Some stuff I think need impoovement.

Some stuff I think need impoovement.

I've only played Beta 3 with the only faction available being the normal "trade humans"

1) Dont like that the weapons on the frigates, capital ships dont aim at the enemy target before firing. On the Marza Dreadnaught the ship fires an enemy broadside while all its weapons are up on the dead front of the ship.

2) Add some simple animation. When a cannon fires, animate it being pushed back by the force of the projectile it just fired. Its easy stuff.

3) Nice blenders and shadows, but not very realistic ones. Homeworld 2 had the best shadow system I've ever seen, not that overally was better, but it was more interactive with its enviroment.

4) Make the suns be more bright up close. It looks like a liquidy huge ball as it is right now.

5) Fighters go through solid ship hulls when docking or launching. Why dont they use the ship docking bays.

6)Planets seem to have lights on the dark side whether they are populated or not. Shoulnt planets be dark completely when nobody lives in them?

7)The team should have found a way to make planetary influence lines extend to other solar systems. It reduces the fun when you can use this ability when playing in a multiple solar system game.

8)Cobalt light frigate weapons fire sucks so bad. I know its not meant to be a powerful vessel, its weapons fire is very dull. No bloom no nothing. More eye candy please.

Thats it I guess. I will post again if I find something.

Other than that love the game cant wait to play it in full.

Nice, so how do I order the collectors edition? Just by preordering it here on the website? :)

Yes, all CD orders direct will be filled with Collector's Editions. We'll most likely post a notice if/when we run out.

In fact, ordering directly from Stardock is the *only* way of getting the collector's :)

Yes, makes sense actually.
Cutting out the middleman (store owner) means more profit for Stardock and Ironclad. Thus I think it's very nice of them to offer us a CE in return for that. It's Win-Win

now, if I only had the slighted shred of respect for the local gamestores, I might feel different, but frankly, they all employ nothing but idiots.

It is so because a "pirate" started this thread offering suggestions to what he wanted fix for the game to make it more enjoyable for him (Yarlen & Kyro start tossing people out the window and Frogboy gets hopping mad!). This was done apparently not knowing that the version he downloaded was not the current version (for us beta testers at least).
