| OK i have some ideas i have been writing down while i play the game.
| Here they are:
|
| - An option to have the alt button always pushed. so that health bars, targeting
| orders, and range indicators are always present.
|
| - The black market and pirate bidder be separate buttons on the top of the screen.
|
| - The pirate bidder screen can be minimized to only show a small portion of the
| screen so that you can control your empire while keeping an eye/bidding on pirates.
|
| - Have a little pirate target indicator on the main hud, showing who is the current
| target and what the price is
|
| - When you select multiple colonies and set ship build orders, the factories should
| split the build order between them. Ex, i have two planets, with one factory each,
| selected and i build 4 ships, each factory will build 2 ships.
|
| - This is just my opinion, but im not really feeling any of the symbols. They all
| are really generic. Like, triangles with circles inside them, or circles with
| triangles inside them.
|
| - An exp bar for the capital ships.
|
| - A customizable AI attack order hierarchy; which can be custom per ship/fleet. This
| will allow me to customize what the AI makes my ships attack. For Example, I want
| all my flak frigates to attack only bombers, then fighters, then frigates, ... ,
| lastly base defense. Or make my light frigates attack other light frigates before the
| capital ships. Also a setting for my ships to either, attack lowest hp or shields,
| attack highest hp or shields, or spread damage equally or randomly.
|
| - A filter for multi-player to filter out games with passwords and AI players.
|
| - It would be nice if i could double click a planet and it will very quickly zoom into
| the gravity well, or a star and it will zoom to the solar system.
|
| Those are some of my suggestions that might be possible for this patch. Now for some
| bugs i have noticed:
|
| - On the map blindside, when ever pirates raided me, even with tonnes of bounty, they
| would go for my dead asteroid which adjacent to the pirate haven. It had nothing
| built around it. I noticed that the pirates would go in kill my constructor and
| then leave. They were not even there for enough time to destroy the colony. So i
| was essentially pirate immune. This is a very exploitable bug.
|
| - From time to time when i leave(it may only happen when i lag out)a multi-player
| game. The drag selector box will be in the background of the multi-player menu. It
| goes away when i go into another game and i click and drag a new selector box.
|
| Thank you Ironclad and Stardock for this excellent game.

Turrets turning to track targets rather than being static.
edit: i mean on capital ships.

Oh, another. Option to have the ships do strafing runs or orbits on each other. It looks so boring having 10 frigates just stand there shooting each other. Startrek Armada had that option as a hidden setting you could turn on. It looked really cool to see the different ships circle targets while zapping them and smaller ships doing strafing runs on the bigger ships.

1) Fix the construction bar color for TEC

2) Put the Pause/Unpause Text in the center of the screen, make it larger and red!

Wow, there's a lot of text here. I didn't read it all, so these may be mentioned already.

I think the most important things are Surrendering AI and certain key interface improvements.

1) Manually add ship to fleet.
2) Manually change fleet leader.
3) View Rally Points when zoomed out.

These all seem like really easy fixes that would improve life tremendously)

that would be so cool.

P.S. i love watching the TEC nukes hit the planets

A fix for the issue where the game doesn't actually shut down. Ever.

And yes, some sort of improvement to the PJIs. I thought that they DID cover the entire grav-well. They don't?! The hell am I building them for?

"Block jumping deeper into territory" as an improvement doesn't actually work on maps where "deeper" leads to a plasma storm or gas giant where you -can't- build, right? So perhaps instead it should be a "chance of jump failure" per ship or something?

Auto fleet improvements. Currently the system is flawed, not perfectly functional, unintuitive, something. I've got it set up where my fleet's lead ship is the rally point for newly constructed ships, and that seems to work most of the time, but not all of the time.

Add some higher end defenses. Something that can actually hold off an enemy long enough for your fleet to come save the planet. Right now a planet dies way too fast to a good sized fleet. Also, increase the range on turrets. Too easy to bypass them entirely.

And of course, I highly suppor making PJJ better. Another thought, is to make ships jump more slowly in enemy culture, maybe warp slower too, so you can't run around someones empire so easily.

Oh, and the Marauder, for the Vasari? Its phase point ability doesn't seem to work right half the time. I use it to create a phase point then jump my fleet but it only works about half the time for whatever reason. And some of the information in ability descriptions is a bit off. For instance the Vasari cap with the ability to decrease its weapons cooldown, it actually says increase. I think its supposed to be damage it increases.

allow the user to "initiate" diplomacy instead of always having to "react" to AI diplomacy.

PJI something to tweak them.

tweak the explosions, make them look better. make ships "break apart". you prob cant do this with a patch but thought i'd throw it out there.....

tweak pirate attack options. so it's not just "PIRATES/NO PIRATES". a slider for pirate agressiveness, or attack frequency.

MOONS! jk. lol.

Skimmed topic, hopefully no one else has posted this stuff...

1.) Share artifact effects among allies.
2.) Implement an automated tribute system, so that economist players can more effectively provide funds for war-waging allies.
3.) Give us an option to disable the rendering of planet sprites when zoomed in; that is, if the game is rendering the full model of one planet, make it render the models of the rest, for a more realistic view of distant worlds (even if those worlds would appear too small to see, or would be mere points of light).
4.) This one is a bit iffy, but... what about an espionage research option for each faction, that would give a percent chance to intercept private messages or ally chat? It would probably require a cultural influence, or a scout ship, or a even a new listening post structure, but it would certainly make FFA matches even more interesting.

i know. i was joking because of all the threads wanting moons and all the discussions about it.

1.03 wishlist:

1. Finally make "Kade Shaderow" understand that he is not the only one playing the game, and not the only one entitled to opinion.

2. Beef the defenses up a bit. Please.

The musts:

-A way to choose a start position please
-DONT FLEE
-Teamlocked AI should work better together
-Static defences are ok but in late game there shoud be a high cost tech or structure to be able to fence of or delay larger fleets. Dont throw the turtle shit at me as I said it should be high cost.
-Lol all these frigs late game did you expect us to do that as well. Kodiacs eat frigates and so he flees again!
-Doesnt the AI grasp the concept of using their tactical slots? I hardly see defense build. I only play hard AI
-More fleet cap research please, make the purchase cost of the tech high but keep an eye on the already rediculous high ammount of upkeep.
-toggle for the novalith cannon in play. AI hardly uses it humans abuse it to knock an AI out with ease. Its a lame weapon in every aspect.

The wishes:
-Make exploring more fun so you can find some more alien stuff to beef your caps up
-Starbase defence structure which you can upgrade with all kind of defences and fighter bomber squads. Like I said earlier if you want/need to turtle and accept the cost there should also be a bennefit in having a thriving econmy able to sustain the cost. Your fleet should be able to venture off with a relative ease of mind about the security of your planet. It shouldnt be godlike but way better then what you got now. Most people like to turtle so why not give it? In many ways a turtler with a plan is the most feared opponent.

Thanks for granting us a chanse to make our whises and suggestions possible and I hope you will take them into consideration.
