civilian stuff shipping by regular freighters
« on: January 18, 2014, 05:42:30 AM »
merchant vessels from shipping lines work in automated way what is nice
sometimes they move stuff , sometimes they thing moving trading goods is much better idea
the longer you are in game the more usually you rely on them moving infrastructure , automated mines etc
sometimes it makes your own freighters getting rust when you wait for civilians to move stuff that is not urgent

my idea is to make freighters doing transport stuff defined in civilian/ind-status when sent to this kind of duty
what would be needed is check box ( do cililian stuff) and maybe giving them refuel point
maybe creating a group within task groups that would be treated like a pool for this kind of activity

moving lots of stuff ( some of them even before you have shipping line working) can be boring ( issuing lots of orders ) when giving demand / supply infos in civilian / ind -status is much nicer ,faster and less time consuming
especially hauling algorythms are already in game ...
