It's all about role play:
1, 19, 20, 23, 24

And didn't I put my request for separate tactical and strategic MP into the other thread?

But I'll trade everything for a savegame/scenario editor! (One that couldn't be used to cheat, I mean.)

I like all of the ideas but if I can only pick 5 than it would have to be the following. But I would also like to see #34 More ground combat.

#7 1 vote
#12 1 vote
#14 2 votes
#25 1 vote

Personally, I want to see that bug/design flaw/feature that allows people to sneak normal damage past shields/armor fixed. I want fighter damage not stacked (side effect: emissive armor might finally be useful). I want to be able to order ships to be able to meet up with (or as) a fleet, then attack something when in simultaneous mode. Most importantly, I think fixing bugs/design flaws is more important than new features.

Obviously my requests have been mentioned in many threads before by many different people, although not recently. Anyone know if Aaron has any plans to follow up on them?

All I want is Sortable Reports.

Can you add this to the list or am I the only person who sees value in this.

Example.

265 planets.

200 of them have troop units
250 of them have weapon platforms
30 have fighters

So now I want to see which planets have fighters stored on them.

How do I do this. Right now I scroll by 265 planets on the cargo screen

I would like to select show fighters and thats it.

Then if I want to load those fighters on a ship I select the ship open the planet screen select cargo select show fighters only and click on that planet.

Then I can hit the upload button and select fighters.

Very simple and easy to manage.

Unlike the current way it is set up.

Another example of a good sortable report would be

265 planets

1 of them has a resource converter on it.

Can you tell me which one it is?

How about Select Planet Facility screen report and filter it to only show Resource Converters.

This drives me crazy in the game. Does anyone else see any value in this???

An addendum to this:

In Simultaneous mode, when you launch units, have it ask you how many and what kind and store this as part of the orders, so you can selectively launch different kinds of satellites (for example) if you are carrying several kinds, and also only launch half of your capability instead of launching all.

Similar request for the Jettison Cargo order. Nothing irks me more than when I fill up a domed colony cargo with WP's and have a new design and my only choice is to jettison all of a particular design in order to make room for the new ones. I'd like to be able to jettison them one at a time please.

Yes this is important for all the system-wide facility types. I get a PBW turn and often wonder if I have created such-and-such system facility in a system and have to go check all the planets in the system manually to find it.
