Cosmetics/Convenience - Discussion

[Tekki]

The ingame PM sending box now looks very nice I guess that's a nice cosmetic change. it looks (to me) a bit sleeker and nicer.

* There is now a checkbox is now on 'reset Relations'.

Nice addition, though I'm still unsure about the location of this. I think it may be better suited at the top, above the list of players as opposed to the bottom. The top of the page is the only part that isn't affected by loading times for images which push the page down or up.

* Time Display will show- hh:mm for current day | mmm dd, hh:mm for current year (but not current day) | mmm dd, YYYY for previous years.

Very nice update. Glad to see this one come to light. Will be much easier tracking enemies now...

* Planet Summary On Base Page linked to planet page, so clicking on planet name takes you directly to the management of that planet on the planets management page.

Very nice. I always thought that the planet management pages was one of the biggest eyesores to this game.

* Officer Management, Alliance Management, Alliance Wars, etc -- are more obvious on the base page where applicable.

Ooooh... underlines and bigger words...

* Race Ranking: If a race has enough members, it will be ranked. You can then also click through to see all memebers of said race. The link can be seen from the 'attack' menu option, or any of the ranking screens.

Meh... wish all races ranks would be shown. I'd like to see how the Midget Porn Stars rank in the 'verse.

Not sure if it's because everyone is on PPT, but the rankings look a little cleaner for some reason. I noticed the grey header bar, which is nice. I think it's because of those quick attack buttons which are an eyesore next to the name. They should probably have their own row. The location of those buttons being staggered makes the page look sloppy.

When viewing an alliance page you can see in red font "They of <alliance name>" Its positioning looks sloppy as alliance name lengths vary.

Ok.... This is more convenience side of things

Allaince options

Allaince Leader
2nd in command

Then the allaince leader should be able to give out to 1/5th of his allaince the ability to send allaince wide pms (strike leader)
The allaince leader should be able to allow 1/10th of the members to use the allaince banks (Division Commanders)
The allaince leader should be able to allow 1/20th of the members to add new members (Army commanders)
Every 100 members another slot of ( 2nd in command options opens up)

So basically
1 person in the allaince= Allaince leader
2 people in the allaince = Allaince leader plus 2nd in command
5 people in the allaince = Allaince leader plus 2nd in command + Strike leader
10 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 2 strike leaders, one division commander
15 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 3 strike leaders, and one division commander
25 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 4 strike leaders, two division commander and one army general
30 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 5 strike leaders, two division commander and one army general
35 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 6 strike leaders, three division commander and one army general
40 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 7 strike leaders, three division commander and one army general
45 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 8 strike leaders, four division commander and two army general
50 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 9 strike leaders, four division commander and one army general
55 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 10 strike leaders, five division commander and one army general
60 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 11 strike leaders, five division commander and one army general
65 People in the allaince = Allaince leader Plus 2nd in command + 12 strike leaders, six division commander and three army general

Interesting idea.


I love the timestamp. Funny how something that small can be so practical.

i hope this is not too petty....
but on the banking page, could you please move the deposit button to line up with the withdraw button.

ya know, sometimes when i'm in a big hurry, i make mistakes.

[Maha Vishnu]

It is nice now so I can look at all the ancients and Tok'ra now without hunting them down and logging them individually.

Makes it easy for massing other races muahahahhaa

That is done to prevent banking scripts from being used.
