Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
DaveG, Thanks for putting this together. 3 options is a great idea. It realy forces you to say where you would like Arron to focus his efforts.

That's what I was trying to say, just couldn't find the right explanation, I guess... With the current game file, the only thing that could be accomplished is a slightly toned down Version of omnipresent viewpoint.

IIRC, the combat data is stored in *.cmb files, but it has been a while since I've played, so I might be hallucinating

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
Speaking of omnipresent view, what exactly does this do? I've never used it in a game and I've always wondered what it did.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
You can see everything in the quadrant. Think "god mode"... although I don't think you can see things like opponent ship designs, facilities on planets, etc. It's just like having a bare-bones satellite in each system, pretty much.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
Re: File size and viewing systems you've moved through
Of course file size is important for any files that need to be e-mailed or transfered, but could this data not be stored on the players own drive? Also I doubt even if it was stored in the .gam file that it would increase the file size by 21 times. The current 'snapshot' of the galaxy must contain a lot of info that you would not need to view a system (ie details on all facilities on every plant, build queues on those planets etc).
However the point is that being able to view what was in a system the Last time you could see it would be a very nice feature IMHO. Wether or not it is feasable or wether or not it would negativly affect the saved files sizes is a question only MM can answer.
