Popup Fleet Menu
« on: February 06, 2010, 02:02:31 PM »
I have added a small popup menu to the System Map for v5.0. If you right click on a fleet or list of fleets, a menu will popup listing all the fleets in that location. Clicking on the menu will load the Fleet window with the chosen fleet selected.

I have expanded the popup menu to include ship contacts as well. When you select the contact from the popup menu, it opens the Tactical Intelligence window with the chosen alien class selected.

I get the suspicion you are doing this on purpose.

Just when I get my new campaign running, you come up with all that great new stuff that will realy make it sooo hard to keep going with the old version once 5.0 comes out.

Shame on you :)

I have also added populations and ships to the Popup menu. Clicking on a pop will take you to the Population Summary screen for that pop. Clicking on a ship will take you to the Ship window for that ship.

I think the main thing that people will notice in v5.0 is far less NPR interrupts, as well as the major change to detection that allows you to identify passive targets.

For v5.02 I have added a Create Colony option to the right-click menu for any system body where you don't already have a population. That should save the hassle of opening the F9 window.
