Well, I been playing, and thinking....

I have just some minor thing's that would make the "game flow" more even.....

1} in ship display - Show ETA for I-Flight( a countdown would be nice but showing ETA in Sever/Local time would do) = This Save's un-needed click-thru's to find valueable information, reduceing server impact/reaction time's

2} main Nav Sidebar - Sub-catagory display
IE: I select Planet's from the top NavBar - In the side NavBar would be a list of planet's by name(shortcut's) = By adding the list in side NavBar it reduces click-thru's

3} The BIG WISH - 3D Map - A Simple X,Y,Z Map showing my/clan planets , and the Board Computer Log input's co-ord'z as probe/nearby detect's - coloration would be very cool too...

Some minor thing's that would reduce server load and speed the transition from planet to planet for resource/def adjustment's or to move a fleet in from more than one star system. Hope you consider these thing's and I ask for input from other's.

LOL-everyone's deepest sweetest desires.

There is a program that is essentially a big 3D-Map, SL Visualiser. You can find it on the trading forum...although you might find it a little expensive, and with all respect to Digiat the program is a bit of an eyesore every time you look at it.

Simple thing for number 1...Oh Prof! Iiri! Please masters?
And number two...people have been asking for that for a while. Have to wait for the Prof on that one.

... Poor advice, even the most harmless seeming 3rd party software can be used as a security breach, even if it has been approved by the game manufacturer. It is best advised to use the function of the game itself, to overt these issue's.

It has tacit approval anyway. Also, yes, a player could provide a trojan in the form of a useful addon; in the end the question is - do you trust this person? Personally I feel that Digiat would have more to lose than gain by providing a trojan (and hence trust her... On the flip side, I've been shown to be too trusting before ;P).

Also, I think Zygi may have experimented with something like that, but prolly took it out because it slowed down the game or somesuch... with an order of magnitude fewer users ;P. That said, 1 is on my list (but I haven't done it for fear of upsetting players), and I don't quite get #2.

Thnxx for your reply.... I will give you an example....

In Top NavBar you have Planets, ship's, etc, etc...

When one of the Primary Catagories is selected from top NavBar...
Leave the current leftside NavBar as is, but add, link's/button's for each planet/ship in a link list. Selecting the Primary Option from top navbar would still open the"planets" list in primary game window, but it would also open a link set in leftside NavBar... sorta like the pull down menu's used in window's, but just in the NavBar....
