Fleet Cap GUI

posted on September 29th, 2012, 3:03 pm

I just got an idea for a somewhat faction-based GUI. Now other than the fact that each faction pretty much has their own GUI already, I was thinking that each faction could have a fleet cap listed with the resources, with a drop-down showing all of the possible fleet-caps for that faction. One fleet cap is selected for that faction to be the "primary" fleet cap, which is always displayed, while a drop-down menu will display the other fleet caps that the faction can use. For example:

Borg: Collective Connections (I know it's the metal resource, but I needed an example.)
Borg: Technologies (if CC remains a resource instead of a cap)
Dominion: Perimeter (HSA could be the first listed in the drop down )
Federation: Warp-In Slots
Klingon: Vupta' Refit (I guess)
Romulan: Tavara (Is there a larger fleet cap that I don't know about that is not on an avatar-specific unit?)

This would also be good in commentaries because the commentator would always know whether a player could get more units, always having the most used cap in view, and being able to get a list of all fleet caps for that faction. The same with the player.

well fleet caps will be removed in next version so i guess we'll have to see what the replacement can do

I guess then we can consider this idea/request for whatever replaces the fleet cap.
