Next Patch wishes....

[Deathstalker]

Its been a bit, so I thought I'd post my 'top #' fixes I'd love to see in the next patch., no real particular order xcept for the first three, which are (IMO) manditory:

1. Command Line options not working for multi correctly (PBW would rock even more with all the available mod options, like modpack AI's).
2. 'AI do nothing during simil' line, does NOT work, tired of missing a turn in pbw/pbem and having the AI screw up royaly.
3. Counter/Intell BUG!!!! (big squishy one!)
4. Cloaking/AI use of, esp with minesweeping and shipyards...
5. Retrofitting...STILL not working right during multi play.
6. Re-Balance the Crystal Torp, to little damage!!! (x2 damage please, or ROF of 1 would be nice).
7. The 'included as 'defense' or 'attack' for fleets' line that is in the Design_Creations.txt, would like to see that added/worked in.
8. DRONES!!!!

Nuff said for now......

Drones too!!

Some hardcode tweaks to make life easier for the Pirates and Nomads modders and the Space Monster modders would probably be quite well recieved too, and Aaron wouldn't have to do any of the work of creating the mods himself. Just provide a few tools in the parts of the program the modders can't reach.

Drones are very high on my wish list too.
Any news when the next patch will come??

... nature shrines should get back their system wide abilities, pleeeaaase.

#1. A text file with settings to allow customizing of what conditions are required for the AI to go into the various states, and a short synopsis of how the states effect the ministers.

#2. Option of calling out either the Design Name or Design type in the ConstructVehicle file.

#3. Boolian fields for including a design in attack fleets and defense fleets in the DesignCreation file, so that the AI knows wether it should include each design in attack fleets, defense fleets, both or none.

#4. Ability to declare new Design Types, and designate which minister they are to be used by.

#5. Drones - I'd be happy with them being a missile that allowed you to design them like a fighter, and haveing thier own bays like sts, mines, and fighters.

#6. A data file allowing us to define the functions of the ministers for each AI and indicate which minister has senority. Also, the ability to define new ministers to be used by the specific AI. (tie in with my #1 below)

#7. AI lauch/use mines and satellites in combat. (or True/False option to designate wether they do or not).

#8. Ability to create layered strategies using if-then statements for the presence of different hostile design types, planets, enemies weapon type, etc...
