I'm currently working on showing ships on the map. Wondering how many people think system lords should allow ships to sit idle on a empty spot in space. Where you could simply click anywhere on the map to send your ships too.

Yep, but as Rumo said - those ships should still be able to be attacked, even if they are stationary somewhere in the limbo. They shouldn't be able to attack each other while moving in hyperspace though.<br /><br />~N

I said no, <br /><br />Reason: why would you want to have a ship in limbo? <br /><br />Atm ships are capped at 1 hour away from each planet. Will you be changing that so planets next to each other could be 10 mins away?<br /><br />Reason, you could create a staging ground of sorts outside someones planets that are only 10 mins away.<br /><br />But there is one benefit, you could say that each alliance is allowed to build 1 spacestation, thats acts as a defensive point in the middle of space.

Well one benefit would be that you could build your fleet in secret, provided that only those with bigger intelligence or even better - a new tech is added, radar tech, could spot your ships. You could also prepare an attack against a certain planet with your ships being positioned near it or well somewhere in the limbo instead of having to attack a planet in order to get your ships there, wait till they are all there and then attack the planet you meant to attack. <br />It would also open up some new strategies - perhaps one couldn't send cargo or trade ships directly from one planet to another, if a fleet of ha'taks is in the way. That would add up to realistic feel as you would have to change the route of cargo/trade ships or send ha'taks with them to protect them ;)<br /><br />~N

ya you would beable to attack the ships of course :) other wise that would really suck lol cause someone could put ships right next to your planet <br /><br />also the alert system would change. you would detect ships that come near a planet as well. in the alert window

i think ships should only be able to be sent to planets. anything more would be too much. i mean there will be many many more planets than we have at the moment so there will be enough choice where to send the ships. of course it would be more realistic but at some point realistic things make a game too complex and too complicated with only little advatage for playing so it should be left as it is.

You're adding in food... so.. if the ships would run out of food eventually, then I would say yes. As that stops people from amassing a great army in space and 'cheating' the food limitation mechanism.

Showing ships on the map is finished but now making it work with stealth and observatory etc....<br /><br />Its pretty amazing guy's i'll tell you all that. Huge increase in wow factor for the game.

There is a unforseen issue.<br /><br />Not sure what to do about when ships are hovering over a star. When that happends users cant click on the star<br />I can either make the ships go behind the star<br />make a check box to to show/hide ships on the map.<br />or you click on the ship just to hide the individual ship for a few seconds.

A nice idea later down the line would be to have spacial anomalies that can be used. <br />Ie black hole that ships can hide in and not be seen on the map but not for a long extended time, nebula's, could have some of the shows random planets and black holes in it.

I just hope that the hyper space will be like stargate universe and not we like a warp that takes seconds to get places and is actually a real scale and takes time if u dont have a good or no ftl drive.<br /><br />i would love to talk to someone about an idea for the game so could someone pls contact me and we can talk<br />
