Stuff that would be nice to see in Universe, please add your comments.

[request/bug] Fleets not set to auto need to stop acting as if auto is on, this is beyond annoying I really want to be able to tell a fleet/ships to do nothing and not have them run and get themselves killed when their auto is off and my attention is elsewhere.

[request] Fleet formations.

[bug]All stations but spaceports should require at least one cargo, for instance research stations, without the cargo they get in a perpetual fuel need and can't retrofit

[request/bug] Exploration ships on manual set to explore a system should explore all asteroids or a new option should be added "explore system and asteroids", why auto does this and manual doesn't is strange.

[request} when clicking on a star/black hole/gas point it should tell you the % explored and if there are any space creatures from you last view of the system

[modding] Put a viewer in the game off the main menu where you can see shipsets, add the ability on game setup to select a shipset for yourself and opponents.

[gameplay] make exploration a little more star treky, make exploration ships require alot more components (science stations, etc), and give them a procedural encounter table so interesting stuff is always happening as you explore, these ships could also ferry agents, like escorting a diplomat

[DLC] contract an artist, finish up fleshing out the pictures for each of the races agents, well pay for it

Don't worry, they won't give you any information or feedback because evidently Universe is super top secret until a week before launch.

While I can see your point they do add flavour to the game as you can design small fuel gas mining stations or large planet ones such as star wars Bespin. It really doesn't take away that much time adding a single item to a design otherwise why bother having variety in other aspects when you could just have a one does all component type.

As frustrating as the civilian miners can be they are part of the entire state/civilian design of the game, if we have a state miner why not a state freighter too?

quote:

You already can for planets/ships/bases, if I recall correctly there is a rename button in your property window. Or it could be that you simply click on the item in questions name then type a new one. You can rename systems but only in the game editor mode so it would be nice if it was extended to just include the standard playing mode.

This again I think falls into design ethos, the lore I believe states humans came from Earth long ago, and so if you play humans you are really a long lost colony etc. You can find an independent human group on a Sol system. However I do agree you should have some form of starting option whereby you could play without the storylines and have a set of official homeworld systems to play from.

While I like this concept I think it would make DW a horrible micromess, all characters already spend time to travel to locations, I guess this is simulating them boarding various civilian ships etc. Now for a spy to travel aboard one of your own ships to an enemy location to steal stuff you have to question the logic involved. Your ship would just get shot down instead. Unless you then have to have a whole new branch of ships that fly undercover missions etc, this is where you could open up a huge micromanagement issue. All characters could do with some form of expansion but I think it best if that went in the guise of extra ways to use them and a variety of outcomes and consequences rather than an increase in the mechanics of their implementation.

you cannot change the names of moons. This makes the display in the expansion planner very frustrating as moons don't list with the planets in the same solar system. ARRGGG

I can't figure out how to change the name of anything. What's the secret?

Sorry to necro post, but a follow-up question: I can rename ships and bases, but I'm still not able to rename planets or moons or systems. Can any of these be renamed in-game? Or must one use the editor?

Does the Game Editor ever lift the "fog of war" or can you edit what you can currently see?

The biggest request for me in this game would be to add a check box in the options much like there is for "Automate newly constructed ships", but the other one would be for "Automate newly 'ACQUIRED' ships".

Playing as a pirate in this game is impossible for me because of this missing "feature". If you acquire a construction ship as a pirate, which you will all the time, and you miss it because you are doing micro on other aspects of the game... you are screwed because that construction ship(s) is building large space ports all over the map (among other things).
