will be good, if you can integrate such one in the yards.

you mean one that repeats the build queue infinitely? yes, that is on our ideas list already

Awesome, Doca Was hoping something like this would make it in

interesting.
I hope we have something similar in mind for the borg as manually focusing on creating a ship with each specific weapon to be selected, is a massive attention grabber.
Especially if im in battle all building stops even when i have resources.

That something that would always build the same vessel configeration

would be cool if you played infinite resources, you could build a yard for each ship.

yup. would not mind that. allowing us to set a queue and charge us accordingly.

i'm against the idea because it would simplify the gameplay. players should focus not only on battles but also on economy & production.

instead of endless build button i would prefer if the d/t for the ship would be payed when the ship is queued not when its constructing. it's a real pain in the a** when i see im floating 2000d and want to build one more yard and just after i click on a worker 2 ships pop out of my yards and i'm down to 500d. imho it takes much more time then clicking one key a few times on a few yards.

Presumably you could insert those build delays into the specified queue. And simplifying the gameplay? i'm not sure about that, as you have to think about what you want built. Look at supreme commander; that offers endless build, and you need it! The other reason we might want it is you dont want to have to have your shipyards stop building in the middle of a battle because youre too busy microing to refill the build queues.

I supose, it would be more usefull when you don't need to build any more stations.

After all, you wouldnt have to use it if you didnt want to...

I wont to add another idea, What about having the endless build option be set up similar to time delay and have it so you can have more then one endless build commands. When one has more then one endless build command it alternates the next ship in the query between the endless build commands.

so a customizable, endless build queue

I don't think it would be in the spirit of the game.  I agree....this RTS is more than just micro managing battles.  Also, such a thing serves no benefit to the Borg so that unbalances it already.  Personally, I'd never use it if it were a feature.
