[FeatureRequest/QoL] Few ideas which could help managing imperium

Post by kvacm »

Hey, first I wanna say thank you for new Diplomacy update, it's amazing!

Because we're in new beta, I finally decided to come up with some ideas I have and which could help me and probably many others to manage their imperium.

1. An option to ditch resoursec from own stations, or at least from PHQ.
What I mean is when I do terraforming missions, some projects are very much space demanding for resources, or when I want to change the factory chain, I often need to make a space for different stuff I currently have and don't want anymore.
The best ways how to clean the storages are: destroy and build again - takes a lot of time, sell to others - takes time, or load it to ships ans ditch it later - which is annoying and you need free ships. So since we can ditch cargo into space from our ships, why not from space stations? Or at least for our PHQ?

2. Blueprints for ships
We currently have ability to save equipment when making plans for ships, such as weapons, engines, shields, etc. - Minimal, Medium, Maximum, and custom. But when we want custom names for ship; for example: "Big Water Trader"; we have to write it again everytime when building them, or name them separately from ship list.
What I'm asking is have ability to create our own ship blueprints, where we can change not only the equipment, but also the model (Teladi Vulture, Argon Mercury, Boron Thresher, etc.) and add names.
Something like blueprints we have in factory builder, chose ships model, the equipment, name and save it. Then build ships from the list in one click (Baldric, Boa, "Big Water Trader",...). And add special icon for easier search or pin them to top with colored text.

3. Ability to chose which ships can be sold in Wharf/Shipyard
I'm asking for having an option to chose which ships the concrete Wharf/Shipyard will build. I mean race specific - TEL, ARG, SPL, TER... someting like a tick/check fields for every race. Or at least for TER and Commonwealth like we have for drones on space stations.
What I'm aiming for is that when we have blueprint for all ships, it's total huge chaos list when searching the ship I want to build. Or when we have Terran and Commonwealth blueprints, the Warf/Shipyard will automatically add space for Teran resources even I don't want to build them on that factory, or vice versa. Yes, I can limit recources to 1, but they're still there. I would like to have at least a tick/check field like we have similar for drones on space station (Terran, normal).

4. Race icon in ship list
As I wrote above, when we have many blueprints or all of them, it's hard to navigate and remember all race specific ships. So what I suggest is to have a race icon next to the name of the model (Alligator "SPL", Cormorant Vanguard "TEL", etc), like we see in station builder next to modules.

Some suggestions for future updates:
Building superhighways. Or at least more scripted events as we have with Boron superhighway in Sanctuary of Darkness.
Battleships for other races.
Of course more Terraforming projects.
Have an option to build a Pirate station (the one with special icon).
Able to build Teladi trading station modules (the one wish huge ring).


Thank you for your time and for this incredibly amazing game! I hope I wrote it in the right place, couldn't find a place for our ideas. Also sorry if I write it hard to understand, sometimes I write like an idiot, lol. And if any suggestions are in working progress or were asked for many times, I'm sorry too! Thanks!
