Suggestions

Page for common suggestions.

Please pay attention to the recommended raterid for each subsection. Only new suggestions need to take account of this. All existing suggestions should keep their numbers not to lose votes.

Let's try and keep them in groups, Feel free to create a group.

If the proposer for a particular suggestion creates the entry, then all others can add 1 to the “for” or “against” column to indicate support or disagreement. Discussion can be back on the forum. Your vote is not secret, since the edit history of the wiki will reveal who altered what column.

There are also preview images for units. Feel free to add your opinion.

Ship Construction Suggestions

Suggestion

Custom Ship Design and sharing http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=18090.msg127909#msg127909 Cavemaniac {(rater>id=61 headline=offtype=vote)}
Command node slot limits, tech progression tree (two, actually), and campaign fleet preservation ideas in the suggestion thread Michionlion {(rater>id=62headline=offtype=vote)}
The player gets a mass limit per map and how he uses it will up to them. Pickups can increase that limit. Some upgrades can lower the mass of a hull decreasing it's durability, or maybe some weapons that become lighter but will increase the energy cost of firing it. It could be made all in a CW3 Forge like building that you can place on a PZ instead of a Energy Mine. Ofc the mass would also make the ships move at different speeds and attract particles more.

Ship hulls (and default loadout) are only changed in the editor. In-game you can replace modules to better fit your style, but you can't change their location on the hull. forum link J{(rater>id=2001headline=offtype=vote)}

Friendly Units

Smarter turn angles so units keep their main engines on during route changes. Ideally I'd like to see indications of when the turns would be under full power. Karsten {(rater>id=23headline=offtype=vote)}

(mission heap selection screen) Drop the top and bottom quarters before calculating the average rating. Should give more fair ratings (like the median time does). http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=20445.msg142355#msg142355 J {(rater>id=5001 headline=offtype=vote)}
