GalCiv III - the idle Shipyard... When? And some other things I would like to see changed.

from Stardock Forums

Hello,

I have been playing GalCiv from the very beginning and never had anyhing that I found unplayable.

Now there is one thing I realy do not like. Namely the behaviour of the Shipyards.

1. I always have to queue something or shut it down. When in shutdown state my starbase that requests a constructor and is right next to it triggers the Shipyard that is up and running 65 tiles away. I would rather have the Shipyard go to idle state activating when needed.

some other things;

2. Make the tabs Colonies-Ships-Starbases-etc.. configurable so we can choose what to see. For instance I would like a tab Shipyards there and for instance the tab rally points I do not use at all. Neither do I ever look at notifications.

 

3. Make rally points in space. I like to form fleets at my borders and my warships now first have to go to starbases where they get lost in my defenders present there.

4. I had an issue when requesting to many constructors from a shipyard crashing the game (tested this sevral times).

 

that's all for now. I realy like the game in spite of the things mentioned above (except for the shipyard).

3. I'm a little confused when you want to create rally points in space when you just said you don't need or use rally points at all. If you go to the rally points tab, you can create rally points wherever you'd like. You can even move the points if you'd like to shift them somewhere else.

5. Let us exit the shipyard using escape!

I edited my text so it is a bit better to read. Thanks for your remark.

Something else with the shipyard that would be cool. After being shutdown, and hence that shipyards sponsors focus having been switched elsewhere, it would be real handy that you could easily refocus those sponsors back to military spending without having to go through each of them again.
Its rather tedious.
