Who can design the best fleet builder? In a discussion with Global}{Galactica} it came to me that the one offered by my mods (gc.mmanir.net) is not perfect. Anyone have a good idea how it could look like?
Limitations: width of up to 550px (preferably 512px, at most 780px). Must feature a stacks list (note that it should show all current and future stacks, and have at least rudimentary disband buttons), a place least 35 different ships and at least 10 preset slots.
Place submissions here or send them by email if its something that cannot be posted. A good mockup software is http://balsamiq.com/products/mockups . Of course do try my mods before you start thinking about it, both the Ship builder and preset builder parts.
Prize: I`ll code the best submission. |

99+ day(s) ago | im really bad with mockups, but heres what i would think is useful information. similar design with the following columns:
Name, Ship Type (optional), Amount (enter amounts here), Build Rate, Range, Damage, Hull, E, K, M, C, (shields) PR per, PR total
at the bottom have the way it currently is, display the current fleet with realtime updates as the amount column is filled
this is open to even more suggestions, im sure there are other good ideas, i just would like to see these basics because they are what is really essential in choosing which ships to build. also, have a static, yet updated shiplist that the mods reference to avoid these bugs with the ship builder (i see nothing but infinities every time, rendering all of this useless really). or maybe just allow the submit button to be used regardless of the turn errors and just display the same errors on the build page if they come up (e.g. insufficient turns) |

Current overall pr is missing. [Total fleet pr is present]
If you want to improve blood war feature [optional mod] -- nearest blood war enemy could be an extra line. Or even nearest enemy. This would be for those liking to hit from 129% or 149 or 199. |

99+ day(s) ago | Design and web design are areas of great weakness for me, however, I do notice that (on my large monitor) there`s lots of space to the side of ship list... would it be possible to simply move the submit button with your new stacks off to the right, pushing the chat over some
I could be in one of those fancy boxes that scrolls down as you do or something :) |
