Systems Menu

Beitrag von UesugiKenshin »

You are going to spend a lot of time managing what infrastructure is being built in various systems (which likely should be named "sectors" to emulate Star Trek). Most military strategy games have a way to quickly scroll through most of the sectors to assess what is in the building queue such that there is a logical order and progression based upon priorities of that sector.

If you swipe across the name of the sector, it updates to the next one which is far less cumbersome.

In most military strategy games you have some sort of way to rapidly see what offensive and defensive capabilities are within that system/sector. That ought to be addressed within that menu as the way it currently is configured, one has to exit the system/sector screen and then look in the empire screen, then military,then ships, then troops to see where each one is located.

Or within the galaxy map, double tapping then shows which ships are within that system/sector.

The Empires and then Systems menu allows you much more than just monitoring that sectors are profitable and ensuring that adequate harvest yields are feeding your citizens. There is a military tab and this can give a general overview, but also you can specify what types of ships currently have orders and destinations. You can for example just see what colony ships are still colonizing, which are in-transit, or acting as temporary sentries (as maybe they are midlevel ships so have weak offensive and defensive capabilities but it's currently risky to leave orbit as anomalous entities may be nearby). They also are constantly terraforming to maximize the system/sector's overall ability to support populations through migration.

Note that while I thought I was paying attention to the events messages that showed colony ships were done with terraforming, in fact I missed messages while distracted with anomalous entities causing energy draining of the primary planets.

As you end up with several sectors under your control, you will frequently hit the top lettered sections to sort the level of morale, the sectors who are undergoing famine, the sectors with excess natural resources that can be sold, etc. It makes it faster and there is a LOTof micromanaging of the economy.

One person who played the game wrote on Google Play that it was irritating to micromanage everything in the systems/sectors. Actually in the empire, and then systems menu, if you click and hold on a empty queue, then it will toggle to autobuild. I have not seen that prior. I wonder if others even know it exists?

Now when toggled, there was no update on individual systems screen...just in the main empire overview.

Similarly if the queue is not empty and you click and hold, it will build what you assigned in autobuild.

See the screencaps.

When you have many sectors under your control, it may be useful to manage the main ones (say 10-12 that will have shipyards later in the game) and autobuild the rest so you can focuse on the logistics to get starships to the front and then invade or defend. The only way to know how well it works is to turn over many sectors to autobuild and see how it performs.
