Might make it easier to see who's attacking whom? But some shipsets have symmetrical shot sprites...

This shouldn't be too hard to implement - just make the amount of time paused on a salvo proportional to the damage inflicted, and increase it further if it was a critical hit.

Replay either battle in the attached save, the game crashes.

need more detail

So if you open a turn and there is an existing PLR file, the PLR file should be loaded and the commands should be imported, same as FrEee.

They are horribly ugly.

When scrolling the map, sometimes it jumps around.

Perhaps per shipset?

• Resource value
• Fleet strength (proportionally sized pie charts? size of whole pie is proportional to sector with the most collective ship strength)
• Mining rate
• Current UI "information overload" for nostalgia
• Others?

Check out FrEee to see how this can be done.

Either in a ring like the original GUI did or maybe clustered somehow.

It crashes and fills up gigabytes of logs with this error repeating forever:

Exception caught: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for EventHorizon.Music

• Weapons can be estimated based on how many shots they fire.
• Hull can be estimated based on critical hits received.
• Shields can be estimated based on how much damage they take before the shields fail.
• Thrusters can be estimated based on initiative order in battle.
• All components would then be scaled to match the hull size and other stats reported by the server.

Would show how much of a sector's income is blockaded by enemy ships. Or maybe show 50/100 instead of just 50 for the resource income...

Does this happen with the FrEee music engine?

Looks like something is going on with the map rendering because the map is a big red X...

If you move a ship into one sector and then move it back, the new movement arrows are covered up by the old ones. New movement arrows should always appear on top.

Why? Because. Oh yeah, Xamarin. #32

Might require porting to .NET Core first (#31), but this would make the game truly cross platform, and open it up to a better UI framework than Windows Forms.

Look at FrEee's design library for how to do this.

We don’t have ghost hexes anymore; is this still a problem?

Their locations can be calculated from the size of the map so why not?

FrEee supports it so there's no reason we can't support it here!

Maybe borrow some from FrEee?

We need a way to create a fleet out of multiple ships. They would move together and be displayed together in the ship list. Perhaps use notes somehow - maybe a fleet would be a note that contains a list of ship IDs? We would need logic to make sure that all ships in a fleet are in the same location - or maybe we could allow multi-sector formations?

Say, the "mobile" rocket could turn into an arrow pointing in the direction the ship is moving...

So you don't have to press delete on the keyboard.

Idle ships being ships that can move and are not ordered to move. Maybe add idle/sentry commands after that to skip a turn / wait for nearby enemies?

Inspired by THANCS. Instead of shipsets specifying what the ships would look like, they would specify what the components would look like, and ships would be automatically generated out of component hexes.

• Required hull in the center
• Shields in ring around hull
• Armor in ring around shields
• Weapons and thrusters in ring around armor, with weapons toward the front and thrusters toward the back mainly
• Mothership gets a shipyard overlay
• Components would be guessed for enemy ships based on their stats.
• Ship shapes would be defined by the shipset somehow.
