Is it possible to highlight all of my freighters carrying a certain commodity (i.e. caslon)? You know, like what happens when you have a base selected, all the freighters heading there turn red.




Ralzakark -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/10/2014 7:36:50 PM)

Short answer - No.




joeyeti -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/10/2014 7:48:15 PM)

Long answer: No.




Emetivore -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/10/2014 7:56:35 PM)

Ha! Well, drat.

That seems like it would be a nice feature for a future patch.




Cauldyth -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/10/2014 8:25:00 PM)

I second that, it would be very handy.




Darknote -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/10/2014 10:08:54 PM)

I third that!

how would this do anything other than show where the freighters are? it wont speed the transport up, there is already a in-transit tab in the expansion planner. this imo is not needed.

I think that is exactly what he wants to do. Keep track of various commodities on freighters so he can see where they go or come in from. If I was short on a resource I'd like the option to track that particular resource on my freighters as well. Basically get a feel of where that source is coming in from or going off to. Like the idea,just don't know how to implement it as desired.

I think you could highlight or color all freighters of a certain type:small,medium or large.but not by what they are hauling. You'd add a color to that particular races small,medium or large type of freighter.

The "in transit" number in the expansion planner could be made into a clickable link, which closes the window and highlights the relevant freighters.





Cauldyth -> RE: highlighting caslon freighters (6/13/2014 1:42:00 AM)

That seems like a reasonable approach. To simplify it further, the need for a new "highlight" mode could be eliminated by having it so that clicking that link could just select all the relevant freighters as a means of highlighting them.
