If GalCiv was a RTS game....

In other words. We need "waypoints" or "rallypoints" for ships BADLY in this game. From factory to launch to flight to destination without us having to cycle through each friggin screen so much. k done.

thx, V

Try posting this in the suggestions forum. If people think this is a good idea, it will be considered to be added later. I wouldn't mind waypoints, but it isn't crucial to me I guess.

If you havent looked smart guy, I will point you to the left of this forum where it says three things. First it says "galactic forum", next it says GC strategies, finally it says GC Mods.

If you enjoy running through 20+ screens each turn when it isnt needed with a good UI then FINE. I dont care.

You can check the fanboy attitude at the door though. I love this game though Im no fool. It could be improved greatly.

Suggestion THREAD is what I meant, which is stickied near the top.

Fanboy attitude? *lmao* Don't waste your breath blathering cute 'net slang at me, I've gamed and been online for 18+ years. I'm a fan of this game, but I'm well aware that it can be improved.. all games can, and especially those in this genre. I was being POLITE.. since it is more likely your suggestion will be NOTICED on a STICKIED thread.. capiche'? I myself have posted a few suggestions on that thread.. so obviously I don't think this game is perfect, it can (and will) be made better.

Drop your shields a bit.. I wasn't trying to be a smarta$$, I was trying to help.

Vedric, I think the fox means the stickied Suggestions thread at the top of the general forum. Seems that Brad is checking that very frequently and by putting it there it is less likely that your suggestion will go by and get missed as it is part of a sticky. Erf.

Oop, the fox beat me to it. Erf.

Chill out pal, all he said was that waypoints arent crucial to HIM, noone said the game was perfect or that there is no room for improvement.

Btw, although there you are right about there not being a suggestions forum, there IS a sticky suggestions post that the devs are reading, so you might want to put all future ideas in there to save space.

Thread wasnt about suggestions guys. Read the topic...

Age of Contructors, anyone that has experience with the game understands this including the devs. The thread doesnt need to be placed in some 400 deep multipurpose dumpster.

The suggestion was "thrown" in later for clarity.

wink, V

I have no idea what constructors and rally points have to do with each other. Maybe you could clarify your point?

I believe it's already been said they're working on an option to have ships "launch" when built instead of remaining on a planet. Thus a quick scan via the "Find Next" button would take you to newly built ships, instead of clicking on the star system they were built on, finding the ship icon from the stack list, and double-clicking it.

Not quite the same thing as setting rally points... but it's a step in the right direction.
