Rumours, Suggestions, Features on the Next Update

umm, about this whole no supply/no weapons firing thing. How does this apply to satellites? Do you need supply storage on sats to get them to fire? If so, how do you resupply them? IIRC, sats can't be added to fleets, so...

[CW]

No, sats don't need supplies to fire. Or rather, they are like bases and have unlimited supplies.

[dumbluck]

Does the same apply for a ship w/ a Quantum Reactor?

[Phoenix-D]

Since they never run out of supplies, yes.

Hate to go off of the Supply topic. But since this thread is for posting what should be in the next patch I'm going to put what I think should be in it. lol. But uhh, I think either in the next patch or SEV they should make derelict ships on the maps. For example: On the screen where you pick what kind of map to use, it has the options of: Grid, Mid-life, Cluster, and so on, they should put an option of a map that's called "War ravaged" or something like that. What this would be is when you select this it would have a bunch of old ships in it that were damaged badly by a great war of the past.

I don't think it would be too tough to add, sicne when you select Ancient map, you have more Black Holes then normal. So it shouldn't be too tough to add to the hard coding or whatever would have to be done to do it.

But then to retrieve these ships you'd have to have a coponate that allows you to beam over crew to take over the ship and get it back home to repair it. To me this would be a awesome addition to the game.

The idea came from Star Trek Armada, in that game you have a system that works along those lines. I just thought I'd mention it. Now you can go back to talking about supplys and so forth. haha. I just wanted to add my 2 cents worth.

I would like to have an option which enables the transfer of supply points from one ship to another. A kind of slider or textwindow which I can tip in the amount I want to transfer.

Ironically, I think MM didn't include the option to manually transfer supplies because it's too much micromanagement. Little did he suspect how fanatical some of us players would become...
