Ideas! what can you come up with?

from Sins Forums

lets make a place for any ideas/changes we would like to see, one place ya know hopefully so mods can get the info faster.

 

a. i seen a post someone asking how to use a ability on all his ships of that type at the same time. id like to see this!

my reply   ( is there no way we can have a like Shift click on ability and it will use the ability with all the same selected units i know it would guardian micro so much easier when im microing like 3 other groups)

 

b. in starcraft UI your groups are displayed right above the lower mid screen. fleet on the other hand are at the top of your left slider, but i find with all the traffic in my systems fighting ect. my slider is always all over the place. could we add something similar? like just right above the picture of the ship you have selected or to the left/right of that have the little fleet icon/colors there so we could sort/manage/select them faster. i know it would be so nice to for say the first icon be the entire fleet and the the next 3/4 be my lums/guardians/caps ect, in tangent with the idea above it would make micro more efficient in my opinion :P

Don't want to be rude, but the forums are the place where people put their ideas into the open. ;P

In a thread they would most likely just be overlooked, while they receive the maximum amount of attention when they are posted as a new thread.

If I were able to build an office building in the gravity well, does that mean I can buy pink Space Ponies?

I will repost these until they get implemented :grin: :

 

Empire at War style cinematic camera.

Please turn off AI surrender, or at least make an option to disable it.

Planetside (surface-to-space) weapons capable of firing into orbit. Will make now underused siege frigates more useful, since destroying all orbital defenses would not be enough to secure the gravity well.

Colonizable asteroids and moons could really use some sort of indicator that they are inhabited. Its fantastic that the planets have city lights, etc on the dark side and the elevators. Moons and asteroids really need something similar.

I would request making the ship/station/planet name character limit longer. I cant even name my ship TDN Enterprise without it being cut off. The text could get progressively smaller as the name gets longer, to avoid it going off the infocard.
A way to also name fleets would be uber cool.

I would really like the possibility of being able to fleet down, if I lose many planets. Now fleeting up is a definitive decision.

Automatic fleet splitting. I propose an automatic fleet split button, which would split all corvettes, frigates and cruisers in a large fleet equally into smaller fleets, because manually splitting large fleets is a pain in the ass. Or GalCiv 2 style fleet manager window.

We are talking Star Wars: Empire at War / Forces of Corruption, yes? If so, that would be great. Really give you nice shots of the fight and the ships with a press of a button.

There is a cinematic camera. Unless you're talking about the lame follow the units around from the same repetitive camera angles thing. ;)

Technically mods sort of do it, but I don't think its necessary.

Its still connected to an orbital building.

But I like the horrible repetitious and terribly angled cameras! I only ever did it in large battles and where nothing else needed input from me because all I wanted to do is watch the world burn, so the repetition wasn't much trouble. But with Sins' lack of hardpoints and chunks of ships falling into space during a fight, maybe it isn't all that necessary.

Honestly a thread by the devs showing a link to all of the ideas they are considering / rejecting would be more useful. Since many topics get reposted many times.

I would be very happy with a feature like this one.
