RFC: Thoughts on New Features

[Instar]

Well, having multiple pics for each ship would be nice, but if you added new pics for each ship size, (lets say 10), that would tremendously increase the size of race files. Plus all the work involved in making the pics. Sounds neat, I cant alwasy remember who is who

I'd like to see an ability to designate a fleet as a destination (waypoint) for ships.

If the fleet moves the waypoint moves with them, it would make sending reinforcements to a fleet a lot simpler.

I like Taqwus' idea better -- just a batch of portraits (maybe, 6 like Moo2, or more) per ship or unit type, rather than tying them to the design type. I make up new designs too, typically so I don't forget that some designs don't have guns.

Also -- I never thought of having a Fleet be a waypoint, but now that it's been mentioned, I REALLY want that feature. That would be SO convenient.

We're all mad, down here.

What I'd like to see is pretty simple to implement:

Basically, I'd like each ship to have a different name picked from a file when it's created, not just the classname plus a 3 digit number.

Perhaps a text file with the same name as the class name (or hull size).

If it's there, anyway. If not, just use the numbering system.

Basically, it's a bit useless, but it does give them more personality...

You can rename individual ships with the "name" button.

Assume you have a 1kg squirrel
E=mc^2
E=1kg(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 50 megaton nuclear bomb.
Fear the squirrel.

[Spyder]

I would like to see ships on a long trip, automatically resupply (if a resupply point is near) when they start getting low.
