Random Suggestions

[Fruntxas]

Here we go:

- Shortcut to Alliance Defence tab (besides the YOUR ALLIANCE HAS NEW/OPEN INCOMINGS REPORTED thingie)

- Create a drop-down menu or maybe when you hover with the mouse on the left menus you can see the remaining options. Something like:
- Mining
- Mining
- Galaxy Fund
- Open Market Trade
Although the 3 other options would only show up after a click


- CovOpp should be able to create an higher impact. Some suggestions would be:
- Ability to steal more value on ships
- The ability to discover intel either on the government or the % of security workers
- Government subversion lasting longer (maybe Agents/2??)
- The way how Hacking science database works is ridiculous and useless
- More XP (Exploding Fist = 1 XP??? -> Really?!?)
- Check what is the least-used operation and remove it. Maybe add the ability to blow up ships instead.

- Research
- Ability to go up to 300 constructions

- Population
- Increase Construction limit to 40/45%
- Reduce Shipwrights limit

- Waves
- Ability to perform different types of scans at the same time on Galaxy Scan
- Possibility to see government on Dev Scan? This one is a longshot

- Politics
- Get a confirmation dialog before performing a donation



Thanks for reading

It is almost always a bad idea to group a bunch of unrelated suggestions into a single thread. The ones that are easily accepted are invariably snowed under by the controversial suggestions that take up several pages (or several threads) of frenzied debate, to no clear end.

You also have made very little attempt to elucidate your goals with these suggestions. For example, 300 constructions. Why? How does that make the game better? This forces your readers to each make up their own goal, providing a source of conflict where there need be none.

Is it better to create 5 different posts?

It's like discussing ship stats no? You put something up and then change accordingly.

300 constructions just so construction-based players don't reach the 250-limit one week before round ends

Politics
--Galactic Commander should also have the abilities of MoC, MoD, and MoW. Yes, GC can already message the Galaxy (MoC ability), but has no access to Galaxy Fund (MoD ability) or MoW abilities either.

Alliance Defence is an option that is handed out by alliances, its not something everyone has access to so i see this as pointless.

- Create a drop-down menu or maybe when you hover with the mouse on the left menus you can see the remaining options. Something like:
- Mining
- Mining
- Galaxy Fund
- Open Market Trade

So rather than clicking on mining and the page loading within 5 seconds and those 3 options being available to click i now hover a mouse (which i cant do on a mobile phone) over Mining and then click? I can only seen this as an issue that needs addressing in a game where speed is essential and PA isnt that type of game.

- CovOpp should be able to create an higher impact. Some suggestions would be:

- The ability to discover intel either on the government or the % of security workers

Covops need vastly more grass roots work than these changes you suggested but i can understand where you are coming from with your proposals. The blow up ships covop was removed to add the steal ship one btw.

- Research
- Ability to go up to 300 constructions

For the 5 people who probably obtain 250 cons a round i see this as unnessecary coding work when there is more important things to do be done and far better suggestions elsewhere for changes to Constructions and Research as a whole.

- Population
- Increase Construction limit to 40/45%
- Reduce Shipwrights limit

So allow people to make constructions faster but remove the ability to buil ships quickly when incs appear? I dont see the point in this. I dont think the construction rate is an issue in the game atm nor the shipwrights. I think if you are going to fiddle with population then just allow people full control over where they put there 100% but make less than 5% mean that the area doesnt work.

- Waves
- Ability to perform different types of scans at the same time on Galaxy Scan
- Possibility to see government on Dev Scan? This one is a longshot

Im not a scan person so this more one for one of the Scan Team to look at but i think anything that reveals Government should be a Covop, not a basic scan.

- Politics
- Get a confirmation dialog before performing a donation

Might be a good thing, like when you use your credits on planets, but again not a change that is gonna change the game or make it noticably better

Loved the idea about using a Covop to see government.

Appoco asked me to split this into topics due to Mz's suggestion so I've done so.

Thanks Mz!
