My response was curt and abrupt. I should not have responded as I did. I know you are only trying to help and I appreciate it. However, perhaps I should explain my credentials.

[quote who="EvilMaxWar" reply="4" id="3456508"] I really should play a game where I just build up and see how the game holds itself at larger scale. I always just rush my enemies and make a quick work of the game. For the sake of testing I should stop that. [/quote] So do I, and so should I. This game is the most fun I have seen for an Alpha, especially this early.

[quote who="Nukar" reply="1" id="3456497"] I beleive this is more an overall issue where the game isnt keeping up with player speed. aka not updating fast enough [/quote] Maybe, but on my PC I don't think so. The game still hasn't used more than a third of the power available to it, and the turns are lightning fast.

Sometimes when I grab a scroll bar to drag it to where I want it, the scroll bar will stick to the mouse pointer when I release the mouse button and not remain where I wanted to leave it.

Spending/economy wheel difficulty. in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

I have found a problem with the economy wheel. As the available resources increase, precise setting of the wheel's results becomes increasingly difficult, to the point where precision becomes impossible. Some additional control of the movement granularity is needed.

[quote who="Raynman" reply="3" id="3456432"] Similar to the great point that Econundrum1 made. The reason you are seeing this is because the prefs file is wiped at the start. We do this to reduce the amount of critical issues that could arise and prevent player from being able to play the game. This will happen early in development and continue until it becomes less of a needed preventative measure. Thanks for the feedback![/quote] Come to think of it, I remember this happening

I just captured a planet (Altaria), PQ=12, that only has 11 buildable tiles.

Planet map developable tiles doesn't match planet quality in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

In GC2 the terraformable tiles (yellow bordered) were not counted against the planet quality. Instead, the terraforming of those tiles INCREASED the planet's PQ. So far, in GC3, it looks like the yellow bordered tiles count against the planet's PQ. This doesn't make sense. I also have a PQ 6 planet with only 4 buildable tiles (no terraformable tiles).

[quote who="Ekythump" reply="7" id="3456245"] I think its just basically due to the fact it belongs to the other empire if it's in its influence. I could be wrong though.[/quote] I have colonized planets that were in another race's zone of influence. A response I saw from StarDock makes me think they have a handle on what the problem is.

0.0.2.0 - Survey ship on survey doesn't use up move points after anomaly in GalCiv III Support GalCiv3 Forums

When a survey ship on auto survey examines an anomaly and still has move points left, it doesn't use up the remaining move points, and the "next turn" button is allowed to show up. EDIT: This is on 0.0.2.0, but I think it also happened on build 1.
