Just an idea, in the forums could it be possible to have a special link type that requires the name of a star, and then forms a link to that star system if clicked? Or maybe just jumps to its location on the map.
Maybe have something like [star]Name[/star] and then it will link to the star of the given name.
So, to link to the star Thundsimir, you would just use [star]Thundsimir[/star].
Also, for the new map design. Could it not be a set page on its own, but more a free floating page on top of the page your currently viewing?
So clicking the icon at the top will create a DIV with the map on top of the current page, and clicking it again will hide it, but it still keeps its current location and data...not sure how easy that will be though

Yes, that could be possible. But this is a low priority enhancement, at least for now.

The problem is that when map is shown it will load all data from server. Reading it each time will result in unnecessary traffic and delays. I rather prefer to make a well developed map with a lot of management functions so you could easily command you fleets and colonies.

Oh, ok. A good map with lots of functions would be fine also.

I Propose to add Layers in design.
I Layer 0 you can place Flash with Map, in Layer 1 you place header, in Layer 3 you place AJAX content
if it possible this method tell fast switch between map content etc.
The Main Idea is not destroy main forms between switchings.

Layers would require significant changes in the code, so I'll think about it later once we have something solid up and running.

Small features Request:
In researsh screen, will be nice to enable filters for next types :"Researched" "Available for research" "Not available yet",
But checks buttons already exists on help panel
Color frames are good, but visible - invisible state is more informative.
Also i like to add some ways to see dependences more informative, may be on bottom panel of form.
For pays services you can add feature to add new research with its dependences in queue, by one mouse click.

Small requests
In reserach screen with table view mode, technologieas are now unsorted.
I propose sort it by research costs ascending.
Also will be usefull to show research cost directly in technology bar.

Small requests
In reserach screen
Show any symbol ForEx: Q in technology bar if this techology added to queue. This is useful with unlimited Queue Service enabled
In Waypoint add dialog need add TRIM() function for entered words.
Also searching with phrase "Star Planet" such as "Sigma Alpha", copied from windows buffer and taked from colonies form, dont work. Result is null.

You can add stars to path only. Searching for a planet will not result in a star name.

I propose some improvements for planets list.
1. Add new Column "Time" (Name Farmers Workers Scientists Building Time)
2. Add Sorting By Name, FoodProduction, WorkerProdution etc relative to columns list.
3. With big planets list( about 30 planets and above), for planets at end of list, popup planet edit form will open in invisible area of screen.
Please change top left position for all popup forms in project relative to current viewport.
4. Add "Pay building" function directly through "time to build" mouse click

Sorting would be quite hard to implement on this page, but maybe in future will implement it.
