Import/Export Ship Missions

[Deantwo]

It is not like this would allow anything more than to execute large scale surveying missions. The player will still need to make the colonies and everything else.

You appear to have forgotten that harvesting orders exist, colonies won't ever be needed

That is true, I never think about those because they are not reliable in the long-term.

I guess in theory you could download blueprints for some huge harvester exploration ships, building the needed industry to manufacture them, and then colonize a ringworld to get enough officers to man them. Then you could use this feature to export your starmap, run it through a program to generate some missions for the ships to execute, and then repeat that until you have found the resources. Once perfect/desired resources are found you could make the program generate the harvesting orders for the ships, or instruct the player on how to colonize the solar system.

Still doesn't sound horrible, the player still needs to play the game and actually build up. But as I said, it singleplayer now, so it doesn't really matter.
