My idea for the primary feature of SE6 or future SE5 updates (rehashed)

Submitted by glockgemini on Tue, 2008-06-24 23:44. Space Empires V General

My primary gripe of the design of SE5 (besides the AI) is the system function layouts (or lack of them). Just like most of the iconized Empire sections like Worlds, Colonies, Ships, Build Queues have a custom layout feature (which is very cool), the system views need some way to customize the layout.

It would be fantastic to have a system facility view where I could see all the facilities that exist in a system and that are also in the build queues. I currently have to use an excel printout with all the special facilities for each system I am managing, just to keep them straight and not forget to put a system wide facility in each system.

It would be great to be able to access build queues from this view and be able to dismantle unneeded queues from this view.

There are several other custom views to add to the game to eliminate window shuffling.

Actually you CAN customize the "my colonies" thing to do that. ^_^ Sticking out tongue

There are monitors to view all buildings on planets (if you want by systems, just sort by name) and queues

Missed the point.

I understand what I can do in the empire views but there is no reason not to have a system view that is not so crowded, allowing for expanded views with both built facilities and those in queue for easier system management. And we don't have the ability to scrap a facility or put a facility in queue. I gotta close the window and open 2-3 other windows to do anything and I have memorize which planet queue I want to put each particular facility in. I'd like to be able to look at the list say "Oh, I have two system mineral scanners in this system, let me scrap one and build the system eco farm I am missing." Right-click 'Scrap Facility' OK, Right=click "add facility to queue" select the facility from the list, OK. Done. I don't need to remind anybody what steps we have to go through to do those simple functions now.

I mentioned that the empire windows could be customized and enjoyed that feature so I must be aware the it can be done.
