As I see it, tLF has 3 major issues.
- Lack of available information about the solar system
- Player actions have little impact
- Race AI is too limited
The current planetary information screen has lots of information, but it doesn't have anything about growth or effects and it is pretty hard to parse.
Here is my mockup of how we can address the information shortage in regards to planetary information.
Roll-over text adding information about actual numbers and well as how things are calculated would also need to be added.
For example, if you move your cursor to the Uranium section, it would state something like:
Uranium Income Breakdown
Trade to Peltians -500
Mine income +250
Moon income + 300
Total Income +50
It's not perfect, but it does give a starting point. (Looking at it right now, I want to put parenthesis around the trade income, but I also want to finish editing the picture).
