Ability to Have Old Mining Style Orders for Captained Ships for 2.0


Nova Strigon

Suggestion

Ladies and gentlemen, I may have found the solution. There is a mod out there made by ItalianMafiaGuy that specifically adds the old option while keeping the new orders.

Go ham out there o7

 

 

---------

UPDATE: It doesn't look like the old system would be returning. According to the devs on their tweets and recent AMA, the old version was a mess of coding and the way they implemented it wasn't what they envisioned for the game. Even though I want to have the old version back in some way, the best way is probably by modding it - which I am not sure is possible. If anyone can mod it, please let us know! 

----------

Hello! I want to preface this submission by saying that I am loving Avorion 2.0 as of the moment, especially how the developers (unlike other certain devs) allows the player to play the game as they want with the multitude of different settings and mods. 

There is one aspect that I would really like to have back from the previous versions however, and that is the ability to order your ships and fleets to mine a specific sector and chain it to refine at a specific port (basically as it was before this beta) rather than ordering them to go over multiple sectors and "go dark" on you for a very long period of time. I am not saying that the new method doesn't have its purpose, it's just that I would also like to have the option (within the create-world menu or somewhere else) to be able to play with the old style (possibly integrate it to classic mode?). Images will be attached to better explain my suggestion. 

I just feel like it the new method is not as fast, interactive, or proactive as the previous method -- which to be entirely fair is something a lot of people like, but I myself feel somewhat alienated by 2.0's new implementation as I like to actively manage my fleet in a more direct way. If for no other reason though, I think that adding (or re-adding) an option where players get to choose how they want to specifically order their mining fleets would allow more people to choose how they want to play the game. 

Please, pretty please, consider my suggestion as I would love to have it back. Either way, thank you for all of your guys' hard work and dedication into a game that I love dearly. 

 

Additional edit: 

Forgot to mention that the new feature doesn't output as much resources when compared to the previous method either. It both takes a longer time to have said resources, and each return yields very little in comparison to updates prior to 2.0.

Just some structural and grammatical changes.

Actually you can do old orders, but only when you in same system with a ship, just make it personally from ship menu or strategic mode.

Of course it's not that not that comfy as good old galaxy map buttons, but hey, its works

Hope latter we have better ore output from new orders, and thats just solve everything.

Yes, I usually want to limit where my ship goes to mine or to refine. Maybe if we could choose the sectors to mine or to refine, or to exclude sectors, within that range. I have no problem letting the captain decide routes and order of mining if I can restrict his choices for my own reasons.

I'm more concerned with how my mining ships defend themselves when pirates show up. They just plod along as though nothing were happening around them. I shouldn't have to jump into the miner and take control, or issue an order to let off mining and attack if I'm in the same sector.
