[Suggestion] Graphic representation for an Embassy

November 24, 2009 9:31:18 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I was curious if there could be some graphic representation for a homeworld that has an embassy established. It doesn't matter if its a 2D icon or a 3D model of the embassy (though a 3D model would look more pretty!), but just having it as a little text blurb seems a bit weak for a game that boasts pretty visuals.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe something similar to the crown outline that appears around home planets so you can easily identify which planets have your embassies with just a glance

A good idea, I would like that as well, but I'm greedy - I would like a visual 3D model on the planet and the icon on a zoomed out planet!

I agree 100%. Was gonna start a post until I saw this. Wouldn't be bad to make it a small in-game unit as well. This way on big-sized maps/games if your curious as to what nations you have embassies on you can just use the search panel to find them all.

No no no! Embassys should be an orbital structure. Fancy Pancy and invunuble. Although I do see problems with it getting in the way of structures, but it'd still be better then just text or a building on the planet.

a 3D skeletal model would be even better

So there is no actual Embassy? I was trying to have the tec envoy"deploy" an embassy since it looks like a starship constructor,  but that's not the case?

    So after the other side develops the tech to target envoy ships, you have a unarmed sitting duck in the enemy's homeworld grav well ? How long is that going to last? I havent really seen anything that is going to make me turn off locked teams.( I know it's not done). I really wish they would have made some cool new attack ships, and a few more techs and orbital structures and that would have been enough for my ten bucks.
