Give us way points instead of pathfinding!
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2024 8:22 am
Hello, I am playing using the latest GOG-version (1.2.0.5.1), but pathfinding is still a issue.
For example:
I have a fleet beside a planet in a solar system inside a nebula. Now, I want to move near the sun:
and the AI is doing this:
Pleeeeeaaaaaaaassssssssseeee, let me disable this automatic pathfinding! Instead, provide the ability to set several way points and I am sooooooooooo happy! And while you are at it, let me queue more than one action for a fleet or ship.
Other suggestions:
After cleaning a system of space monsters, provide an option so that my ship(s) AUTOMATICALLY collect all the resources from the corpses of the space monsters.
If I have a fuel tanker in my fleet, make it auto-refuel the other ships in the fleet.
Let me set up routes and let me assign ships with certain actions which are repeated several times. Example: If you just colonized a planet and want to increase the population the fast way by transporting population using colony ships, this would much less a pain, when it could be automated with setting up a route and provide the actions for each way point AND make it repeating until I want to stop it or something like that.
Positives:
The whole game is quite good, but to mention something I especially like:
I really like the retrofit feature, that I can set manually, what is the next ship when retrofitting, that's a really good idea!
Thanks Tom
