I think that there is quite sufficient space for a pair of numbers in the menu...


play four player, the buy menu is at optimal size.

If you dislike the rockets, I reccomend using the crate mod.

Drops a comically small crate which your order pops out of.

Rockets are classic. But use a dropship or something if you dont like rockets.

I think he's not happy with the delivery method (space-uuber-wepanz-shop-with-spaceship-delivery), not the vehicle.

Your points about the AI, or lack thereof, have been lamented many times before, but, you make good points.

Your idea about the buy menu is interesting, and the only objection I can raise is this: Where would it GO?

There's not much space in the buy menu as it is.



I think le-mec's idea would involve putting item weight right next to the cost in gold. It would create a new column, not a new row.

Actually I'm just not happy with the fact that getting an order delivered SAFELY is pretty much the most difficult thing to do in the game.



I did get a really cool idea just now though. Drop pods! Instead of delivering actors from within other actors, drop pods would fall straight down from above, eject the cargo, and become part of the terrain. No more having the drop ship fall on your order, or having your actor's head blasted off by thrusters. I think that would be a cool thing to add to the delivery method...maybe make it more expensive then drop pods since its safer.

I'm not really sure whether the small frustration of messing up a delivery should lead to changing the tricky deliveries to super easy deliveries. Granted, the drop ships do cause huge amounts of havoc and spew gibs at very high speeds if you make minor errors, but that makes the game really chaotic and fun. And plus, you don't really feel angry when you lose a guy in CC, you just order another one and the thrill of it all is you have a high chance of crashing and burning.

Then again things like actors flying up into engines should be fixed, because that's just buggy coding. You can avoid torching the troops after you drop em off by switching to the craft and flying it away yourself, unlike the AI which spews its thrusters all over to take off and stay perfectly steady.

And yeah, drop pods are a really old idea, though Data should implement his own. :P

Well that's why you don't trust the AI, and you seriously are a sore noob because, one, you suck at delivery, and two, you're being such a douche about it!
