First, I’d like to say that this is a great game even in it’s beta state.
I’m sure that some of these bugs have been logged before…
Bugs:
-
Ship/Fleet Naming - Holding down shift for an extended period causes the first keyboard character typed to show up multiple times. (ie. when naming a ship/fleet, just hold shift for like 3-5 seconds, then tap ‘A’ will result in “AAAA”.)
-
Ship/Fleet Naming - Saved names only appear in lower case.
-
Ship Deployment - Highlighting a ship (using click+drag box) or multiple ships does not actually select them, the user will have to manually click on a ship before the orders/ship display box will update. This is the most annoying bug I’ve found so far, as I often end up changing orders for a ship that I didn’t mean to select.
-
Ship Deployment - User should be able to hold down a keyboard key (shift?) in order to manually select multiple ships.
-
Ships with surge protector equipped can still be affected by surge weapons.
-
I’ve noticed friendly ships still fire at cloaked enemy ships, although I don’t think they are doing any damage.
-
I’m not sure if this is in the game or not, but there does not seem to be any way to delete a ship design or fleet layout.
Nice to have:
-
Being able to copy/clone/paste ships along with orders in the fleet deployment screen.
-
Being able to move any popup windows such as tutorial info, orders window, etc.
-
When issuing an escort order, it would be nice if the user was able to set the leash distance manually.
-
An undo button in fleet deployment screen.
-
An order so ships can avoid firing on specific ships or class of ships. If I have a big cruiser with only megaton missiles, I should be able to tell it not to waste time trying to shoot down fighters. Even with the engage fighters order deleted, they still do.
-
Would be very nice to show crew & cost of ships on the actual ship icon in the fleet deployment screen.
-
Allow user to click anywhere on a slider bar to instantly set slider to that position. Instead of having to click and drag every time.
-
A hotkey to be able to quickly set formation or escort order.
Anyways, keep up the good work!
