Hello,
Heres my top 3 must fix items:
1) The Turn sequence. In case my little diatribe in another post didn't clue you in
. Returning focus before the turn sequence is complete is really really annoying especially in the larger maps when the turns take longer. I've lost movement points because a ship started to move when it wasn't the one I wanted or its gone to the wrong place because the focus changed while I was doing something. (Sure you could say its user error, have to wait for Turn button to come back BUT it shouldn't be possible for the user to enter commands beyond answering questions generated by the turn sequence, ie. colonize this planet, upgrade starbase)
Number 2, would be the automatic jump from one ship whose movement points have been used up to the next ship. Just because a ship moves to where I told it to go doesn't mean I don't want to look around when it gets there, perhaps I want to set a new destination for that ship based on the lifting of the Fog of War around it? Sending the view to the other side of a huge galaxy means I lose time trying to find the ship that just moved so I can look around, after all the Find button doesn't locate ships that have moved. The auto change in focus is seriously annoying!
Number 3, the inability to find a planet by entering its name. I should be able to do Ctrl-F and enter the start of a planet name and cycle through the various star systems that match until I find what I'm looking for. I certainly can't remember where planet xyz is just by looking at my trade route tables. Or perhaps I'm too quick on the last turn summary to hit next. There is no way to quickly find the planet that came just before in the turn summary without a long haul manual search through the planet listing....(which seriously needs a scroll bar or something rather than just up and down arrows..but I digress)
Crashes to desktop obviously must be fixed but fall outside the game playability items listed above and are taken as a given.
P.S. there is lots in the game that make it enjoyable this is just my top 3 hit list or wish list
