I want scouts that you click on a distant planet with "Scout To" orders and it automatically fills in the route based on if planet in +-20 degrees that is unscouted and less than 1 year travel go at colonise warp. Else if planet ...less than 2 year etc
All the way to the final planet - and while I am wishing - to draw a red line from the point it runs out of fuel and a red/blue line on any fuel expensive jumps (say over 2 warps above normal speed)

Thats the kind of AI I want - less MM but me still in charge.


Sounds good. I've been meaning for a long time to at least try creating optimal scout routes out of nil. Not exactly easy, tho, even if you don't have penscanning. Evil or Very Mad

Could you explain a little bit more about these conditions of yours? Why 20 degrees? Any others? Sherlock

Also I want to set 2 waypoint orders (pop/min balancing), one when the ship arrives, and another before it leaves.
I do admit I need a master class in waypoints as others seem to automate far more than I can.


It would depend on what you want to accomplish. Please give some more details. Rolling Eyes

Oh and a sort by "destructive force" tab on fleets view. So I can swiftly see what fleets I should be worried about. (sort by weight isnt really good enough).


That would need extracting the fleet details from the m file. I've been petitioning for those, too. Wink

See I really dont want an AI to do things for me - just tell me what I need quickly, and remove some of the "make work" clicks.


That's what I want to accomplish with my "assistants". Smile

Oh and a sweep minefields within Xly order, with a sub order saying - if damaged leave it to other ships at you location with same orders unless you are the least damaged in which case do it but send me a message saying you are about to do it.


Hhmm. Tricky, that. Sweeping is more of an art than a science. Everybody has his/her own particular way to do it, even when no skirmishing is taken into account. Twisted Evil

Oh Oh and a big shiny thing, to stick on the wall Laughing


Pls ask someone in the eyecandy department. Here is mostly math and reams of bitpacked ship orders. Razz



So many Stars, so few Missiles!

In space no one can hear you scheme! Deal
