[Bug+Feedback on beta3]

Hejhej!

- It's not possible to place a starbase in the exact middle of an asteroid belt or cloud. The red-cross-cursor isn't captured on tn in-game screenshot, but you notice the missing circle around the end of the line.

 

- Why are two of these asteroird written in white? I think that maybe the AI had allready built extractors on those. I didn't explore the planet afterwards, so maybe it just doesn't show which opponent (color) built there.

 

- When you keep a starbase constructor selected after giving it the order build a starbase it gets deselected of course when contructions starts and the ship is consumed. Is it possible then to auto-select the starbase?

 

Thanks and greetings!

1) The center is always the "object" that has the grav well around it. Even though the effect stretches around the whole grav well, the center is still where you mouse over to get the info and that's where the planetoid object sits, so you can't put anything else there. Wouldn't call this a bug.

2) IC changed it a while back after someone pointed out that you could get intel on planet ownership by the coloring of the resource fields ;)

2) Yeah, but why do I get info about it at all? OK, at least it's intentional ; - D

1) OK, would still be nice to place SBs into the middle of gravwells, where actually no object occupies the middle. I can fly through it with ships, right? Also the whole middle square is off-limits for SB, not just the middle of the square :-(

- A starbase in a plasma storm doesn't damage enemy ships that are jumping away. Their phase-thingy also isn't red but normal blue-white. Since it's a passive ability I'm not sure wether it's a bug or a feature. Anyone knows vor certain?
