post anything and everything you want changed or added here, if we put all our ideas in one place it is easyer to find it[:)]

Ok, here I go..

I think there are a few things you could do to the gui. First off I have the demo so I don't know whats been fixed or not.
Most if not all of these I am sure Milo is aware of and some i've seen in other posts as well

1. Scrollable selection bars in the triggers and objective lists in the mission editor for those real long single missions (we've all done them!) Please fix the graphical problems related to these (my gfx card is a GF4)
as they look UgLy and have been known to crash my demo.

2. Please give us milo ship lists or at the very least let us know what role the AI/Player "should" use them as. This is so us mission boys can write exciting and effective episodes to continue to thrill & fit in even after the game goes to release
3. A dead zone for joysticks? as you all know joysticks don't last long.
4. A better ai targeting routine - threat response, no more vacuum painting by numbers please.
5. Lock Nav points to objects in nav screen . This is so you can create more 3d environments and not have to feel you have to put all your eggs on the flat.
6. When using shift and move patrol on release of mouse the nav point jumps to the mouse position often requiring repositioning.
7. Move Dammit! I said move the patrol! Now I just dont bother and use nav points - very awkward in a firefight.
8. Stop Dammit! I said Stop the patrol! Pleeeese give us an all stop and a disengage command in actions menu and Hold 'unlimited' on Nav points.
9. Gun crews! kill that fighter! Is it - a. holding up the landing cycle
b. Dead in space
c. On collision course
d. As I need to speak to no 10 on the radio
The choice is yours! ergo - Scuttle command please? two digit radio call scrolling & entry system eg- 01, 02, 03
10. On related note I cant find the eject - no wait! I can't die so it doesn't really matter anyway ?!? what's up with the immortality? I Like to die every now and again.
11. I was disappointed to see the loss of the 3d cockpit view. So please give us a generic one with up/down left/right indicators so you know where ur looking.
12. Some height maps of planet surfaces or some way of denoting flatspots
13. Farcasting/travel to different starsystems in same way as sectors. using miss ed.
14. I couln't just leave it there at 13 now could i? [:'(]

Edit some config file, can't remember file name. There is line which should explain itself.
