"One-click plotting"...I really like this idea. I think this would be a perfect thing to sell for SMR credits. Maybe 1 or 2 credits per static sector plot. I'd pay.

2 years ago, i made a new plot course idea (which was how the idea of the nearest uno etc was created), and had a whole new plot course which made it that much better. i need to find this image again!

This was the orginal photo i found, and the part i really liked was the option for the alliance leader to program sectors in that will be shown on all players. (ie. on the bottom)

I like the thought of the alliance designated sectors set by alliance leader. I would limit it to planets and warp.

I think that the warp to specific sectors for weapons and such should be a paid aspect.

This needs discussion with the players.

I definitely think the alliance leader should be able to set plot points (eg Lander, OP Meet). I don't think it should be easy to use for trading though. It should take a player the extra second or two to type in the sector. Besides, after the first few times of trading a route, no one should need to plot to trade anyways.

Allow alliance leader to set say 5 sectors.

Any more then that can be a pay feature that is user specific.

Thoughts on limit for player defined?

Personally I have no problem limiting it to 10-20. shouldn't impact performance.

I think 10 might be too many. I'd rather see 5 or so.
