We've got a treat for you tonight...

The aliens are now somewhat animated (just starting but you can see where it's going).

And the diplomacy system is quite a bit nicer. Rather than having some "advisor" tell you if a deal is good or not, we have the color of your proposal change based on whether they'll accept or reject it.

This way, we can do away with having some sort of auto-barter (which takes away a lot of the skill involved).

Heey. I just got home after a 16h pass of work. And now this? When will ya let me get some sleep? Right - I can sleep when I get old. :)

I like the overall graphics improvements, and the new techscreen alot, since it's clearer what the research gives.

However the sector display seems broken, the last digit is only a "-" here.

Hehe I thougt you saved the pretty surface view for the details page but this is nice too :) I suppose it will show when I scroll thorough the planet list too I suppose? (and the arrows on the planet view) Please play a little with the arrows (both the planet- and system- mode) and the planetlist. I got two crashes right out to windows (without anything in the debug.err or smartexception) when I played with that to see which situations that got the pretty surface view.

I still miss info in the ship-info box about ships in orbit. It'd be great if one could click on a ship in orbit to obtain info about it. (without first sending it out of orbit).

Ok, perhaps it's my PC that's acting strange, but now Ive managed to get thrown out to windows twice while playing with the "speak-to" too. I just selected all items on my opponents side, or tried anyway. That just got me to windows without any .err-info or smartexception. Do I need to have smartexception running? Or just installed?

Odds are you are trying to trade TOO much stuff at once.

The broken sectordisplay got fixed when I reinstalled. And I couldnt reproduce the surface-view/planet list/system view crash to windows either. But the trade-to-much thing still crashes my game.

Hard to believe there's still 7 months of work still to go. ;)

Things have come a long way since February and they're going to get much better before December (gold master date).

I like how things have progressed. But in a game like this it revolves around diplomacy trade and the united planets. how do you even get to the united planets?
