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.
A note on that too. I don't know if it is just a UI thing, but when I'm zoomed in on the planetary system in question with my fleets, I have no freaking idea what ship is what if I'm mostly zoomed out, no icons or anything, I usually have to press alt simply to see WHERE mine are. Definitely throws off my speed in trying to concentrate fire on a single vessel, which is another thing, can't follow the ships usually because they are too tiny and if I zoom in it is very hard to click them unless I lock my camera on the ship.
Anyways, my first impression was that it was very good. For Betas of sci-fi genre RTS's like this, I've seen full-version games with more bugs. Even if this is just the guts, there have been games with only this much stuff and there are more bugs.
A few minor things other than what I stated above,
When zooming, if you are mouse wheeling and your pointer zips onto the invisible chat window(which I'm guessing will be completely implemented later, unless I'm a retard and can't get anything beyond the simple chat command to work) and you zoom, it actually starts scrolling up, but also zooming IN on the text, which is quite disorienting when you are trying to get at a group of ships which the window sits right over.
Also when you are trying to build say, a trade port, I've had cases where I've set myself up to be able to build it on a certain world only to find that I can't put one there because of space restrictions, where only previously it told me I couldn't because of resources and wrong tech.
And I've got the Orange background going, I zoomed in on space outside of a solar system entirely, REALLY far away, and it was pullin up a screen of an orange nebula/gas cloud-ish thing.
Lastly this could just be me, but was it intentional to Cap the max upkeep to 75% or is that a code error?
