POLL->things we'd really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)

[Skulky]

*light clicks on in head* What if the views of these systems you "saw" were stored on YOUR harddrive? YOUR hard drive would take a "screenshot" each turn, then check if it needed to update it with a new one from the current .gam file. If it didn't then it would save it for your viewing. I already do this for one of my games with the "print screen" command and then placing it in a .ppt file only it doesn't have as much detail as a game generated one would.

If it was turned on in the normal game then each player (depending on their HD space) coudl decided whether to use it or not. I don't think you'd have a problem with hacking either, despite the generally honest nature of everyone here, because, unless you tricked the game into thinking you had a ship there you wouldnt' get a "newer" update.

Hope that makes sense.
