Hello dear players and developers! I was playing avorion since a while now and sometimes I thought about some interesting options, which would be nice to have in future Updates. Please remember, that these are just ideas and I would not be mad if they are not implemented :) 1. An invisible sector-grid-option that tells the AI and the player if their ships are rotated "correctly". Now, I know that in space there is no "correct" rotation or "up" and "down". But sometimes you want a truly "epic" battle, like in Star wars oder battlefleet Gothic, where all ships have the "same" rotation. Sure, they fly on different hights but their horizontals are often the same. I am not saying that a battle, where all ships rotate however they want, is not epic, but I would like to have at least on option to toggle the grid on and off. There could be an indicator for the player, if he/she is aligned correctly to the sectorial grid. 2. Tell your ships in your fleet, with which part of their ship they should face the enemy. For example: You have made a ship for your fleet which has powerfull prow weapons, but due to the weird AI behaviour sometimes, they suddenly show their side and are not able to defend them at all -.- This happend a lot of times and I had to spread the main weapons all around the ship to make them fight appropiately. On some ship designs this looks "ok" but sometimes you want a ship to fire mighty broadsides! It would be very nice to tell a ship, how to fire. For example: "Try to attack with the prow" or "Face the enemy with the broadside." There be also a option for the "Top" and the "bottom" of the ship. Basically the player will decide, where the "center" of the ship will be. Then a cross is displayed, similar to the x,y,z axis-cross. Then there could be checkboxes, which part of the ship should ty to face the enemy. If all boxes are checked, the ship will move and attack like before. The options for attacking would be: 1. Top-Prow 2. Bottom-Prow 3. Broadside-Top-Left 4. Broadside-Bottom-Right 5. Top-Rear 6. Bottom-Rear Now, these checkboxes would only tell the ship, how it should face the enemy, but it should still be able to fire all its weapons if possible. I would really like to see these in the game ^^. And remember: just ideas ;)
