Summary0000554: Add an AI-o-pedia
DescriptionWhen i was trying to pick my ship type, i was looking at the attack bonuses lists and wondering what that made them good against. An in-game reference (not completely unlike the famous Civilopedia) for things like this would be simply awesome (though i understand if it wouldn't be doable right away).

*bump*

To clarify, this would be more generally desired, so players could learn about game concepts without looking at an external source :)

Changing severity since suggestions don't really get in the major category. Nonetheless, you might like the new Reference tab of the Stats window, it's sort of a beginning for this request. Not sure how far we can go along these lines, but at least we're to the point where it's tolerable to have parts of the interface bring up large windows that cover most of the play area, so long as those parts don't require frequent/mandatory use.

I figured since it's a major suggestion, i'd set that field to major ;)

Ok, i looked at it, and it needs quite a bit of work (its a good start though!).
 * All the ships are in one big list, which is hard to use. Filtering and sorting for the list would be useful.
 * More options for filtering the "versus" options would be useful.
 * Some of the names for pickable units are odd; like Anti-Star for anti-starship arachnids.
 * The data fields aren't that helpful when dealing with mines; it doesn't list shots to kill or seconds to kill. Perhaps minefields should get a special set of fields for this?

An in-game wiki is really out of the question. We don't have the resources of something like EA, and we don't have a way of entering wiki-style data in the game itself. We have an actual wiki for this.

I understand the motivation behind this, but it's an enormous sort of feature that adds a bit of convenience for players but not much else -- we maintain a real wiki much more easily that aims to provide this sort of information in an easily-updated format.
