Hey all,
Just obtained the beta version 3 after my wife was kind enough to pre-order. I'm enjoying the game, but there are a few things that I'd like to see improved.
Recently my main battle fleet was engaged with a mixed group of pirate ships. All support ships were destroyed and that left my two Marza capital ships.
I watched the battle and they would hit one target, then slowly spin to attack another target behind them, then slowly spin back again to hit someone who had been in front of them until they spun the first time.
During all of this they aren't maximizing their firing arcs, wasting valuable time turning when there were plenty of targets already in front of them they could hit without spinning.
When they spin around they aren't firing as many batteries, and are thus being depleted instead of reducing the enemy firepower they face.
What this means to me is MICROMANAGEMENT. I absolutely need my ships to be able to take care of themselves without doing boneheaded stuff like this.
As an aside, anyone know where I can find a printable version of the technologies that can be researched, the ships & their stats, etc? I feel really lost starting out with the tech tree.
