Summary0014880: Option to Hide Bonus Ship Types
DescriptionWhen Keith joked about the alternative to player-selected bonus ships being hiding all bonus ships so you don't know what you are getting, my instant thought was "that should SO be a lobby option". Hence this suggestion.

I am the sort of person who enjoys random, unpredictable games, and I know I can't be the only one that thinks combining "hide unexplored planets" with "hide bonus ship types" would make for an extremely interesting game. :)

Plus, it's really the only way I could resist the temptation to choose my favorite bonus ships every game.

You could just not select a HW at all, and it picks one for you :)

The advantage would be in multiplayer, so players could guarantee starting adjacent to each-other while still not knowing their bonus ships.

That said, that feature should perhaps be better advertised, as I've played for quite a while and never knew about it. :)

Shouldn't this be marked as "resolved" instead of "assigned" since players can simply rightclick their homeworld and select "random ship" as their bonus ship type?
