warplanner for wish list ?

[spidergod]

Hello

Been thinking that a war planner would be a cool thing to add?

somewhere you can fine tune an attack(s)

What do other folks think?

Great idea wars are currently quick chaotic!!!

[spidergod]

I have not started one yet, was on the brink of setting one off last night but then the game crashed

I expect they do get very chaotic though.

How would you envision the war planner?

[spidergod]

A way of setting up fleets to sync attacks on bases, so maybe the heavy hitter fleet goes in first and the 2nd (3rd,4th etc) smaller fleet comes in to mop up (not sure if this will/would be possible though)

Setting up target prioritys based on ship type and weapon type (plus stances).

A way of setting up a sneaky hit and run attack on weaker races (maybe it could be tied in with some intelligence missions)

The tactical planner on the ships/ship design is great, but maybe it could have a few extra options based on the above.

maybe I am thinking too much about how wargames work?

also thinking how about a morality system?

depending on your moral choices you could even have your own fleets turn on you and create a civil war?

[spidergod]

I think I have watched too much babylon 5 and battlestar galactica

The game needs a battle ledger like in EU3.You should have a way to know when and where ships are fighting on the fly.

I don't a morality system that declares an empire "good" or "evil".
I like the Distant Worlds version which is the reputation system,in addition to race statistics of passive(+-), aggressive(+-), Cautious(+-), Reckless(+-), Friendly(+-), Unfriendly(+-).
The reputation system is affected by, and affects, many elements.

The ability to command ships directly from the Ships screen, by right clicking on them and ordering would be cool.
