Feature request: Build queue change for SE5

Pax · #1 July 15th, 2002, 12:11 AM

Well, if it coudl be done in SE4/Gold, I'd love it BUT ... let's not push our luck, hmm?

The concept is this: change the Buidl Queue UI to match that or the Research Project and Intelligence Project UI's.

This would make it easier to divide build capacity evenly between two or more projects, as well as making all three "queue" type UI's the same.

So ... would you like to see this sort of change, or no? Once the poll is closed, I can email MM with the results ... consider thsi sort of a petition, with signatures and COUNTEr-seignatures all at once.

Only until the results are in. Consdier it a sort of secret ballot; everyone will be able to view the results once it closes.

Also, this's the first poll I've put up here, so ... I was kinda playin' around with the options ...

I'd rather see just the reverse myself. If we could 'link up' multiple shipyards to work on a single project life would be much easier in the late game when you want to build starbases on warp points.

Well IMO that would be a seperate issue. I -do- think it woudl be nice for, at least with space-based yards (ship or base alike) ... the *fleet* should have the queue, not each individual ship (if you want that,split 'em off into other fleets and/or solo).

Be careful what you wish for.

Wouldn't this make building ringworlds and sphereworlds easier?

Seriously, I think the whole reason we can't combine the output of multiple shipyards (unmodded game) is because the game designer's concept of shipbuilding didn't consider modular components that could be built at multiple yards. But, since I'm not a mindreader, this is just a guess.
