fbs -> List of User Requested Gameplay Changes (8/29/2009 9:19:28 PM)
|
If you have suggestions for gameplay changes, add them here, and I'll try to keep a summary list on this first post. Discuss them freely. One change being listed here just means that someone asked for it -- doesn't mean it will be implemented, or it is good or bad, or that many people agree with that anyway: that is up to your discussions. If I list something wrong, just stress down in the thread how it should list.
So, please add down your requests! Thanks [:D]
fbs
PS: Red color means a developer answered it is unfeasible for WITP-AE.
-----
Out of scope: database changes ("make Zeros this or that", "change LCU to that", "that ship class is wrong", etc...)
Out of scope: tune up/down combat/detection, increase/decrease production/replacements/training, etc.. {tuning is eternal discussion}

GENERAL______________________________________________________________________________

Discussion Thread
GEN-2: Don't allow formation of Task Forces or Air Groups changes by Allies on Non-historic first turn with Dec 7 Surprise enabled[CraigDeaton]
GEN-3: Add FOW for enemy forces for surface combat & air combat animations: hide the ship art until it is spotted, use wrong art, use wrong names. [jolly_pillager]

PS: Tracker-AE will do this
GEN-6: Separate Sightings into a different delay timer from General Text [myros]
GEN-7: Revamp the SigInt report: remove useless info (like "Transmissions detected from base xx"), add useful info (like "TF xx with ships aa,bb,cc moving to yy"), perhaps with a cost of PP to obtain better intelligence [Hokum & Pascal]
GEN-8: When you filter/sort the list of ship/air group/LCU and then open one entry, the "Next/Previous" buttons of that ship/air group/LCU go to the next/previous unit on the current TF or base. Change it so these buttons follow the filter/sort order of the list.
NAVAL______________________________________________________________________________

NAV-8: Add a counter to surface ships and air groups listing how many aircrafts were shot down and how many ships they sunk [fbs]
NAV-9: On the ship sunk screen, list the ship/air group name that sunk the ship [fbs]
NAV-10: Add a ship class description to the ship screen [crsutton]

NAV-15: If the ship is located in a port, then don't let it get above 99 of floating, fire or engine damage - unless it fails a check for catastrophic explosion, and then it is actually sunk. This simulates the fact that the ships at harbors settle at the bottom and can be salvaged (although with a lot of major damage) [fbs]
