500 characters in total. 89 words including the little ones that should just be given for free because they don't take up much space. A bit like certain cats |

Aren't tweets 140 characters? I think my math was correct... Yes- I've consoled both a college student and my younglings about 500 characters before... Maybe you weren't talking to me?
Moving from sentences to paragraphs r a real challenge for the young. Likewise a too tired student of any age doesn't want to write an effective summary...

You'd be surprised how short that is Which only reinforces my suggestion of reviving the game manual as a wiki to bypass limitations of constantly updating the in-game files. I would gladly upload that artwork and description inside a wiki project without dragging the developers along my craziness spiral of officer collection. I hope there is a home/base/headquarters in ST RPG 2 , where i can leave my off-duty officers relaxing. Sometimes i want to bring a spy along, sometimes a tradesman. |

It failed super, super hard. It failed so hard, that we cannot afford to try again. The cost was too high. |

Multiple people have been traumatized by the experience of Wiki-failure. I think though we were biting off too much in 1) We wanted the majority of the content to be up in place and polished (at least to a degree) before it was public 2) It was restricted so that content control was in place - we never got to the point where it could be "free" for a broader community to edit 3) The intent was there - the passion was there - but I for one slipped up because work got chaotic and I couldn't do what I thought I could. I'm still bitterly disappointed on this one point alone. Cory Trese ... would you be averse to people within the TB Community starting up a generic Wikia site for TB? (http://trese-brothers-games.wikia.com/wiki/Trese_Brothers_Games_Wikia) 90% fan-populated, done in piece meal as/when people have time to add content. I whacked together a base page as a placeholder - if you are strongly against this I will take it down. I think though that there is enough community interest for people to add content and by making it organic, it may well grow where a planned effort failed. |

Here is a wiki we opened on Gamepedia for Templar Battleforce: templarbattleforce.gamepedia.com/Templar_Battleforce_WikiIf we are going to make another run at wikis, it would be good to at least them on sites that are dedicated to gaming, where we might get more organic exposure. Honestly, I'm still shell-shocked from the last attempt. But, if the community wants to do it, I won't stand in the way. One other point -- reality is, 99% of users want to see the information the game. Our estimates show that far less than 1% of our user base has ever visited this forum. At the root of that, that means Cory Trese and I are going to be solely focused on improving our in-game documentation, and guides in high places (Steam, YouTube, Blog). |
