Beta 3a - Ship design issues

from GalCiv2 Forums
I found it a bit annoying that the list of ship improvements is listed alphabetically instead of by quality. Put the high quality stuff at the top, sorting alpha only if two things are identical in quality, for example Laser 2 and miniballs 2 are roughly equal in quality but laser 1 and miniballs 2 are not. The point this is most obviously flawed is in engines, where there's really only one path.

Also, how about allowing us to delete or "obsolete" older less effective ship addons. After we have researched laser 2, maybe we want to keep the addon laser 1 around for a while, maybe not.

Both good ideas!

Rather than delete how about a filter on the display where only the most advanced of each component type is visible?

Essentially, I thought that was what the "obsolete" function was, only with greater control. You can tell it which components you no longer want to see. (Of course, there is no way to get it to bring an old component "out of mothball status". Maybe there should be.)

I agree, we will have the listing changed to be based on tech level of the compnent.
