Agreed.

Hold down shift should help you out.

also id like 2 see more artefacts and more than a max of 10 seen as those planet specail things use umm up as well.

Actually, it multiplies the amount of the click by 5 or 4 depending on the window. You buy / sell in units of 500 resources, and place bounties in amounts of 1000 (instead of 100 / 250).

Unfortunatly, thats part of the streamlining required for real time, as opposed to turn based.

Yeah I understand that you need to streamline for RTS, but could we at least have the option to go the slower more precise method if we want/need to. After all we are talking about a game that is going to be epic in proportions no matter how small your galaxy is so I would think that there is going to be down time in any game single or multi or campaign.

I agree with the developers in concept that the game needs to be streamlined, but you can streamline the games controls and have that be the default input mode and then also have commands to open up a more detailed ui for things.

Let me rephrase myself, that I don't think you're going to have time for anything more precise, so its streamlined to fit into an RTS.

If you hold down the shift key, you sell/buy in increments of 500.

I don't have to time it to know that any reasonable amount (2000 or less) takes far less than the simple act of moving my right hand off the mouse and finding the number pad. Especially since I'd first have to click on the special field, then type the numbers, then click on the buy / sell button.



If you actually read (and applied) what has already been mentioned, you'd know that you can shift-click, so for any reasonable amount its quicker just to hit the button. I mean, come on, the shift click is all of a pinky's move away!

The only reason for what you're suggesting to be superior is if you're micro-ing in smaller-than-100 units for some reason, which I don't think you'd have time to do very much, if at all, or if you need to do massive amounts of buying/selling.

And if you have the resources to pull that off, the games already won.

I bet that Ironclad will iron out the market screen a bit before release. I also imagine (stronly hope) that they allow a bit more option in the diplomacy screen. It would be cool to have more economic bonuses for trade alliances. They should also add research treaties....hmmm, unless they are too unbalancing, of course.

One last thing that would be neat would be a 'deal' type option in the diplomacy screen, where one (or both) of the players agreeing to the deal have to either stay at peace (or go to war with someone else) for a set time limit. Hmmm, then again part of the fun of any type of deal is worrying about somebody being less than honest with you.

Both Diplomacy and Research are getting overhauled.
