Fleet Formations and Sub-fleet commands...

(Or Someone probably already thought of this and the Devs already have their hands full...)

from Sins Forums

     ...But i thought i would mention it anyway,   :)   im in the middle of a game now, and was just thinking how nice the graphics are, and how nice the battles play out, i mean, there are little things here and there, like the turretts on the HW Corvettes taht i wish we had, or the seeming largeness of the ships in HW2, which im not sure how they did that? But i wish we had that too.  :)

     Anyway... i was justing thinking that Sins is pretty dog gone good, and i thought it would be neat to like have fleet commands, i mean like formations, you know, v and wing, and guard-your-flank and that kind of stuff. i think i heard someone say for cruisers to like guard capitals, that kind of thing. Sorry, im not very original here, but wanted to put my vote in for it.  :)  And for sub-commands for sub-units, like patrol perimeter, or patrol just-this-area, or just guard, that kind of thing. Anyway, thanks for listening, and have a good night and keep on modding!!  And gaming!!   :)

not supported by the game right now.  see if you can find a copy of homeworld/homeworld 2.  There's a few fleet formations for fighters, frigates, and mixed fleets in those games. Also homeworld has one of the best epic stories for any space RTS, but the gameplay in homeworld 2 is also good.

All these little things that could turn this epic game into a legend to behold!!!

At this rate we'll be modding planets to only have boys as population which would give us a +50% income monus and stuff like that!! :)

I have a copy of each,  :)  HW  and HW2, and love them, but of course they are not "modern" or updated. Sins is the best out for all the Space games and they have made modding wonderfully easier for someone like me, that doesnt understand code, but i have some success with doing things.  :)  Anyway. i just thought some of what made other games great might be able to be incorporated into this game. Doesn't mean it will happen, likely it wont happen, but i just thought it would be worth asking.  :)  But thank you for your response and time. Perhaps as you say, i will have to be content with HW and HW2 having some of those things and leave it at that.  :)

:)  Haha, Advent boys?  or Advent Girls and Tec Boys?   Haha... well... it is fun changing things. Sort of like decorating your house you know?  It makes it more "personal"  :)
