Alliance Defence Page tool tip addition

Firstly a disclaimer: I havn't used the search function to check if this has been suggested before so appologies if it already has. Equally appologies if it is already implemented although im fairly sure it isn't.

Currently on the alliance def page if you hover over a planet that is in your alliance you are presented with a tool tip (not 100% sure tool tip is the correct word here) that displays the alliance members name.

Basically the suggestion here is to add intel to this page. If you are using the in game system ( i know a lot of alliances run a merlin clone) then alliances added in game show on a tool tip when you hover over the relevant co-ordinate.

for example
Target Origin
a) 2 3 4 1 2 3

you hover over 2 3 4 and are presented with your alliance mates name

you hover over 1 2 3 and are presented with the alliance name of that planet if entered

Re: Alliance Defence Page tool tip addition

I think this kind of has its merits, but most alliances that do any kind of intel gathering now will have a merlin clone or their own intel bot. I think people only fill out the ingame intel out of boredom during ticks nowadays.

But as always the main problem with this idea is that it involves coding or changing the game and the PA Team dont seem willing to do that.

I will quickly sidetrack and state that the galaxy def page is an abomination. YOu cant see any other scans apart from that of your own alliance (how does that help?? you can see them on your own ally def page!!). When checkboxing the class of ship it doesnt actually show up anywhere (doing the checkbox was mainly for ease of priortising and identifying what was coming when looking at the basic def page without expanding everything). The only thing that is of any use is the drop down box saying covered .... you would of thought as one of the most asked for game layout changes this would have been finished properly by now surelY???!!!


Sorry Sebos rant over!!

Re: Alliance Defence Page tool tip addition

i have to disagree kai, there have been a number of changes made (like the galaxy def page) over recent rounds. i think sebos suggestion is good as most alliances would bother to fill in intel ingame as this would make that worthwhile.

i am not saying i think a lot of changes are made but i think pa team does listen to well thought out suggestions and adds them when time allows.

Re: Alliance Defence Page tool tip addition

Yes Rein but they seem to be half assed implementations when we do get some.... like i just described with the galaxy def page, half baked and really not that worthwhile using (expect the dropdown box)

From what i know a lot of alliances dont even use the alliance defpage to deal with def calls nowadays so it wouldnt be that useful a tool - especially when everything is easier to input and retreive from currently used bots

Re: Alliance Defence Page tool tip addition

I'd prefer PA concentrate on gameplay changes rather than tweaks to the GUI.

None but ive seen alot of GUI changes.. so as i said, i'd prefer if they stopped all GUI changes and concentrated on a change that actually matters.
