helping out allies - ships crash
« on: December 31, 2015, 01:46:37 PM »

when deploying in a battle with allies, my ships crash into their ships and explode. please set their deployment distances to be farther away so this doesn't happen.

This one is fairly tricky to "solve" because ships will move about as they will if you're joining an ongoing battle, and just force-moving them away from the deployment area could create some undesirable situations. For the time being, you can dismiss the deployment dialog and take a look at the deployment area before deciding to deploy.

... hmm. Actually, looking at it from another angle, this isn't too bad. Added an automatic shutoff to travel drive that's initiated when there's any collision danger (except for very small asteroids).

That'd be great~! I've had it where small astriods just pop- and that's fun -what's not fun... Or is... is when my ship can "See" the asteroid and decides it's a good idea to keep burning. Thus resulting in my ship hitting the orb of space metal. Turning RIGHT back around an either stopping in time before hitting another. Hitting the "wall", or plain just blowing up~!
