This is my biggest complaint as well and was described verbatim! Please guys change this and it has been said that we should have more options for speeding up research.

Last thing for me is since you can change the game speed before you start the game can you please add that option while a game is in progress for multi player? I know that it is possible to do it in single player but not in multi player.

Oh, and there definitely needs to be a way to turn off the auto-focus when you zoom it. Getting stuck on fighters and having your view scrolled around as you're trying to select stuff is just annoying.

If there isn't already support for mice WITHOUT a middle button. (Such as a track mouse that instead has four buttons instead of three.)

Something REALLY must be done about when a player leaves a 2v2 or any online match. To play a 2v2 for 2 hours and then one of the players has to leave...it is VERY frustrating to suddenly just see everyone quit. Had that player stayed the 2v2 could of been finished in perhaps 3 hours or so....especially since it was not an extremely large map.

ALLOW the remaining team member the use of the units of the player that leaves.

Let me give an example.

We start a 2v2. My team member and I build prepare...fend of pirates...have some small strikes on the other team for about an hour. Just as we are starting to see the battle lines drawn one of the players on the other team says he has to leave. Immediately EVERYONE gets upset and frustrated...as even his REMAINING team member is basically sitting alone and we cannot do much. No longer is it a fair fight. No longer is it the 2v2 we ELECTED to play in the first place. Also...the remaining player doesn't surrender he quits...which I believe means we have to finish killing all of their buildings...planets...etc....even THOUGH THEY ARE BOTH GONE. VERY FRUSTRATING and a waste of time.

Great game...GREAT GAME...but FIX this issue by allowing unit control of your allies "stuff" and also...do something about the way you win games...and the quit/surrender system. With a good system like that in place tied to records...it will promote people caring enough to finish battles they begin. THANKS!!!!

I'd like the ability to garrison ships around planets. I try and setup defence fleets but the ships seem to wander off. I'd like Siege Frigs to not be able to bomb until all the defences have been destroyed around a planet. In the tutorial, I got the impression that would be how it works. I was surprised when I got the crap bombed out of me with several turrets left standing. I'd also like a high score list, either comparable on line ala GalCiv2, or just personal best ala Civilizations.

I'd love to see negative percent modifiers being displayed as actual percent decrease.

For example - 'flux field' shows

antimatter : 300%

whereas actual effect is:

antimatter cost reduction: 75%

or simply:

antimatter cost: -75%


Similary for i.e. 'replusion field':

max speed: 1000%

should be rather

max speed: -91%


For 'gravity warhead' (at level 3):

max acceleration: 120%

as

max acceleration: -55%

etc. etc.


IMHO - it's far more informative and actually reflects the actual effect.


(or alternatively, just use percents in natural way - for mentioned gravity warhead, simply -0.38 / -0.45 / -0.55)

After you have worked your way up the tec tree eighty to one hundred times, it gets a tad tedious. Can we have a Battle of the GODs option (BoG)? I find the BoG to be great fun playing Galatic Civilizations II as it presents a differnet set of challenges when you level the field for tech.

people still don't seem to realize just how much of a beast hangar defenses are. yes there's a limit to their power but they are much better than the turrets. they are more powerful and their range in the entire gravity well unlike the guns.

Well, all they need to do to fix this is have "Cease Fire" 'On' for everyone by default. This would allow anyone to break the cease fire who wanted to, while avoiding those accidental shootings we all have come to know and love.


This game is so awesome btw, I am racking my brain for ideas, will post later when I come up with some that haven't been mentioned as there have been some great ones. The initial list was definitely great too. In short, it's all great, and let's get default cease fire.

Get the AI build ships other than Siege ships. It's boring just fighting against the same one. I went through one game where the AI only built seige ships and cap ships.

Oh, I don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but a Tactical Slots button under Search to go along with the Logistics Slots one would be handy.

In game clock like the replays have!!! This is a must feature

I had some 'new ideas' instead of bug fixes - since those are well covered. Both of my ideas stem from purchasing in game.

1) Allow items to be 'flagged to buy'. Have a queue of flagged to buy items, and once my resources hit the sufficient amount to buy the top item of the queue, it is auto-purchased. This allows me to queue up my progression and forget about it, and work on other things.

2) Allow items to be purchased 'later'. Something similar to what is in Gal Civ 2. Where you can buy now, and pay monthly fees that total to a higher price to have the item now, and pay for it later. I would restrict this to fleets/buildings only (no research or planetary upgrades). This would negatively affect the economy over time, but allow players to get things up and running quicker.
