Radio Messages Guide (intel gathering and decryption) | Highfleet 

That is a really good idea, using old messages to crack new ones. It's really fun to decrypt stuff like this, because it rewards the player the more effort he puts into it.

Thanks! I feel highfleet is a very unique game. Very high quality indie game.

This is great advice, boxing in the possibilities and then reducing the complexity of the encyption.

Thanks! You mean the direction of where it is coming from?

Thanks. I really like the different systems in the game and how it is up to the player on how to use them.

Oh, you really brought me back, those 688 games were so intense!

There is something ecstatic about decrypting when you get a lead on some words because some letters start to match.

@@caracal3892 They could probably release a mobile game that is just the decryption.

Yes, I think the encryption may be slightly too easy to break without recovering any key fragments. If you know some good words to look for and smartly use some context clues (like known names of ships) you can usually solve it pretty quick. I still really like the system a lot though. It's just hard enough to feel accomplished about breaking the code. I think a good way to implement a harder variant of the cypher would be that the enemy starts using a more difficult system later in the game progression - and if you choose hard mode then this happens sooner. Pyotr could make an appropriate comment about it when it happens. I don't think it should be too complex though - otherwise it becomes too inaccessible and ends up taking you out of the game for too long. I really really hope this game gets an expansion at some point. There is so much potential here.

I think I remember reading no whitespace was applied in real encryption methods as well. Fun fact, the cipher used in game is called the Caesar Cipher, invented by Julius Caesar, and keeps with the game's Roman theme

Pretty sure that was one limitation of the Enigma, as in it didn't encrypt whitespaces.

From what I've seen so far, as long as you tune the message yourself, there will almost always be 2 to 3 words missing regardless of how long you take or how well you do. however there is an auto tune button that you can use that will automatically give you the message, but it will be missing around 50% if not more of that message. Also, just to be sure, since this info was slightly incorrect, receiver of message is first, but it is actually always a city.

@@DoubleJJizzle Thanks for the correction! :)

@@TheStigma not a problem my dude, I don't know all the callsigns for cities but it it can be learned lol. weirdly enough I've actually never played this game XD
