Some notes from recent testing (now that I have finally setup my computer after moving.) So far no crashes. (:
Combat UI:
- Show numerical remaining/total on ammunition bars
- Pause at the start of combat to set orientation and launch initial countermeasures. Even though we are closing at kilometers a second we know when we are going to close. Having to rush to find the right ship and then the right subsystem is an annoying artificial restriction.
- Movement order to maintain orientation relative to other ship (useful for large non-gimbaled "keel" guns), even better would be setting a priority weapon and have the ship try and keep that in the arc of fire.
Maneuvering UI:
- Add option to release burn node (tangential, radial, out of plane) on mouse up event (none of the other UI components require a second click to disengage.)
- Tell us what enemy fleet evaded which of our fleet, add option to attempt to auto-correct.
- Have a list of intercepts and time until (top right?), optionally a list of broken intercepts since the last turn was run.
- List of fleets so we don't have to hunt through a stack of them (bottom left?)
- Allow node adjustment even when the mouse hits the edge of the screen
General questions:
- Does maneuvering in combat change the orbit out of combat?
