| Summary | 0024535: Flagship Health Monitoring | ||||
| Description | Pursuant to a discussion involving a number of players on discord, one of the concerns about the new flagship crippling is that it's hard to monitor their health in battle. I like the new settings naturally, but I think this is a very good and salient point. I would suggest having off to the right above the standing orders, where the fleet selection is currently (or somewhere better if there is a good idea), a toggleable monitor of any flagships on the current planet. Not the fleet status showing selection strength, how many ships are active, but the flagships themselves. That way there's a clear visual indicator that something is amiss if they start getting hammered, and the player can take action. I also welcome further discussion on this concept. | ||||

Yes, this. I really love the new change which makes taking care of flagships a thing again.. having more tools to do so sounds wonderful. |

Thanks! ==== Local Fleets On Planet Sidebar Tab ==== * The fleets sidebar no longer has a top section, with blue colors, noting fleets that are on the current planet. ** This has always been something that a lot of people find confusing, even though it was organizationally handy. But the confusion of this, mainly with it being on the fleet sidebar, was just too much. We can do this a better way. * On the planets sidebar, you can now see the fleets that are at the local planet, listed by default under all the other ships. ** The tooltips and controls on these buttons, and most of the button visuals, are identical to what you see on the fleets tab. ** The main difference is that instead of showing the planet name of the fleet, it shows either blank space (when all is well) or the shield bar if the flagship of the fleet has taken shield damage, or the health bar if the flagship has taken damage. * When the flagship of a fleet is crippled, it now shows up with the words CRIPPLED in orange on both the fleets tab sidebar and the planets sidebar. ** This makes it super obvious when that's actually going on. * All of the fleet management subscreens can now be open on either the fleets or planets tabs. Since you can now open them on the planet tab, this saves a lot of effort in terms of clicking over to the fleets tab, particularly when upgrading fleets that happen to be on the current planet. * On the planet sidebar, you can now see the strength of fleets like you can on the fleets tab. However, it's shown by the overall fleet health meter (both of these get replaced by the crippled notice if the flagship is crippled. * Also on the planet sidebar, if you hold shift you will notice that the ship cap numbers get replace with the colored name of the planet the flagship is on. ** This is less crucial information, but having it in easy toggle range is nice. * On both the fleet tab and planet tab, if a fleet is in transport mode, it now has a little cyan (T) behind its name. ==== Watched Fleets ==== * Added a new Fleet Watchlist feature in the fleet management details window: ** Normally on the planet sidebar, you can see a list of all the fleets you have on that planet, including the health of the flagship. There are times where you want to keep an eye on a fleet at all times, even when it's on other planets, though. The fleet watchlist allows you to monitor specific fleets on the planet tab of the sidebar regardless of where you go. ** If a fleet would show up on the watchlist AND the local planet fleet list, it just shows up on the local planet list, since that's more informative. * if a watched fleet is on the current planet, and the current planet local fleets are shown and open, then it doesn't double-show the fleet in both. It just includes the fleet on the local planet list (but keeps the count of fleets correct in both categories). |
