Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
 

I like this idea! Satellites "orbit" the planet slowly during combat - maybe one 'square' every combat turn or two. Add to this the request that not all satellites be stacked on a single point - they should be randomly scattered around. Also, how about making some of them also orbit the moons (those that you own) in the same system? (number based on population difference or something?)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Are you aware of the way SE4 modding works? Every mod gets it own folder and does not change the default files at all. It is possible to have many mods installed at the same time, just not being -played- at the same time.

The exceptions are things like the image mod, which are 100% harmless and do not effect the stock game at all. Install the image mod then start up stock SE4 and you will see NO difference.

I think that Lighthorse's wishes make the game far too difficult. It looks like you want to swamp the average player in far too many options. For us, long time Users it's an easy transition. But for the newcommer it's a hell on Earth.
The KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method is still very usefull. No wonder noobs are scared to death when they try this game and leave for another, easier to understand game.

Excellent point Timstone. What neat about SE4 and should be included in SE5 is when you first start up the game, you allow to create the galaxy base on some options. Maybe what SE5 needs is more choices one could make before the game. As for my other wishes, yes there were a lot of them, but I have learned to ask for the moon and if you're lucky you may get a stone.

Thanks for your reply Timstone

Hot Damn, I'm moving up in the ranks, I'm a sergeant now, cool.

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
 

I don't know if this has been posted, but it would be nice to have a couple more options when it comes to displaying all planets.
-display the planets only in the selected systems (using a check list, with a select all/none option).
Edit: then again, a checklist could be rather long. maybe a map feature, like with the "sys to avoid" function?
-sort by type and/or size.

This is mainly to facilitate planet counts. It's sortta time consuming to run around counting planets so that I don't end up producing 20 Ice colonies when i just need 5.

Better orders management system. Not just remove all orders option, but move up/down in the list, cancel one order, repeat N times.
