3 things for 1.03

3 things for 1.03

1 typo, 1 fix, 1 idea

Here are 3 things to be considered for the next patch (1.03):

1)
Found a typo in the manual, Chapter "The Main Interface" on page 18 the item 18 "InfoCard" is numbered as 16 in the corresponding image above.

2)
I already mentioned this in the 1.02 thread but here it goes again. Please change the color of the progress bar in the Action Grid, yellow is really hard to see. Example:

Yellow Bar (bad)


Red Bar (better) - dark blue is possibly the best choice in terms of contrast


3)
I'm not entirely happy with the InfoCard as is doesn't directly show the additional hull, shields, damage, etc. values after having completed researches. A simple solution would be to add the improvement in brackets, here is an example:



I can immediately see that the Hull max value is 637 and 37 of those were added through research (Level 1 Hull Reinforcement) and the basic value was 600. Gives me a good estimate about how powerful my ships have become after having invested in research :) Of course you can apply the same principle to infrastructure and defense.

So what do you guys think?

I would like to ability to choose everyone's home planet during game setup... so if me and a friend are playing on the same team versus some AI team, we can put our home planets close to each other.

why have a progress bar at all? why not a timer? gives u a better sense of time as when your research is complete...

i think i posted this about 3 times already.. and about the research queue...but i think its worth mentioning..

graphically the bar is easier and simpler...

those timer numbers would be rather small...


The OP is a really good idea.
