Ship Movement Tracks - Color Coding

from GalCiv3 Forums

The ship movement track color codes seem to need some work.

It seems they do not (always) consider speed reductions (-50%) due to nebular or alike.

They always show the full movement range of the ship and not the remaining movement of the ship. (It looks nice as the color changes during the move of the ship, but actually that is not really useful, especially if you move the ship in smaller steps !)

on a somewhat related note i think it would be beneficial to have a movement circle around the selected ship highlighting all the hexes that ship could reach in this turn

I think my favoured option would be a bit like the Total War games.

You click once and it only plots the movement tracks so you can see how many turns it would take to reach places.

Only when you double click does the ship move.

 

Edit: I just checked Shogun 2 and the way it works is if you right click instead of left click, the movement track appears and you can move around as it updates so you can see just exactly where you can go in how many turns. Once you release, the unit moves, or if you left click it cancels.

Pretty good system Imho.
