2 interface suggestions (or I'm missing something big!)
« on: July 10, 2013, 01:52:48 am »
There are several things that bother me slightly in 'interface shortcoming' of AI War (which is an excellent game), but two stand out:

1 - I would like to know what is in my transports. For example list in the tooltip the 3 most numerous ships, like Fighter II (72), Bombard (12), Bomber (30), Others (54).

2 - I really need to know sometime when the 'gun is loaded'. Spire penetrator with a 30 mn count down between each fire stand out quite a bit for that, but even bombards and their 30 seconds delay would benefit from this.

And there are more, like a patrol order per planet (no, the cross planet rally post can't do that by far), limited range FRD, 'escort' order etc.

Nibelung, there is somewhere in the options menu where you can enable bars that show the remaining reload time of each ship.

Ok, got this one, at the bottom left of the settings screen, thanks!

Now for the transport improved tooltip, that would be darn cool.

Hover you mouse over the UNLOAD button in the lower left corner, it'll display the contents of your transport(s).
