Interface Change Request

Submitted by gsol69 on Tue, 2007-10-23 16:26. Space Empires V General

Any chance on changing the interface so that the 2 dimensional system view centers on the active ship/fleet instead of having to locate it in the system display? It really takes away from my enjoyment of the game, having to locate my ship in a given system when jumping from fleet to fleet or ship to ship.. I check back every so often to see if this enhancement has been implemented yet, and hope to find it has been one of these days. Thanks.

lol good luck with that
of all the stuff to complain about
if that ruins the game for you then you should just not play 4x games anymore.

I have to agree with gsol69. The current system view is annoying as hell !

True there are a lot bigger issues at hand but this one should not be ignored...

Hmm... I'd have thought there'd be a way to edit the "you are looking here" cursor (which does focus to the correct ship when you switch between them) from Settings.txt but not sure if there is. Ah well, it's something that could be brought up.

I would like to see a change to how the camera works.
Something like other games have, use the mouse or arror keys to move the viw, something like +/- or Page Up/Page Down or hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse up/down to zoom in and out, maybe hold down the middle mouse button or hold down some other key to use the mouse to change the camera angle and rotate the camera.
Give a lot more freedom and mobility to move the camera around.

As is, it's annoying to only be able to rotate the camera view and simply 'zooming in' that also changes the camera angle.

I have been playing 4X games for years, and can not think of even one title that doesn't center the screen around the active unit when jumping to the next unit / fleet. I play these games to enjoy myself, and don't think I should have to work to locate my active piece by scanning the 2D screen view. I want to spend my time strategizing, not locating my units. Thanks for any supportive comments to possibly get this some attention.

What would help is if the highlight hex blinked or "pinged" (like you can "ping" a location in many RTS's) for a moment...
