Different Map Shapes
I think the galaxy is shaped oddly like a bunch of cyborg cube ships. Perhaps we can have some other shapes. Like a "L" or an "X", maybe even a "C" or things not even related to the English alphabet like £

training games are not calculating at all for me, it just stays on the same loading game forever, anyone else having this problem?
I don't mean to be an ass, but as man of principal it does not seem just that I am paying for use of a faulty system, I say this because what I stated above has happened to me before and I have not even been with planets for a month yet.

Fleet intel not updated on map
Alkes system
The information from the below message was not updated on the map. I would think that if the fleet reports an enemy, the map should update to reflect it.
From: Fleet Command
FALCON CLASS ESCORT ID#41 has been destroyed by the defense systems on Cani Ceti 1 ID#99 a Cyborg planet under the command of zelrik.(2084, 1915)

rethink cargo transfer for allied cloakers
there is something wrong in the cargo transfer for allied cloakers.
while in the old rst-trn system you could not find allied cloakers on your screen to transfer cargo to, and also could not transfer to ships that were visible and then cloaked away. correct me if i am wrong.
we now have, with the allied rst (so to say) -on the screen- the ship visible and accessible for cargo transfers.
our new system collides there with the original, and i think there is a bug or at least strange behaviour in it: if the ship is cloaked or cloaks…

Bug: Cant send diplomatic messages running the game in Opera browser.
I know not many people use it, but I've been playing with Opera browser lately. Everything seems to work except I can't seem to send diplomatic messages in it, can't even type in the message field. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Change colors or races on scoreboard so they match up
Wen you see the graphs on the scoreboard they do not have the corresponding colors to the pie charts, this can be confusing and quite annoying although it does not affect game play

Possibility to change Avatar Name
Hi,
Many of us have entered Nu with whatever name or came in from the social media and have to stick to this one name, whether they want or not.
On some profile pages you can find different names than the original when entering, so there might be the need for a changeable avatar name... doesn't have to be indefinetely, but a change should be possible.
somehow the 'display name' field seems not to have any effect, btw..
could this please be implemented/debugged?
regards

Autodrop from games when closing account
When a player closes his or her account, they are still active in the games they where playing. For instance in this game
the Federation player is still active, but the player himself
http://planets.nu/user/volkdemus
does not exist. If a player leaves planets.nu, then that players games should be dropped, so others can take over.

Use phost / plist as an option in the config of several games
I know players (for example in the old Spanish vgaplanets community) that only play with phost/plist and I like play here with them
In the other hands, some poeple says taht plist is more balanced than plist, and the same for the races
Phost is currenly being maintained (last version is from december of 2010) while thost is unmaintained for years

Ballistic Trajectory
Just spit balling a new wacky idea. With the Stellar Cartography add-on, it now becomes necessary to plot courses to avoid obstacles.
I have no idea how feasable this is. What i'm thinking of is instead of plotting courses in a straight line, have the game offer mathematical arcs available to your ships to travel along to avoid star clusters and debris disks. Something that would look at your waypoint, your speed, and give you a selection of arcs that would get you to your destination, while avoiding an obstacle.
Is this even possible?

Race name change
In original VGAP there was a configuration that allowed you to change the names of the races. Presumably for copyright purposes, Tim never used the proper names he was clearly designing the races after. So the Federation became the feds, the Galactic Empire became the Evil Empire, etc. But with this configuration that Tim included you could enter in whatever you wanted to call your race.
There were three changes you could make for each race. I recall the first two being very similar, as being the Long form noun, and the shortened noun. The third was the adjective describing…

Clean up the game threads in the forums. For example there are a zillion one on one blitz threads, how does one find the one for their game?
There should be no pre made threads, let the players start their own threads if they want one for their game. Also how about a search bar so you can find you game instead of having to scroll through page after page.

more team games
Haven't played in a team game yet, but here are some things that would make it more appealing to me:
More team sizes available. I think a lot of people would have interest in 2-man teams. I haven't been playing here long enough to know 3 other people I'd like to play with, and I don't want to get 10 turns in and realize one of my teammates only communicates via 10,000 lines C++. Some particularly social people might even like larger games, up to 6 on each side, I'd just offer a game of each size and players can…

Increase the radius of current ship/planet marker
Your current ship/planet is marked with a yellow ring with a radius about the same as a ship orbiting a planet. Increase this to twice the current radius to make it easier to see.

Make some games for non-premium players only
Start some games where only non-premiumplayers can join.
When premium players encounter non-premium players, it is very tempting to attack them. They often wont make strong allies, and are often much easier to take out.
But it feels so wrong to just destroy a new player, before he or she get to experience the game. It may well mean they will leave the community, and never become premium members......53 votes
