Default Re: A wishlist for SEIV 1.42

I just noticed how long my Last post was.

Sorry about that.

A little off topic from the thread.

But my wish list for 1.42 is tatical combat in multiplayer games. And the ability to sort reports.

Intel would be nice as well

Does anybody want to write a quickie program that monitors a shared drive for new turn files, then launches SE4 with the new file?

If not, I'll have to do it myself.

OK, fine, I've done it myself.

This program will monitor a folder/directory for new SE4 savegames, and prompt you to run SE4 with any samegames that appear.
If you click yes to the query, SE4 will automatically be run, loading the savegame, and using your player # and password.

This only works under 1.41 or higher, so I had quite a time testing it . (I've got 1.35 installed, since it dosen't crash under WinME)

In the ships units screen there should be away to not show ships that are part of a fleet, or better yet to have it so that it looks like explorer where fleets are similar tp sub directories that can be expanded and minimised to show what they contain.

this way i can get my list of 6000 ships down to something manageable.

My wishlist would include:

1) Make Warp Points unstable the turn of their creation. See forum thread:
www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/Forum23/HTML/003647.html

2) Fix Diplomacy so that the AI follows through on its' commitments.

3) Fix the Counter Intelligence bug. This is a big one as right now I will not play with intel it is getting so bad. One of my current games I was losing a ship a turn to crew mutinies instigated by a single empire. All his attacks were unstoppable despite my CI projects simply because he had more than one attack "maturing" per turn against me. (check for threads on this well known feature-breaking bug).
