I respectfully disagree with most of what op suggested. With the exception of: -Genocidal rabbits -Being able to do something between survey ships and planets. -Possibly to do some mining or maybe outposts on dead planets. This being said, I do not know what SD have in their feature list that we still do not know yet but with all the announced features this game is already going to be huge. I think it would be wise to not push for too many brand

[quote who="Nomada_Firefox" reply="91" id="3456684"] Kickstarter=blackmail. I do not like this type of way for the creation of games, nobody guarantees the release from the game and I´m sure that there are many proyects which they will not be finished even a million of years. If people want make games or other things selling them at the end, they should not use this system. At least from me, they will not take a $.[/quote] I think KickStarter is

[quote who="DARCA1213" reply="6" id="3456555"] Max, Max, Max one percent can mean the difference between having that tech completed in time or having enough money to buy a ship. One percent over a Empire of a hundred systems or even one, is worth taking the time to plan and the wheel takes a bit more time. That's not cool. :[ DARCA.

[quote who="ParagonRenegade" reply="4" id="3456546"] but I would like it to have more friction and be harder to move, which would make being precise much easier.[/quote] Harder to move? Not sure im following your there. But if you are referring to the removal of the slight rubber banding effect between your mouse cursor and the wheel dot I agree. Edit : Also, I just tried dialing in more asymetrical values such as 50%- 15%- 35% . It seems much harder than sym

The colors on the wheel are rather saturated despite my monitor having a cool/neutral tint. I guess to someone with a already colorful saturated display, they might seem excessive. It is still possible to set exact values on the wheel, It is just going to maybe take you 5 sec instead of 2. I just tried the 60/20/20 example I gave and it was easy. I guess what SD could do regarding the govern screen, is simply not hide the rest of the UI when you are in it. This way you c

Personally I find it great. As far as ease of use and being able to tune it to the values I want I have no problems. I did not need any adaptation, it was just natural to use. Maybe it is not the case for everyone, our brains do not all function the same, but personally I find it obvious to use. The 3 sliders were really annoying to use because they were interrelated, so moving one would change the other. The lock mechanism was slightly buggy and the whole thing felt convolute

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="80" id="3456463"] So... anyone taking the chance to change his submitted name to Imastar? [/quote] Hope the devs have a plan for duplicate names, Now everybody will want to name their star Imastar and we will have multiple Imastars in the game. I also officially retract my 5$ paypal gift offer. That promo is expired.

I think it should be auto-upgrade by default, like GalCiv 2, but with an option to turn this feature completely off in the game options. Personally I would leave it always off. But I think It should be on by default. Edit: To clarify my position, we do not know yet how desirable auto-upgrade will be in the final version of GalCiv III, but in galciv II, it was annoying.

[quote quoting="post"] 1. While my ship was moving I saw an anomaly and clicked on it but the ship completed the original planned move first and then doubled back to the anomaly. [/quote] I had noticed that too. Funny way to set waypoints uh? The thing is that it does not seem to always do that. Sometimes It will simply not register the change, or register it but usually after a lag. I had myself some fun torturing the game b

Well, I just posted on the Game website forum. Ill wait and see if there is something getting posted back. I also had terrible flickering in the pictrure. I had to completely disable shadows for it to stop. There is also a lot of tearing with no V-sync option. I will have to fix this through my windows main video card settings I guess. If I can: -Get the game to work in borderless window mode -Get the shadows without

Well, I just tried the game for 10 min. And while it seems like it could be lots of fun. The camera and scrolling controls seem.... HORRIBLY BROKEN. Basically all you can do is scroll from the edge of screen, or click somewhere on the mini map. The edge scrolling is snail pace so completely usesless, and I cannot see any options to change it anywhere in the game. All I am left to do is click on the mini map to move around quickly. You cannot eve

I used to hate Steam, I boycotted them for years. But I have changed my mind lately. When you think about it they have done some great things, and they fixed a lot of the stuff I did not like about the client. They are also pushing Linux forward into the game market. So they get my approval now.

I suspect Shipyards will be very similar to Starbase as in you can build upgrade modules to them, Including defense modules. I also suspect that they will be linked to planets in the same way that Asteroid mines are linked to planets in GalCiv2. I.E: you would see a thin moving line between the planet and shipyard representing the moving of resources .
