Planet Menu - Systems to Avoid

StarJack · #1 October 21st, 2006, 08:42 PM

I colonize off of the Planets List in larger games. I found out how to flag a system as "To Avoid" by selecting a planet in that system and using set orders(was much easier in SEIV). I don't see a way to drop planets to avoid from the Planets list? Can someone tell me where that extremely helpful feature has been moved to?

Anybody see a way to NOT display planets from systems marked "Avoid" in the planets list?

This was a toggle on/off feature in the planets list in SEIV that I used a lot...

So, am I the only person playing the game that uses the planets menu to colonize with? If not don't you have situations where your scout ships are hitting new systems with planets that you do not want to colonize yet? In large system games doesn't this create a situation (when you�re expanding) where you have numerous planets in the planets menu, some of which you don't want to colonize just yet? How do you manage this?

I used the ability to hide planets in systems flagged to avoid in the planets menu extensively in every SEIV game I've played. Can I get this added to the improvements request list? I'm going a little crazy trying to figure out how else to do this without clicking repeatedly (which there is already plenty of) or writing stuff down.

I used the planets menu too but never bothered with "out of limits".
The best solution I can think of is to see if there is a column that lets you see if a system is out of limits (try creating a custom layout - maybe in there). If there is you could order by that, but lose ordering by size/breathability/type.

I also use the system avoid and planets menu like you in SEIV. Unforunatly my 0-1 FPS refresh rate of SEV has put testing things there on hold for a while.

Just wondering if there is any hope of getting this added to the planets menu? I've looked until I'm dizzy for a workaround using the custom views but don't see one. If there's a place where what will be addressed in the game interface/menu's will be addressed is being kept please point me to it? In large games this is really a chore. Thanks.
