This is a list of features that I hope to add to The Naval Register soon.  Each one includes the date that it was added to the list, to let you know how long the idea has been sitting around.  Send in your suggestions and you might find them added here!

 

* Opened on 2007.06.24; Status=Open

Add support to After Action Reports to track nationality, ship name, and player name.  Not all players will want to track these elements, so they must be optional.  Further, allow searching/sorting of AARs based on player name.

 

* Opened on 2007.06.24; Status=Open

Add ability for software to generate graphical maps for each scenario.  

 

* Opened on 2007.06.24; Status=Planned for v1.2

Implement fields/forms/reports to allow user-designed scenarios to have full features (background, hypothetical situation, player info, map configuration, weather conditions, special rules, special victory conditions, etc).

 

"[I]t is something surprising that we ... should not yet have established any regular rules for the orderly and expeditious performance of the several evolutions necessary to be made in a fleet." 

 

- Admiral Kempenfelt writing to Middleton, in 1780, regarding the need for the British Admiralty to establish a formal system of teaching naval tactics.
