1. Shiplimit for private gaming

   For small games with less than 11 players and less than 500 planets it is crucial to have the option to reduce the shiplimit. A parameter in the hosting interface would be very nice. Number of allowed ships 20-500.

2. Add a 12th section to the Leaderboard for "Diverse Commander"

   Why not recognize players (like myself) that enjoy playing ALL races. As the Leaderboard is set up right now, a player must focus on ONE race only if they hope to make it to the top 10, or "Hall of Fame". I would argue that the best players have played ALL eleven races, learned their strengths, weaknesses, and tactics. By rewarding Diverse Commanders" NU might see new games find Empire and Bird leaders more quickly. As for how this 12th leader might fit into a Championship Game, why not rotate this player in? Invites could go out to the top 11 commanders and if one declines, the Diverse Commander could step in.

4. Allow games where the player selects their race to NOT have Horwasp.

   Allow gameser selects their race to NOT have Horwasp

   Currently, if a game allows players to select their race, they may select the Horwasp, even though the Horwasp are only in Alpha. There should be a game creation flag to not allow the player to select Horwasp. This should default to not allowing the Horwasp.

5. Show Realistic Game Results in Profiles

   I suggest a player who starts a game and resigns during the first 10 turns should have that game result shown as:

   Adviel Sector
   STATUS : Resigned (in red letters) turn 9.
   Placed: 11th

   If a player starts a game and resigns before turn 40:

   Adviel Sector
   STATUS: Resigned (in Amber) Turn 37
   Finished: 8th (or appropriate place behind all remaining players)

   And if a player resigns after turn 40 give their finishing position as reward for hanging in and giving it a fair try:

   Adviel Sector
   STATUS: Resigned (in Green) Turn 44
   Finished: 3rd (actual position at time of resignation)

   A player should be allowed to accept defeat when it's obvious, and resign recognition of what they were able to accomplish over the 40+ turns that took 3 or more months.

6. Fix fighter bays not launching due to VCR Random Number List

   Please implement the possible fix described in detail by Joshua in the third post on this page:

   http://planets.nu/discussion/fighters-not-launching-after-first-wave

   partial quote: "we could simply add another 1000 values or whatever to the 119 to make this all much more smooth and prevent this kind of weird thing. So we could certainly "fix" it."

   Given the rather common adverse affect this has on low-bay carriers, I would like to see this change implemented.

7. Set Waypoints

   Allow you to preplan a ship's movement several turns in advance by using waypoints. The ship would only move this turn up to the first waypoint but if I don't change the ships move orders it would move to the second waypoint the next turn.

   This could be implemented by using the shift key. If I click shift and somewhere on the map that is a first waypoint, and if I click shift and a second place on the map that is a second waypoint, etc. Clicking anywhere on the map without using the shift key sets a new 1-turn course that deletes previous waypoints.

8. I'd like to see the ability to convert supplies to credits while on the ship build screen at stardock.

   Right now when we're building ships, it often results in jumping back to the planet trade window or other screen where we can convert supplies to credits to pay for construction. Why not have that on the same page?

9. BUG:Ended games and time machine

   When you review a ended games in some turns it's impossible to access the ship missions, the warp speed and the cargo from some ships. Something similar happens with the planets. Planets where you know that it has natives doesn't show them when you get inside the planet but it does show them in the info screen that pops up when you put the mouse over it.

   You can review it by yourself in the following game:

   http://planets.nu/games/5612

   Enter the crystal player and visit the planet 164#Omicron 2 Erdani in the last turn. You'll see that there are around 10 million insectoid Unity natives but if you use the time machine and review the same planet at the turn 9 you'll see that you can't see any native, but the info screen shows that there are 7million insectoid natives.

   The same with the planets 190 and 430.

   You can see too that you can't see the transfer screen, the mission screen and the cargo info for all the ships in the same turn.

   Time machine become unworthy if you can review all the info.

10. Minor terminology issue in help pages...

    http://planets.nu/#/howtoplay/ion-storms has a link reference to "Cloudy Ion Disturbances" (http://planets.nu/#/howtoplay/stellar-cartography). The linked page says nothing about Cloudy Ion Disturbances but contains information on "Complex Ion Storms" which appear to have a similar description. Someone should figure out what it should be called and make the pages match. Would also be nice if the ion-storms page mentioned that voltage can increase/decrease 0-10MeV depending on if the ion storm is growing or shrinking, instead of relying on a (well written) third party page.

    Thanks for a great game.

    Back to the Planets roots and for the Player who not want jump deep into the game of words (diplomacy) to conquer only with multi race tech. Real 0 ally games was even a long time state of the art in Planets. There are much more reasons to ask why this option is not already available since the Planets nu start! :)

12. RESIGN button should have a CONFIRM Y/N option - better again, TWO!

    It's too easy to be RESIGNED from a game with just a single click - especially when you are using a small tablet or a smartphone to check out your turn. Resigning looses ALL CAMPAIGN POINTS, even if you DO JOIN BACK IMMEDIATELY! :(

    When clicking RESIGN, a "are you sure?" should appear, then maybe a 2nd one "REALLY SURE? YOU WILL LOOSE ALL HISTORICAL POINTS!".

13. Implement the "add fighters" button

    While orbiting a starbase, similar to the "build torpedo" button that exists for torpedo races. it would add fighters (provided the minerals and credits exist on surface)

    this would bring fighter races up to speed and reduce the monotony and repetitive "build fighter" from starbase option

    currently the only way is "add 60 figher, transfer 60 fighter, add 60 fighter, transfer 60 fighter, add 60 fighter, transfer 60 fighter"

    while this "works" it cant be working as intended

    when one is playing a carrier race, and just for example: the borg perhaps building 20+++ biocide per game (just example, we know 20 is not a large number)
    this makes for a LOT of "add 60 figher, transfer 60 fighter". something about this process just feels unfinished.

    this idea surfaced on the general chat feed today (june 29) and received a lot of positive feedback from senior members. lets add a "add figher" button to ships. or something.

    thanks for your time :)

15. Bug: Tow Immunity by abusing the intercept mission

    This bug / design flaw allows you to break the tow-lock of any ship (except of grav ships) without even moving. This basically gives you a tow immunity.

    Siggi described how to do it:
    "You can set your mission to intercept a ship in the same spot. Then set your waypoint 90 ly away.
    It would seem this satisfies the long waypoint since when tow lock is calculated your waypoint seems to be 90ly. Then when intercept movement comes your waypoint gets reset to the other ship which is at your same location."

    See this thread:
    http://play.planets.nu/#/activity/1756306

    As this is against the designer's intention to allow races to tow-and-kill ships (which is especially vital for cloaker races), it should be rated as bug - critical bug.

16. New game interest dynamic update

    idea by Ecatoncheires:

    'interest' pre-games list should be (re)ordered dynamically according to the number of players interested.

    This compounds the 'like' effect, that is, the games with most interest will float to the top of the list, gain more visibility, and be started faster.

17. correct the mission interface for mine and web mine laying when playing Crystals

    Playing as the Crystals, when you get to the missions menu, you are presented with the '10 20 30 ... quarter half all' mine FC options twice in the lay mines mission, but not at all in the 'Lay web mines mission'

    This means that you need to select the 'lay web mines' mission and adjust the FC manually, or select the '10 20 30 ... quarter half all' option in the normal 'lay mines' mission, and then change the mission to 'lay web mines'

    It does not affect the functionality, but does make the interface a bit more awkward to use.

    Could the second set of options be moved to the 'lay web mines' mission.

18. Edit button for activity feed

    Many have mentioned in the discussion feed how nice it would be to have an edit-button. Many have posted a message and then realised there are silly typos or idea clitches (like this thread http://play.planets.nu/#/activity/1718017 ) or for some reason multiple postings of the same message.

    There is no reason these messages should be indestructible. Could there be an edit-button?

    Or if editing old messages is seen as problematic, could there at least be a remorse-button so you could modify or delete your messages, if you do it in 15 minutes after you have posted your message? I think this should cover most of the times we would love to see an edit button there.

19. When a player is dropped due to missing turns, they should receive a Tenacity penalty

    Currently, it appears that players who are dropped from a game for missing three consecutive turns do NOT receive a Tenacity penalty. This information was derived from the History tab for several players.

    The Drop penalty should apply to all games that contribute to the Achievement score. It should be AT LEAST as large as the Resignation penalty. There should be no exemptions.

    If a player wants out of a game, a Resignation will cause less impact on the game overall, and only takes a few seconds. IMHO player who has so little consideration that they'll just walk away without taking those few seconds deserves a penalty.

20. Change the way the higher ranks are awarded on the Leaderboard.

    (Reposted from site Feed)

    I believe that a change in requirements for promotion is essential.

    Look, we've had competitors in the various Wars who have never actually won a game. We've got Fleet Admirals who haven't ever played anything that's not a Melee.

    I suggest that flag-rank promotions require, in addition to Experience and Achievement, a certain number of game wins (top 2 in Diplomatic Planets) -- one for Commodore, more for any Admiral. And to make Commodore (which is base eligibility for a championship) should require more than a Beginner win, so we should adapt for that as well.

    As such, I'd suggest:
    - Commodore: 1 win, first, second or third place score, in a rated non-beginner game with Diplomatic Planets. (This takes care of team games as well.)
    - Rear Admiral: 2 qualifying game wins
    - Vice Admiral: 4 qualifying game wins
    - Admiral: 6 qualifying game wins in at least two different game formats, at least one of which is a first-place finish
    - Admiral Of The Fleet: The flag officer with the highest number of qualifying game wins; in event of tie, the previous holder of the office of Fleet Admiral will hold it by right of seniority. AotF is the nominal next War candidate. It would introduce complexity to make it possible for a player to decline this rank, but considering the respect due the position, that should be a possibility.

    Look, we need a simple system of recognition so people can understand who has and who has not earned the right to issue an informed opinion about the game. Anyone at all can write a reasonable-sounding post, but if an Admiral speaks, we should want to listen.

    We believe the award requirements for promotions have essentially addressed this suggestion, so closing.
