some things that would be nice...

from Sins Forums

i wish that there was an empire menu that would show you more detailed info about your empire, such as: how many (and of each kind) of planets you controled, more detailed info on resource collection, and other general facts besides the ones on the tabs in the HUD.

 

Also, the "Matter Compression" artifact should cover refinery ships too.  it just seems that there are no refinery boosting artifacts.

 

what else?...the refinerys in general need to fuction better, getting .01 metal from one refinery isnt doing it.

 

an artifact that boosted alligence would also be nice...

 

that is it, please respond to this... (yes, im talking to the devs)

we already have a culture artifact booster, yes not alligence but affects culture.

refineries are ment to supplement production, not replace it. they are also ment to be used in larger empires where refinery ships can go to more than just one planet and produce alot of stuff

as for the empire menu... there is a thing, just not in one place, if you mouse over the counter for each resource, you have a break down of you resource income from each planet/asteroid, as well as total income against fleet upkeep. also, mousing over your credit counter shows your longest effecient trade route.

as for each kind of planet and how many, i dont believe there is such a thing yet, other than, again, looking at your income rates.

alternatively, if you go to the diplomacy window and click on your tab, there are a number of statistics there that give a general idea of how effecient your empire is... as i understand it, the closer to one you are the better...

as for other general facts, i dont know what you are talking about exactly so i cant help.

i agree with the matter compression affecting refinery ships, just makes sense.

and i agree with Varsi1, refineries are designed to work  with neighboring GW's as well as the GW of the refinery itself.... you are also supposed to have more than one in a system and have a large number throughout your empire...

however... it would make sense that refining your resources would give you a needed boost on smaller maps with only a few planets.

artifact for alligence... could be good, there is an artifacat, bio-mechanical planetary AI, increases income and resource generation from all of your planets due to increased effeciency over the extent of your empire... i dont think it would be a stretch to say that a side effect of said effeciency would be to increase alligence...

i already knew about the resource tabs and the diplomacy stats thing, but i just wish that you could highlight the stats and they would give you the tab info.

ie. highlighting the "metal" rank in the diplomacy window would show everything in the metal dropdown and more.

why cant the culture artifact also boost the alligence thing by like, 5% or something.

i use the refinerys alot, i just wish that they did more...
