What do you mean by "Planets don't controll fleet cap"? In the final you mean?
What controlls fleet cap then? is the upgrade fleet cap option in the planatary upgrades menu going to be replaced or just nixed completly?

And yes 5-6 could be swiched, in my mind they are happening at the same time or withing a few seconds of each other (queing fidgates while military research is building)

I think the its a good point to relate the changes being made going into the final. This is beta after all nd it seems like some issues are being/have been adressed.

Really Im glad that the tech tree is changing as it seems to be the main sorce of my confusion. Also the planatary upgrades are tough as to when to use them (like explore planet)

Theres just so much more to do then build an army..It's hard to focus on one thing or another.

grrrr... i hate you... so many secrets!

Nice touch.

I prefer..baa-ZING!

Woah Hoe!! saw some new screens on gamespot....getttingg excited...looooks really cool...new diplomacy stuff with wanted poster type stuff and a peek of the new ships....looking good...and the new UI for the research tree...(droool) muuuuch better
(yay we all already own the game)!!!!!!!!

hmm, i'm not sure but i misssing a feature
in the old(beta4) and NEW diplomatic screen.

Pls make a option for higher send on bounty, credits metal and krystal.

Please, please, or install a scound button with 1000 charge my mouse button on the left side will thank you that very well

in sight of big games, a bounty of 80.000 credits will be a mission when done in 100 steps

a glorius solution will be an button by right kick the button switch from 100 to 1000 to 5000 and back to 100 for example.

greetings for the realy good way of the game and his development

Use "shift" to increase the amount sold / bought / what have you.

LOL it's cool, I laughed. I type really fast and I never go back to correct anything or spellcheck or whatever. Only if it's an official type post on the RTS union board or somthing. Its apathy really plain and simple.

Sorry if these have been mentioned before, got through some pages, but just WAY to many to go through:

- Cant cancel the bombardment planetary upgrades(top row, 2nd column, forget name)
- Queue for planetary upgrades doesnt seem to work right, if i go infastructure>tactics>tactics>explore>explore>infastructure, as long as the 2nd infastructure is added, BEFORE the first one is finished, it starts on the 2nd infastructure, rather then going to tactics. Kinda anoying, when you just want the construction ship from infastructure, not the points for it....
- When some ships enter a sun gravity well, they sometimes goto a head stop even thou they have a destination, IE ship is at planet 1, planet 2 is destination, need to go through suns gravity well to get there. Once ship enters suns gravity well, ship doesnt move, however it still draws a destination line.
- Pirate bases can be taken by culture(I pointed this out in B3, as something that shouldnt happen, Pirates dont care about your movies and music, they shouldnt convert via culture)
- Pirate bases should be things, even its limited to defence platforms. Maybe they get resources/$ from everyone they kill.
- The "rebels" from the anoying TEC research(top level) that i cant remember, should be atleast the same ships the race uses, if i understand the description correctly.
- Anoying missing string error, for when a planet is almsot taken over via culture.
- Game seems to crash sometimes, when pirates enter a system(I have a save just before a crash happens, ive reproduced it a few times by just loading save). Very weird issue/problem, its not 100% clear its the pirates.
- When selecting a target for pirate attacks, they arent very smart, Ive had them choose a target with 6 level 8+ capital ships, and several defence platforms, Over a planet with 2X as many def platforms, but only 1 capital ship.
- Asari gravity torpedo seems strange, ive had it fire at a group of ships, and sometimes if the target ship is destroyed, before it impacts it does nothing, othertimes it has an effect. Also, i cant seem to get it to target empty space all the time(99% sure ive had it work atleast once)
- If you mod a game map(IE kornaks cross) to have more artifacts then there are types, game should NOT have more then 1 artifact/type in the game, IE if theres 8 types, you tell the game to have 10 artifacts, it should not duplicate/triplicate any to fill the missing 2 slots. Or if it does, have them stack a little bit. Kinda anoying to have 3 kinetic intensifiers and no change after 1st.
- EXP from kills is still divided amongst ships, even if some of them are at max level, another thing i posted in B3. I dont know if it was decided that was ok, i can see why, however it is still very anoying, when ships in at a sun are leveling faster then a single ship being escorted by 2 max level ones destroying a solar system. At the very least, decrease the % share for maxed ships, so that a bit more is divided between ships that arent max XP
- When looking at the end game screen>capital ship level, highest it says i have is levle 9, even thou i had 2 level 10s. Screen only seems to count upto level 9
- The stats on the next level of capital ship power should be shown, instead of the current ones. IE the asari battleships shield regen/ROF skill(first on left) should show the rates for level 2, when you already have level 1 and are mousing over it in the upgrade screen.
- Skills that dont show an increase in effects, but last longer each level should say so, its confusing when the shown stats on a skill dont change from level 1>2, 2>3.

Ya, i figured that, unfortunatly ive been busy and such, hence why im posting so late in beta. Atleast i got a "most" not an "all", dont know if this stuff has been mentioned, doubt it thou:

- Loading a saved game, centers on your original homeworld(one at start of game) not your current homeworld, should however focus on what you were looking at when you saved the game.
- The news doesnt seem to report all events where a capital ship gains a level.
- Asari research Returning armada should NOT default to auto/active on phase gates, should be upto the player to use it.
- Better warnings for culture taking over a player's planet, right now it goes from nothing to the string error/planet is almost gone. Hard to keep track of/prevent in large games, should have a warning when enemy culture first spreads to a planet.
- Planets that are being influenced by enemy culture should have a indicator of how "far" the enemy culture has spread into the planet, IE x% of planet is taken over, shouldnt be hard since theres news events tied to how long until a planet is lost.
- Time stamps on saves(id die if this wasnt mentioned before)
- Queued research should have a number for the position in the que, even if it only say shows next 5.

Phase Gate: I no longer research that tech, because its the most anoying thing out there, atleast the TEC version doesnt waste pop cap with random ships.

Research: using current system, if i queue up enough items i get the "not everything listed, cause you cant scroll mouseover" issue. Which is really anoying, when i sometimes need to change the order of things. As to how, right now current item is glowing, add a 1-5 for the next 5 items in the queue on the actual square for the research.

Ya, culture is crazy atm, i belive i had 6 culture centres at a planet, 84 culture/sec... took no time to take over that system. It helped cause it was a foothold into the enemy home system thou lol.

he's talking about returning armada.

just make sure you assassinate the whale while your enemy tries to move it around. admitedly though, akkan is very weak in comparison.
