ENDLESS™ Space is a turn-based 4X strategy game, covering the space colonization age in the ENDLESS™ Universe. You control every aspect of your civilization as you strive for galactic dominion.
So in another thread some had the idea of this, I think it deserves its own thread.
basically how it will work is if you pick it you just been shown a screen where you can see the fleets health/stats on a bar like the one in the current system but there will be no cinematic and you can pick the 3 cards and it tell you what happens.

avoid loadingscreen?
Not every battle is tactically interesting. Sometimes you just want to get it quickly over with rather than spending 5 minutes on it. But you can't always trust "auto" to take care of it the way you want.

that not the point what the mode is to allow YOU to control the fight without needing to view the cinematic or let the AI do it, I also think this would help out in MP, due to both players can be in control without needing to waste time.
also its not text as as such you will see the health bars like you do normally and can mouse over them for their stats/equip and chose the 3 cards for the battle

I like this idea a lot, but I think the main reason for this is because no one wants to have to enter into a battle just to play the retreat card. I think a better alternative to an entirely new system/mode would be the simple option of setting up macros (similar to FFXII, but it wouldn't even need to be that complicated) for each individual ship class. If I send colonizers or scouts out, I don't ever want them to engage the enemy when confronted; on the off chance I do, I'll hit "Manual". Being able to set one default action/set of actions for specific fleets/ship classes would save so much time.
I have my both hands for this mode, usually I just want hero to use his strong ability and automatic would save lots of time and eliminate routine. The chosen battles that you want to directly see would be more impressive in that case.
Yup, that's the one. It has been voted a little while ago and marked as "tracked" on the forums in this thread. It's on our Improve List and I'm not allowed to comment more on this and I'll just place my "Teasing" card.
