Survey Options

from GalCiv3 Forums

It would be really nice if you could have a setting for Surveying.

 

It should be fairly easily, you load the different types of anomalies at run time and build a checklist window. Then when ships survey the scout for the ones that are checked and ignore the others.

Nothing is worse than having multiple surveyor's  (one with weapons and ones without) and have them go up against Ship graveyard (without weapons)...

Or maybe yet a better solution would be when you bring up the popup for engage (ship graveyard) you show the survey ship stats and the number of ships protecting it so we can get a better idea before we commit. (note this is the popup before the battle popup).

This is a good idea. It solves how useless the autosurvey option for survey ships is. As it is now it requires extreme micromanagement of survey ships to get around.

I agree that we need auto survey options.

I find that they do avoid anything with ships at them, like ship graveyards, but I would like them to avoid wormholes. Nothing worse then getting all your ships flung to the other side of an insane map and not have them do anything beyond slowly working their way back for the next 3 billion turns!

Yes they avoid ship graveyards when on auto survey. I hate the wormholes, but I take it as a trade off for not having to micro-manage.
