Changed...  thanks for pointing that out

I have my own as well.

I understand the concept of asymetrical design in all things but for weapons on a ship I just gotta have symmetry

Personally I want My capital ships to have symmetrical weapon placements 4 blasters on left and right side that way I can move it between two enemy capital ships and blast at both of them which you can still do without symmetry, and or have it blasting at a bunch of ships that are basically all around.  Either put it as an option or standardization.

Fleet formations that you can choose wedge, wall, things that have an aesthetic and combat purpose to them, so on so on.  Kinda pointless but it would still be nice.  I always wanted to make fleet formations with my fleets like in the intro.  And just take screenshots and make wallpapers with them. 

This is the horrible part that just wont happen at all,  I always wanted to run around with A Akkan and Radiance battleship capital attack group as to how that would happen exactly either buying it from an ally or reverse engineering.

Akkan and radiance are my favorite Aesthetically pleasing ships.

I hate how theres the type of player the ai will be, Researcher expander Defender.  I feel like there needs to be something more to it then just a classic stereotype option, that you or the game assigns to both enemies and allies.  also its a pain when an ally has a artificat planet but refuses to setup tactical slots to defend itself from rebels in which case i have to go in colonize it and set up the defenses then abandond said planet and wait for the ally to recolonize.  I would like a planet trade, so I can gift or buy a planet from an ally or neutral entity and have co-planets. The ping ally is too watered down. I really want the AI to be able to understand what I want them to do.

Lastly I want a Clear Cut Explanation as to If This one ship is supposed to dominate better then this other ship. or if the autocannon fire is more damaging to this or that then the plasma or laser fire and or missiles.  Yes I understand that you can upgrade and get buffs.  But at the pure basic level I really need the clear cut truth about the damages,  Yes I know you can build a fleet of pure combat oriented Kol Battleships or radiance class battleships, however that just doesnt explain anything.  I do like being realistic about my fleets im all about balance and so many lrms for so many cobalts I have in my fleet, for example for every 10 cobalts I have I make 4 LRMS or 5 Kodiaks.  I really do need the clear cut what works, what does more, damage to what and so on.

This is my wishlist

Annoying construction announcements? But I love hearing "behold my creations" for the 1000th time in like 50 seconds whenever my desert production plant is running on full steam.

On a more serious note, if you could decide on the battle chatter level in one of the options menus (disable certain notification types etc) that'd be a help, my friend likes the Advent very much, but doesn't play them very often cause of "that annoying bitch and her Verona Feldbusch voice" (not my words, sorry to the voice actor. I like your voice).

It'd be great if the production infocards showed me the needed money/metal/crystal for 5 ships when I hold down shift to produce them in groups. I can calculate it in my head, but I'm lazy and computers are supposed to make my life easier, dammit.

Haree,

great list.  I THINK you can fix the navigation by holding down shift when setting their travel path and right clicking on each planet you want them to travel to. so you can have them move threw the phaselanes in the way you want them to.   could be wrong though.

I also highly agree with the planet diversity thing. I think moons would be awesome orbiting a planet, so it would be like having a planet and a mini planet in the same gravity well.  add a few extra slots and functionality to that gravity well.

Nit-Pick:

I assume this is in reference to the Advent Halcyon's telekinetic push ability? I think that is one that actually has a cool effect...they are psychically conjuring up extra-sensory hands to expel the heathen strike craft, looks and sounds pretty awesome to me.

@Haree78   to each his own I guess. I personally could do without the hands or any other graphic effect besides lasers and various other firepower.    possibly a "realism" mode that stripped the effects to just combat related ( explosions, debris, fighters moving around,etc) that could be turned on and off with a checkbox.

You can disable all those messages by setting Dialogue volume to 0.

Hi KlaxXxon,

Problem is you dont get informed when your planet is under attack this is especially bad when those raiding troops arrives (another unneccesary research upgrade in my opinion)

I suppose you're talking about very large numbers.

Just want to point out in case you didn't know: I think shift-click allows you to send more than 250.

It would still take a lot of clicking to get to 100000 though.

It's odd to even talk about Advent effects being "realistic" when we're talking about a race that has a giant psychic hivemind that is capable of mind controlling an entire planet's populace either to their side, or into mass psychosis and murder. Or of telekenetically controlling swarms of strike craft from the safety of the mothership, and of storing the souls of dead crews to implant them into new bodies. There's more, of course, but this post would be too long if I listed all of them.

And we're not even getting into the implausability of phase jumping and ships of the sizes we have in Sins.

Giant ghosty hands are a very clear and easy to interpret sign of telekenetic pushing, and one that is commonly used, it just works.

The TEC Loyalist Titan effects in general are quite over the top.

Though it is fun to play around in dev mode with cooldowns on 0 and have a disco planet by spamming Inspire and Impair every half a second.

lolol

Why you make me laugh in class.
