An Idea....

[dumbluck]

For the Rename command, you just have a box to type in the new name. I think it would be cool if you had a drop-down list, similar to the design name list under ship designs. The list could just use the Designname.txt, or it could use a new one like Newname.txt (or whatever).

So, What do you think?

That would make renamiing enjoyable. Each rase could have it's own list.

[dumbluck]

Wow! Seems like my idea is kinda popular!

[dumbluck]

Is that all the votes I'm gonna get? I was hoping that this would be more popular than that...

[Skulky]

I woudl go for a seperate list, so that way you could have like spec. names that weren't class names

I think the poll is too lopsided. I think it's a good idea, but not as good as lots of suggested changes that would improve gameplay.

Would be a cool idea IF..... and a big IF you could tell what the ships stats were. I know you can tell in game how much tonnage a certain class has destroyed. What would be cool I think is to be able to see this for an individual ship. In this case if I had a ship that was doing well I would give it a cool name and then watch it advance. The way it is now I never bother to name my ships because it seems so pointless.

"I know you can tell in game how much tonnage a certain class has destroyed."

This is..ah.. somewhat buggy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It will occasionally show *simulator* kills in tha tonnage.

27 to 5 in favor of this idea. Cool!

For the Rename command?,Is a good idea, to expand on this, a scroll bar for componets as well. I have played a couple of teck modes, where not all the words of bonuses /special where there,but shows tips of words under the outer edge of menue.

Don't get me wrong it not a bad idea its just not nessecary. There are other things that malfador could spend its time on to make this a better game

[dumbluck]

Well, yea. I was just impressed that people actually thought that I had a good idea! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

So, should I bother MM with the results of the poll?

I just try to keep the e-mails short and concise - figure they're more likely to read and understand the ideas that way, and I feel like I'm not wasting all their time. For reference, I also included a URL to the original forum discussions, in case they take the idea seriously and want to see what others might have thought of the idea.

Heh heh. Converts are cool.

(yes, there is a hidden joke there.)
