I've enjoyed Galactic Civilizations for years. I have a "wish" that auto-survey could be programed so that multiple survey ships will not end up all going to the same anomaly. I have no idea how game codes are written so I don't know if this can be done or not. It happened in GC2, and it seems to be happening again in GC3. If I have built five ships to survey the galaxy, even if there are a multitude of anomalies available, they eventually tend to focus on the same anomaly. Of course the first one gets it, but the others have wasted time by-passing some other anomalies to head to the same one!
It seems that in GC3, with pirate-protected anomalies, that auto-survey "knows" to avoid these, (my experience so far is that I can send ships to the anomaly, but auto-survey avoids them), so I am hoping that some kind of coding can be written that "tells" same-civilization ships to pick a different anomaly if a sister ship already has her sights on a particular anomaly. Anyway, it's a wish; I won't stop playing if it can't be done. I can only hope it's not too much to request.
Comments are welcome.
