Things we'd like to see in the next patch

Ok, this thing is up to 12 pages so if I am repeating something someone else said forgive me.

I would like to see the capability of moving through jump points made into an “ability” to be giving out of the Ability.txt file. Such as “Combat Best Experience” ability for example.

I would also like to see the ability “Drop Troops” programmed so that it can work with fighters. Actually it is for a strain of fighters that I call small craft. You can think of them as pre-fighter fighters, just think of the shuttles used in Star Wars or Star Trek that ferried men and equipment.

Finally I would like to see (this is a big one) a new “ability” that could be called “Dock Ship” or “Link Ships”. I think this one is pretty self-explanatory but just in case it would allow two or more ships to link up but not fire when linked. This would allow for the creation of a strain of warships that need a piggy back ride through jump points but can “unlink” before combat; fight; then link back up for the next transit.

Oh, since I am making out a wish list two more things. Change the tactical screen from squares to hexes; add in the ability to flee combat like in SE III; and add firing arcs to the Ability.txt file or as a line in the Components.txt file such as the “Weapon Type” line is.

That’s a lot of wishes!
