Thank you Aro325 Yes, the moving ship and phase jumping issues have been popular. We are exploring options for both. All excellent suggestions DeadlyShoe. We are addressing most of these..thanks.

I am new to this game, having only found out about it recently from a friend. That being said, please bear with me if these questions have already been asked. 1. Will there be random events (rogue asteroids, solar storms, etc.)? 2. Does this take place in our galaxy and will we see our solar system? 3. Can planets be terraformed? 4. Will we see city lights on colonized planets? I didn't see any on the screenshots that I looked at.<br
Great shot Pucci! Love the angle.
I mostly play zoomed out so I can actually tell what's going on, and since my computer is far from top-end. That is good to know. We want to make sure the game is accessible to as many as we can.
..... make the way to see experienced ships easier... when i am attacking an enemy in a huge battle i want to take of the experienced ones first..... I'm glad you're having a blast TFLFatal. You've been posting for so long, nice to finally see you in the game! We are currently exploring different variations of the ship icons to help make this easier for everyone.
As I understand, the camera will stay focused on the sub-selected ship witin the group. Let me look into this further for you.
When a capital ship is waiting for formation jump, fighters seem to have more trouble auto-docking. You can see this happening here . The fighters fly into the ship without docking, then fly out again. Statistics-keeping: I noted that for some reason one of my enemies managed to reach negative Squads. I don't know how. Hi DeadlyShoe! Thanks for the heads up. We are look
Thanks Nekentros, This is something that we have been exploring.
#4. Speaking of Homeworld, I used to love the blinking navigation lights. They made the ships look so lonely and added a lot to the game atmosphere. I hope SoaSE will also be adding navigation lights on ships and structures. We plan on adding more lights and effects on ships/structures in future builds. Just to makes sure they are working properly for you, can you check your repair or broadcast center?
The AI can be evil But don't forget, so can you! moohahah
Not to mention the skybox having some nebulae, gas clouds, stars of course, and maybe some other interesting stellar phenomena. Could the game get anymore orange? Thanks for the post Jam. Could you please send me a screenshot. It is possible that your gas clouds and stars are not working properly. There should be many stars in the skybox and gas cloud clusters throughout the galaxy. Thanks!
Yes, absolutely! Just go to Menu > Options > User Interface > Cinematic Camera. At one point we had this in-game, but we decided to take it out to clean up the UI. If there is sufficient demand we may consider bringing it back. In the meantime you can use Ctrl+Shift+Z to hide the UI. Enjoy!
If you would like to stay focused on a selected object by default you can use the attached camera option. Look for the little lock (or camera when toggled) button at the top, near the center of the UI With this option you can move the camera about all you like but you can still zoom along the same path towards the object.
I am having issues getting fleets organized. The damn ships look real similar when zoomed out.... Thanks lordkosc. There will be another pass on all icons to make sure they are more distinct when zoomed out.
Wow, you really thought that one through. Thanks Jam3
I find that panel to be almost totally useless in its current state for controlling my empire...About all I use it for after the very beginning is selecting an individual ship out of a crowded system. Thanks for your input! There have been several other related comments about the empire tree as well. We have some helpful fixes in the works that should make the tree easier to manage for you.
Welcome aboard LodossKnight! Great to have you.
Thanks guys! Issue is being addressed.
We will post a detailed developer explanation later, but first I would like to challenge everyone with some beta-tester questions 1) How would you expect trade posts to work? 2) What kind of influence would you expect culture posts/culture to have? Using only the game and your own expectations what can you come up with?
Most of the screenshots dont looks as pretty as some of the ones they gave us before Hehe, dont worry GreatEmperor, they are getting better with every new submission in the screenshot post Here are a few little screenshot pointers for everyone a)Use
After looking over your post again Smith, I think I misunderstood. I was referring to the info card that pops up on the bottom right of the screen. Correct me if I am wrong, but you are having issues with the news box that displays at the top center of the screen right? We have this on the list for review. It will be less intrusive in future builds
hey guys, sorry this is kinda brief but might as well put it out there. i was wondering if sins will have a hot key fixed to auto focus the whole galaxy map that is being played. so instead of having a fast wheel zoom out you can have an alternate key ie., X, space, keys. For those that prefer to use the UI you can also click the zoom toggle - just to the left of the diplomacy button on the top, near the center. Depending on your current zoom level, it w
I wish it was possible to select all ships of one type on the screen by double clicking a ship. It doesn't seem to work... The double click is reserved for focusing the camera on an object. If you would like to select all ships of a given type (within the gravity well) just hold down alt and click any ship. This works in the Main view and Empire view. Has anyone been using this already? If not, it's your next mission. Let us know if it feels in
Is there a way to dismantle gauss cannons that you don't want anymore? Also the same goes for any building that you might have placed where you don't want it now. Absolutely, although I'm not authorized to tell you just yet Explore the UI and report back to base.
Great shots ServiusVivo! I see you run a high upkeep as well
