Requests & Suggestions
Seamless planetary flight
The obligatory suggestion. Not much to add to the header.
FIXME There are alot of existing threads in the forum, but i didn't bother yet to search for them all.
Configuration interface
An configuration interface accessable from within the game (and thus platform independant as well).
What one should be able to configure:
- Key bindings (by PRESSIING them, not writing something code-like)
- Joystick and mouse configuration
- Basic graphic settings
- ....
Trajectory Indicator
Some kind of hud lines or something that would tell me which direction I'm travelling would be good. It could be something as simple as a box or a cross or something that shows the direction my ship is travelling in. I don't expect gravity plays much of a role in bending trajectories (or that the planets move around the star, for that matter) but adding a little "reality physics" like using gravity as a slingshot, etc. might be kind of fun too.
Cargo/ship/upgrade/weapon compare screen
As the title already states a screen where it is possible to compare the various items.
Maybe having the seperations cargos, ships, upgrades, weapons as they all have theri special attributes and more important infos.
Station Library
A Station library / encyclipedia would provide a useful repository for background documents written by jackS and others, as well as providing a logical place to access the Map-screen. History articles and Race/Faction descriptions could be avaliable from the library.
Map-screen: Access from inside a station library
It would be great to have a starmap you could consult while at a station. That way, you could make intelligent choices about hauling cargo. Having this accessable from a Station Library would be the way to go.
Map-screen: Show dockable targets and factions
It would be useful for the map screen to show you what dockable planets and stations are present and what faction is in control in the system you have selected.
Economic index
It would also be nice if there was some kind of economic index, so you could tell what the buying and selling prices are for a given commodity. That way, when you are on a base that seems to have a lot of seafood, you can tell whether or not you're being ripped off.
