Misc suggestions

Post by Robertjciv »

Can we get an alarm or have a planner for when to send a outpost to minimize boost cost and travel times?

Refueling should be a thing. The air force can refuel even in atmosphere. Refueling in space should be orders of magnitude easier as there is no air current. Can we get a refueling module and a slow big refueling chassis with dedicated fuel tanks? Also would make a sweet target to pick off. Or a liability in combat for main fleets. Also, give us a button to refuel with boost at very high costs. It could be part of a technology or a new one. It makes no sense that refueling doesn’t exist at all except at space stations.

Inter-fleet refueling (re-remassing?) is something we're working on and hope to have soon. With all the different propellant types and precise mass and DV tracking, it's not trivial to implement and will be even longer before we can write AI to navigate the rules.

Emergency propellant deliveries via boost we've sketched out. It's a bit complicated figuring out whether we want a bunch of fiddly UI so you can say exactly how much you want, or set a certain tonnage or DV and say you just get that.

Just added an alert system UI for enemy fleets; will look at adding one for space body ideal positions, too.
