Re: Requesting feedback on \'Expansion Pack\'
 

I like a lot this game (the only one I'm playing from the moment I get my original CD!) but there are things I would like to see in a new patch or expansion pack ...

Little things:

- the possibility to have reports system by system (facilities, construction yard)
- the possibility to have planets ordered by dimension
- a sort of "military report" in Civ II style (number of ships of each type still active and dead ... and so on)
- the possibility to set destination points everywhere and not only on warp points
- a sort of equilibrium between the different
resource ... making also important to construct organic and radioactive mining colony.

Big Things:

- A better manual; expecially a good explanation of strategic combat
- A modder manual

bye bye

Destination point ?= waypoint? I remember in one game, I definitely had waypoints at planets (at training worlds, to form fleets) and stars (for SW construction).

You can also sort by another column first, and the next column sort will keep matching types in the same order as the first sort.

Warp command works the same way for warp points outside the system you're in, I'd think Attack does too, but I'm not sure.
