Suggestion to make it more useful
Published on March 29, 2005 By SEB9 In Bug Reports
I find in some games I am getting the Ship out of Range every turn, but I don't think I have any ships Out of Range. It would be useful if the Dialogue Box also allowed for the Ship that is the reason for the dialogue to be linked and thus be able to become the cursor focus - for example a second button "Go To".

I find that the survey ship in these games is finding lots of Sensor Drones and I find these almost impossible to see and thus locate if I don't have some idea of where to look for them.

Have you tried zooming out to the strategic map? I don't actually know if that makes the sensor drones any clearer but it's worth a try. (And if it doesn't help enough, I guess you have some feedback for Stardock. )

It dosn't help me to zoom out, I don't get an icon representing the sensor drone(s) - too small to have an icon?

We will definatly be assigning Tactical Icons to everything, but right now it just works with certain ships.

Also, the current sensor drone is a temporary model..the final one will be alot more recognizable.

I've gotten that problem, repeatily. It seems to be caused by my Flagship wanting new orders while "too far out". Clicking in my influence zone or hitting "A" would cause that message to stop popping up.

Ok, will give that a go.
