I still like to see the Retrofit list sorted by class name and not ship name! Being a rabid ship namer it really makes it tough when it comes to updating those large fleets! I'm usually forced to start naming all of the ships in a class with the same letter!

Yes, that is indeed a huge pain.

And even if you don't name your ships individually, if you start changing design class names...

We just can't cut Aaron any slack, now can we?

(Not just directed at Fyron - I want those comma separated lists too!!!

)

If you want to see some comma separated lists, make sure to email your request to se4 at malfador dot com. The more people that email him about a specific issue, the more likely he is to think it is a popularly wanted feature and thus the more likely he is to do it.

I believe I have... multiple times, probably.

Fyron · #36 January 26th, 2004, 05:32 AM

So... make a new email account and email him again?

Nah, that would not be a good idea...

"A certain game" - may I guess?

Don't worry I can offer a solution to this time-consuming problem: just do not resist any more

Now I wish I could do my turns in only 2 hours...

I've only been playing this game for 1 1/2 years. What the heck is a comma separated list? I'm not sure to what you're referring to.

In the components.txt file, there are vehicle type and target type entries that are fixed in certain combinations, for example:

Ship/Base/Sat or Ftr/Trp etc...

There are about 10 combinations you can pick from, but it doesn't cover all combinations of vehicle types that are possible!

So Fyron and others want you to be able to add any of the valid types using commas to separate them like this:

Ship, Base, Drone

That way you can specify any combination you can think of!

Resistance or no, you may be resolving this problem shortly. However, there is still that miracle I have on order. It would be nice if you get the opportunity to see it.
