Standardize coordinates format

@I_like_pie

Currently, there’s different formats in which you can find coordinates.

We have xx,yy:zz and we have “planet zz, in the xx,yy system”.

Can we get rid of the latter, and formulate everything in one standard format, being: xx,yy:zz?

Really awkward that the game offers tools like distance checker that does not work with the empire news or family news format

Only downfall is this would likely be the end of Silenz.org, it uses the latter format for fam news analyzer.

But it would work much better with the distance checker built into the game, and also with FleetElite.

Anyway we can build these tools into the game?

Agreed - but in the mean time a standard format would work great. Also: it makes a lot more sense altogether to display everything in one format.

Oh for sure a standard format is the first thing to do.

But after that building the tools into the game would be awesome :slight_smile:

Yea I think there might be a thread on this already, or was part of another thread. Would be cool to have an expanded fam news where you could sort and pull reports.

Yep, we have plans to replicate those tools in general.

Feel free to create new threads for specific tools that you want prioritized by vote. The more specific, the better. :+1:

Is it possy to have our Recent Reports planet id’s linkafied instead of more rounds with the 20 year old typo that looks like this?

One of our fleets has reached its destination for attack on planet 69 in the 69:69 system.
Caaause “planet X in the XX:XX” like doesn’t match up with anything.
Can’t even cut and paste “XX:XX” in that fanceh “View” field.

Now “XX,XX” would be a pretty massive upgrayedd. :unicorn:

That colon is a fun killer!
Or at the very least makes me occasionally use two hands to play!
:rage:

Most of the above seems funny but a bit off topic.

Yes, this is something that has always been annoying and should’ve been fixed more than a decade ago.
