Time for me to ask for features...

What would a week be without me bugging the devs for features? :D

1) In the governor's screen, can we get a cost for each item on the social projects list? It would make building that list a bit easier. As it is now, I have to pop between two+ screen to do so.

2) For those of us who play builders and love starbases (whee!) would it be possible to set rally points or something? It's kind of tiresome having to send every single one of the 2 Constructors built per turn off to a location.

3) What's the purpose of the multiple governors? Can I assign ones to individual sectors/planets?

4) Can the label for "Auto-survey" appear when you activate it, and not on the next turn?

5) I've noticed I'm getting the same 2 random events (super soldier serum and undead project) all the time. Is there more and I'm just not getting them?

6) I've mentioned this before, but a major race surrendering to a minor race needs reworking. Either it shouldn't happen or the minor race should be promoted to major.

7) Whenever Xeno-whatever shows up, it gets printed on the screen as "X********eno Mani", where the *'s are spaces.

Umm, that's about it. LOL I've found a couple String not Founds on some of the improvements, but I can't get at my galciv computer right now to check where.

I wondered about the X*****************eno management tech myself.

Yes.

I agree with #2. It'd be nice if there were some sort of macromanagment tool for starbase building.

'5) I've noticed I'm getting the same 2 random events (super soldier serum and undead project) all the time. Is there more and I'm just not getting them?'

There are twelve events right now, IIRC.

The game does show a preference for certain types of objects/events, that seems to change randomly between games.

'I wondered about the X*****************eno management tech myself.'

The 'X eno' techs are like that because of a problem in the font.

1-2) added to my list of suggestions

4) Probably. I'll bring it up with Scott.

6) Usually by the time that a major race surrenders, though, it's not much more powerful than a minor race, so it's not terribly increasing the minor race's power.

'5)' -- Even after several game save/restores I have not seen this on 3A. The way you describe it sounds like what we had on the beta 2 builds. Did you start this game on Build 3A?

I have the same problem as 5 and I started with 3A. I thought it was just that it wasn't fully fleshed out...

Nope. It actually seems that whenever I play any game, I get only two events. In my last one I got the "tasty but deadly disease" one repeatedly (what, me? evil?) and the super soldier serum.

As for 6, you'd be surprised. Usually it happens when I'm playing the esponage game - I destabalize for a while, they give up. I've had the number 1 race give up to a minor race because I bankrupted them.
