Beta3b bug...

from Stardock Forums
My colony ships keep trying to colonize stars on the way to the ones I auto move them to... it's very annoying seeing as the planets the try to colonize usually only have class 3-5 planets.

It seems the pathfinding is hosed up. VERY VERY annoying. Where's my whip...

I think you will find lots of caffeine and leg irons work better then a whip :)

Hope you dont mind me jumping your thread, i would rather do this as its entitled bugs rather than proliferate another one

anyway, couple of quick comments

- the galactic map scrolling is lovely and smoooth now it seems. The text in the planet lists fits lovely. Did i notice implementation of the trade routes? the screen map image looks great. Hole thing is starting to feel more polished.

comments:

trade map and screen - can you tell me where it shows total trade values? Also could the trade route indicate it is selected on the new mini trade galactic map when you highlight it on the list?

the sector influence button is reporting zero for all sectors for the first time, even your own

the scroll bar on the planet list is not as effective (i.e I cant drag it) unlike the ship scroll

I have mentioned this before but didnt explain it well. The list of production for each planet is not sorted in order (I think) as the actual order selected by the autoGovenor.This is why I asked for a help function to interogate the production list for the benefits of the production without clicking on it in the production window as this actually selects it for production. This can occasionally be confusing if you forget what you were producing as you can not determine this from the order of the production list on the screen.

sound on my Audigy card (running xp) is a bit scary as I get major squeeks and pops due to soud corruption - had this throughout beta3 not improved with 3b

Game continues to get better all the time.

We'll be modifying the sound code significantly in the near future. I think that it shows the current value from a trade route / estimated total from trade route on the domestic trade screen. I'll make the change to the trade minimap.

It says below the list what you're currently building.

i am talking about total revenues for all trade routes
yest it shows teh current item you are building - until you click on any other one to see what it does. After that - as the sequence of builds in the list is not sorted in the order selected you lose track. I dont seem to be getting this last point across so i am going to give up now
