Hi all,
I played a few hours with the beta 1, winning one game. Here is what I think:
- Ships are very nice
- zoomed in Map is quite good but unexplored space is quite bland
- zoomed out map lack information, in particular, currently selected ship is not displayed. This interact badly with the idle ship button
- Scroll speed should be proportional to the zoom level so that speed is constant in "screen" space unit
- Better population tooltip: show groth speed and factor affecting it
- production popup are not very usefull. Displaying all building bonus on one row, then all starbase bonus, then the other bonus and then the total percentage bonus would probably make a less busy and text heavy tooltip while conveying more informations. Maybe add how the raw production is computed: pop * percentage -> result or something like this.
- Showing civil and military manufacturing (at least in tool tip) would help
- Manage colony manufacturing slider is missing civil/military icon.
-
Allow idle shipyard: sometimes I don't need more ship. it could be a special build item or a pause button. sponsor planet would have all their manufacturing going to civil project
-
add a special military / shipyard item to colony production queue which make the whole production go to shipyard?
I also found a few bugs, I am not sure how to report them:
- Raw manufacturing not displayed in the tool tip, neither is high approval bonus
- Edge scrolling not working
- on planet screen, an hexe with Precious metal did show any icon
- We can see wormhole through the unexplored space (seems like they are draw, then hex are draw on top to hide them but at the intersection between the tile (corner) we ca see one colored pixel flickering...)
Otherwise the build was very stable, no crash, no big issue.
Thanks for the game and keep up the good work!
