I wish we could tag Asteroids.

[Ulf]

I wish we could Bookmark the asteroids we land on.

Then we could find good asteroids on the galaxy page later.
And Even More Useful, Avoid the ones we've almost emptied.


I'd also like it if the Military Reports NEWS Articles would show the Planet Coordinates of the battle.
Some battles just aren't worth clicking on the report.

You can use a sсript (or a program for calculating asteroids) to see the way of the asteroid in the next one day, so you can write it on a text editor or something else, all the asteroids you are used.For example:
An asteroid is on 2:5:10, and will move in 15:10:00.His speed (one way time) is 30 mins.

It's a part of the table, that the program makes:

15:40:00 [2:5:12]
16:10:00 [2:5:13]
16:40:00 [2:5:14]
17:10:00 [2:5:15]
17:40:00 [2:6:1]
18:10:00 [2:6:2]
18:40:00 [2:6:3]
19:10:00 [2:6:4]
19:40:00 [2:6:5]
20:10:00 [2:6:6]
20:40:00 [2:6:7]
21:10:00 [2:6:8]
21:40:00 [2:6:9]
22:10:00 [2:6:10]
22:40:00 [2:6:11]
23:10:00 [2:6:12]
23:40:00 [2:6:13]
00:10:00 [2:6:14]
00:40:00 [2:6:15][/quote]

So after 5 hours (22:00), when you search for asteroids again, and see an asteroid in 2:6:9, you can check the table, if the asteroid coincides.
(between 21:40 - 22:10 the asteroid is on 2:6:9)

Is the current Asteroid calculator in the Tools thread working properly? Everytime I use it, it seems to give me the original coordinates I put in as the result of where I should send my ship. (Even if I know for certain that the asteroid will not be there when I launch my ships).

Here's a pic of me using it:



I input the time it would take my ships to get to the current location of the asteroid, in this case 4:458:14 and it taking 1 hours and 34 minutes (which totals to 94 mins), am I doing anything wrong with it?

There is something wrong.You must send it at 4:459:2 (if the current time is from 18:58-19:39), cuz 1:34h + 19:00:00 h = 20:34 ... 20:34 = 20:32 + 2 min.If the time is before 18:58, you must send them to 4:459:1

How did you determine this? Through your own formula or the calculator? And why did you add 19:00:00 hours? Should I do that to determine it? (That is, the time until next change + the time it takes to travel to the current asteroid)

I'm not so good in explanation, but i will try

You set the asteroid at 4:458:14, so it's next position will be 4:458:15 at 19:00.If the time now is 18:55 and your flight is 1h:34m so 18:55 + 1:34 = 20:29, so you must send the recyclers at 4:459:1, cuz you will arrive there 42 mins after the asteroid goes on 4:459:1 (the asteroid's one way is 46 min), so you will be in time, and don't miss it.If the time is from 18:58 to 19:43 ... for example 19:10, asteroid will be on 4;458:15, and you travel 1:34 ... 19:10 + 1:34 = 20:35, so you must send to 4:459:2, cuz you will arrive 3 mins after the asteroid goes on theese coordinates.If the time now is 19:38, you travel 1:34 ... 19:38 + 1:34 = 21:12h, you must send it to 4:459:2 again, cuz the asteroid will be there from 20:32 to 21:18.But if the time now is 19:45, you travel 1:34, so you will arrive at 19:45 + 1:34 = 21:19.You must send it to 4:459:3, cuz the asteroid will be already on 4:459:3, a minute ago (21:18).

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So 46/min a field means that it takes 46 mins to pass each planet. I thought it meant something along the lines of 46 mins per field (as in fields for building). Simple math equation then. Thanks so much for your help!

@Arcko you can use the crude calculator I have made a long time ago for a galaxy far away

The one you have been using is definitely more beautiful and I admire the creator
