Semi-Official 7.x Suggestion Thread

When research finishes and a diff research is queued to immediately start can we please not have auto turn disable?   Autoturn should only disable for things that require intervention.    When we've set up a queue we dont want interrupted. 

In general EVERYTHING that has an interrupt should allow the player to disable that interrupt.   We did already intentionally check 'autoturn' after all.

Not like this has been requested thousands of times already. [/sarcasm]

Ability to toggle jump gates completely off, for both player, the NPRs and of showing up randomly.

[Sheb]

Can the NPRs manage without jump gates? Especially for civilian expension?

[Garfunkel]

They do use jump engines. I don't know if NPRs even have a civilian sector the way a player does. I doubt it.

Is there any possibility of a 'laptop mode' for lack of a better phrase that can be used in the game creation menu makes the tabs 1366x768 and adds a scroll bar on the side? I don't know whether it would be feasible but off the top of my head a modified CSS may be able to do it, if Aurora uses a CSS. . .

I don't know, either way it seems like something that would allow people with a laptop to play it on train journeys and the like.

[Sheb]

I mean, do they build jump freighters and jump colony ships?

The simple answer is "no".

The extended answer is "no, because it is a one-man job, and Steve's resolution is greater than that. And this has been addressed multiple times prior. And Aurora does not use CSS."

An indicator on the system survey data chart/screen that the body has had a ground survey performed.  Once you abandon the "colony" it becomes increasingly difficult to remember which bodies you surveyed with a geoteam.  This could be something that shows up in the lower window when you click on a body rather than an additionaly column.

Also a change in the variable type for components so that you can transfer larger component in lots.  I tried to transfer a jump gate construction module and it showed up as 0 modules on earth and none on rosetta rather than 0.2 and 0.8 respectively.  I'm guessing this is due to integer variables used for the stockpile.

Yes, this please.  For instance, in the F9 system display, where (blank)/S/M indicates survey+minerals status, add 'G' to flag ground survey completed (supersedes 'S') would be very helpful.

Fuel "drop tanks" that are loaded into a missile launcher (mainly box launchers) to extend the range of a small ship.

Ie. I have a fighter or FAC. It has a set fuel load... but i want to make a strike at something a bit outside of its normal range.
I could send a tanker... or i could attach a tank to the ship somehow, giving it the bit extra fuel to go a little farther.


Have already done this in real warships using tractor beams and having a droptank "ship"

List a ship's internal HTK stat in the class summary display.

[Paul M]

A minor fluf request:  can we have the possibility to name the ground training facilities?

[Garfunkel]

and Civilian Shipping Lines too, please!

[Mastik]

Would it be possible to have PDCs listed on the planetary summary page.
