Topic: Fleet Page arrangement

Could you make the way fleets are displayed so when multiple fleets are hovering over the same planet it lists them together? Instead of one being at the top of your list, another half way down and another at the bottom?

It would make it easier to find the correct fleet to trigger if you've sent 3 fleets of increasing size and want to trigger your smallest fleet first

You could separate the fleets by fleets hovering and fleets en-route if that made it easier to arrange the fleets i think.

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

Are you saying you'd like sorting options on the fleet page?

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

Yes please PS.  Sort by planet hovering, perhaps by who owns the planets also if poss?

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

I don't care if i don't have an option on how to sort it, just some kind of sort beyond the current. For example:

I'm currently hovering over these planets and they are all in the same system and all sent on the same tick and arrived the same tick. It took me like 10 mins to go through and make sure i had sent to all the correct planets on a list i was supposed to because the planet coords on the fleet page aren't in any kind of order aside from the tick they arrive or hovering

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

Arrange it so you can sort with a drop down box.

Alternatives :

By coordinates, and it makes it really line em up by coordinates - Would solve what Gondor mentions.

By current owner, where no owner comes first, then numerical, then alphabetical sort - To pin-point attacks and avoid easy errors of people having taken already from your target.

By arrival-time, like how its currently functioning - Simply cause its nice and orderly and effective for planning.

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

lol guys I think you're asking for too much, the idea is good, but Ps time is gold and adding boxes seems (for me) some hard job in the weak code.

The code is already overloaded imo, I see some parts of the game are now slowered due to the last changes, ae in your msg inbox when somebody sends you coords the loading of the inbox page is slowered, due to all the links, so this is not a good thing, if you send a list of 100 coords to another player you can actually slowdown the server, but if you send 1000 and other people sends 1000 in the same tic you can even block it, so PLEASE, Petrolstone, this is an urgent improvement, you have to find a way to LIMIT the number of coords (links to planets) in each msg sent yikes


On a side note, things like giving colours in the map circles should be easy as hell for you, I mean red for enemy, yellow for napped, blue for ally, green for you.   Those easy ideas are the ones we must ask Ps for, they are light weight in terms of code.

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

> if you send a list of 100 coords to another player you can actually slowdown the server,

The links are added after the page loads using javascript. This means all of that load has been pushed client slide to your computer. The server is ignorant of the added links. This was done to prevent exactly what you just mentioned.

>so PLEASE, Petrolstone, this is an urgent improvement, you have to find a way to LIMIT the number of coords (links to planets) in each msg sent

I could add an option to disable the link adding code. What browser are you using? Some are faster at processing javascript than others.

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

oh good you used Javascript smile now its my comp slowered down not the server, i dont like it tho tongue

I am using Firefox, but its slow because of my internet connection not browser's fault.

the option to disable the link code could be a good adition, but not if it means links are also disabled in the fam news page.
If the server is not loaded then I'd leave it as it is.

What about the coloured circles in the map? can you do it?

Re: Fleet Page arrangement

Edit: The colored systems shouldn't take too much work. I haven't looked at that part of the game too closely yet.

To bring the topic back to this thread: I can add a sorting to the fleet page as a minor component of another update. It isn't hard to do. All changes require the moderators approval, and I'll bring it up with them.
