I haven’t taken the time to fully explore everything people have voiced so I apologise if any of the issues I note here haven been spotted, I’ve omitted the ones I’ve seen scanning the forum.

A primary point of frustration for me as someone who enjoys the spectacle element of watching the battles unfold, is the fact it’s very apparent the turrets don’t appear in battle. IMPORTANT: Before this point is dismissed, I am aware the turrets issue seems to have been fixed for user ship designs saved using update 1.29. However the default enemy ship designs in the missions still feature this issue; no turret layers appearing - although any lighting effect elements do appear if it helps narrow it down. I thought originally it might have something to do with an issue with the rotating sections however this seems to have been fixed. I’m not sure how feasible it is to apply a fix to designs the game is using for enemy ships or if it’s better to start over.

There has been in previous releases an issue with the exhaust components beyond the angle they’re rotated not transferring (which I see has been mentioned.) The issue I point out is some exhaust components apparently cease to appear once selected, and it seems to be connected to the number of exhaust components which appear in a design. You can select one and it functions normally, include a second and the exhaust graphic seems to “die out” - almost as if it’s jumping to some sort of process it’s supposed to one a ship becomes stationary. Again - if it’s fixed, I wonder if there is the possibility the issue will still remain for existing enemy ship designs, as they already look a little daft with only one side of their engines firing.

Lost save designs is still a thing - not sure how much progress is being made on this.

I think it would be very nice (within whatever prescribed limits the game is able to handle) to be able to design both opposing sides and formations and pit them against each other as opposed to having to do it just using single player with missions. Maybe I’m being insular in not wanting to go head-to-head with other people’s, but I think it’d be an interesting feature that shouldn’t be too hard to do.
Anyway - that’s it, fantastic piece of software - hope it goes from strength to strength.
