Star bases on galxy map

Post by Cumberlow »

As the title says would it be possible to show built star bases / troops on the galaxy map so players can see at a glance the nearest resupply for colonizers and troop ships?

Also, will star bases have orders that they can be given in the future? If not can they be removed from the fleet menu as late game you end up with a page and a half full with a couple of fleets at the bottom after scrolling.

I like the idea of adding more info on the galaxy map with a legend filter. Will add it to the wishlist bucket for later on.

It would be possible to give orders to star bases, they are no different than ships in that sense. A good reason to have it in the fleet list is to show their maintenance cost and other info you might want to look at. Would adding a vertical scroll bar help with the scrolling issue?

Mouse wheel scroll works ok for me but wouldn't hurt to add a scroll bar.

Perhaps if ships/fleets were listed first and star bases last (as ship orders are more frequently accessed) then that would easily address this issue in the late game.

You can do that now by clicking on the name title of the fleet and it will sort (top bars). You can also sort the order with the other title button bars on the top.

What would help mostly is a FILTER key so we can filter the bases out.
