Any way to list enemy ships?
 
I often spend a great deal of time scanning the map, looking for enemy ships. Can I somehow get a list of enemy ships that have been spotted?

Thanks,
Merry

Look at the galaxy map.
Any system with an alien presence will have a triangle marker instead of a simple circle.

Thank you, SJ. But, the triangle only says there is at least one ship, right? What if there are two, and the ship set blends in to the background. Is there some way to find enemy ships within a system?

also once you have scanned an enemy ship its design appears in the designs box. this has been helpful at keeping track of enemy tech progress.

do you mean a list like the one of you ships showing their status, orders and location? if so then i have not found one yet, so i would say no.

That is too bad. If I wanted to exploid this, I might design a ship set where all the ships look like little clusters of stars that match the background. No one would ever see me coming...! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

actually there is talk of an invisible shipset. not sure if it has already been made or not.

...Except that everyone would replace your shipset with one resembling a glowing white box the minute they had to squint to find your ships. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I think this already happens fairly frequently on PBW.
