Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
You can see everything in the quadrant. Think "god mode"... although I don't think you can see things like opponent ship designs, facilities on planets, etc. It's just like having a bare-bones satellite in each system, pretty much.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
Re: File size and viewing systems you've moved through
Of course file size is important for any files that need to be e-mailed or transfered, but could this data not be stored on the players own drive? Also I doubt even if it was stored in the .gam file that it would increase the file size by 21 times. The current 'snapshot' of the galaxy must contain a lot of info that you would not need to view a system (ie details on all facilities on every plant, build queues on those planets etc).
However the point is that being able to view what was in a system the Last time you could see it would be a very nice feature IMHO. Wether or not it is feasable or wether or not it would negativly affect the saved files sizes is a question only MM can answer.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
I do a lot of micromanagment and one thing I'd like is to see - that no one mentions - is the ability to give orders without having to jump to the planet or ship. For instance launch satellite or retrofit at the ship list.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
I tried, I really, reeally tried, but I couldn't do it. I cannot ask for only 3 of those almost all excellant choices. If I did restrict my vote to 3 choices, I would be lying about what I really want.

IIRC, the combat data is stored in *.cmb files, but it has been a while since I've played, so I might be hallucinating 
And? Whether the info is in 1 file or 2 doesn't really make a difference (except for a few bytes for creating the second file). |

None of the above. Fix all current bugs, then we'll talk.
