Sugestions from playing the demo |
I don't like essays, so i'm going to bullet point them.
- Allow rotation in battle view (would be great for videos too)
- A reset button for the above so you don't mess up your view, one that defaults to the starting view
- Ability to drag a group of ships/units in the placement mode
- Ability to turn on/off view in battle view (while in battle i mean)
- Somebody mentioned having ships escort, even if they have no weapons (except for point defence for example).
If I think of more, i'll add to this post
More mouse options
How about selectable locking of the mouse movements?
I am running the game on a small 10" laptop for travel. SEIV always has worked fine. With SEV, I cannot run with the VIDEO MEMORY USAGE in AUTO- only in SAFE as it distorts most but not all the images with horizonatl lines. I also cannot run the DISPLAY DRIVER in DISPLAY-PRIMARY as I get intermittent game blinking every few secs.
What happens in DISPLAY- PRIMARY is that the mouse movements work for all 4 sides of the screen. In the other selection for DISPLAY DRIVER which is my only other choice,( latest drivers) is that the screen size is slightly larger (not by much) irregardless of the VIDEO MODE (screen size) so I only get 2 sides of mouse movement ie top and left or bottom and right etc. This has not been adjustable by me at this point in time. Maybe I can find something but no luck so far.
Its also too easy to diturb the mouse by accident and scroll the map off.
My problem is after the
My problem is after the installation of the demo, I can't start the game, there is an error msg like this:

Anyone know why?
Re-install Demo
Try and re-install the demo. I think it fixes this problem.

"First Contact"!?
-When we save our game I think we should not be able to see the number and names/flags of the other empires until we actually meet them. "First Contact"!?
Can't seem to edit existing
Can't seem to edit existing posts so I'm gonna have to slap another suggestion here.
- In battle view, left click dragging to be enabled on the bottom left minimap (at the moment left clicking there takes you to where you clicked, but you cannot drag it around)
"Move item to top" and "Move item to bottom".
-In the consruction queue: reorder queue: we have have "Move item up" and "Move item down". I want back the options to " Move item to top" and "Move item to bottom".
to see the three or more queued up like in SEIV
-----In the Construction Queues main screen it can show only the current item being constructed. I want to see the three or more queued up like in SEIV. This will allow me to know that I need to add more items when only one is left.
I agree.
That one option alone would make me use that screen as much as I did in SEIV. As it is now, I prefer to only check it to see who's queue is empty.

Planet/Warp Placement
Continuing with this post.
- In the simulator, the ability to move planets and warp points around.
- Again in the simulator, the ability to make ships come out of a warp point (you could do this by giving the WP a 'cargo' that you can put ships in.)
planet placement
you can move planets and vehicles when you use the simulator,but warp points and stars cant be moved. To move planets and ships, you just have to click the place vehicle button right above the start button
Mouse Options
Can there please be an option for "typical RTS" mouse operation? I'de like to be able to customize it so:
