| Summary | 0025104: Provide claim toggle for capturables | ||||
| Description | Sometimes there are capturables which I would prefer to avoid capturing for at least a time (e.g., to avoid an AIP increase which would send the AI to the next mark level). Currently you can only disable them once the claim process has begun. It would be more convenient if we could 'fire and forget' with the ability to toggle the claim status of capturables (i.e., 'claim' versus 'don't claim') even when the claim process hasn't begun. Engineers sometimes prioritize other things first and you're stuck waiting around for the claim to initiate. I've found manually controlling engies for this to be finicky (e.g., right-click an unclaimed ark w/ engies, and they may still prioritize building metal harvesters first). This situation of waiting is mildly annoying at best and ripe for forgetting at worst, b/c while managing another part of the empire, it's easy to forget and the claim+build might complete. Moreover, sometimes the claiming process is so quick that if you're not quick on the draw, it finishes building before you've even had a chance to disable it. This preemptive solution mitigates that problem as well. This claim toggle would be on a per-capturable basis, and it would presumably default to true for all capturables. Allowing the preemptive choice not to initiate claiming would be a nice QoL boost. Would really appreciate if you guys could implement this. The game just keeps getting better and, IMHO, this would be another contribution to that end. | ||||

Thanks! * It is now possible to select units of other factions, even enemy ones, if you directly click on them. Drag-selecting will not select them, and you cannot give them orders. ** However, this can be a really handy way to left-click some enemy group on the sidebar and suddenly see all of them with selection circles, for instance. ** This also allows you to select things that you have not yet claimed, and pause them before the claim process even starts, if you wish. |
