I just want to say I am really enjoying the beta right now. Love the new ship components... actually spending more time in there than ever before and really enjoying my new ship designs. I really like created custom civs to face, and I like the new tech tree and new structures to build. I do like spys you add. I know you guys said that you through those in at the last minute into the beta and needs balancing and I still find it great. Only problem is lol I have to kill the other races off quicker or make aliances or make everyone like my race even more earlier on cause near the end of my game i had econ treaties heading to me and about 40-50 spys on my worlds... but by then i only get one race to send spys at me like every 4 to 8 weeks. I know to some of you this pisses you off cause they can make planets revolt, stop production or more importantly stop your profits. Which I like cause in GC2 when I had a great econ my only worries were if I was at war or if some other race was more powerful than me but this just makes games more exciting and more unpredictable ie no easy way now to easily beat the game at.. well there is but it way harder now. I also had to change the way I researched in the early to middle stages of the game which was cool and kept me on my toes.
I hope that you keep the epic generator if not well it was cool that you tried to make one. You know it alright to lower the # of people working on it or make it a second priority i dont care even if it says add you race name here as an example from time to time. Just keep updating it if you need to. Hopefully for the first patch/update for the beta just fix the super ability super spy for the human player and fix the space trucks. Thats all I care about for now. Also if you could add an ability to buy a spy like for a high fee I don't know maybe a min of 500credits to 2000 credits. Also another feature like pay even more credits to kill of spys like +2000 credits. I know you just got the spy feature in the beta and needs major balancing but it a cool idea to keep games away from being a cakewalk. Also another wish is to create templates and custom designs for starbases if possible. I do like all the new graphics that you added. Also the trade screen with other races looks sweet, declare war, new treaties, end alliances etc... thanks I am glad you add that. Also now if some one could clear this up for me now I can place spys on other races buildings to disable them but how do I increase my level of knowledge on their race ie low, medium, high, and advance... do I put alot of spys in their race or put them on a specific area of a planet... just tell me how and that would be great. Otherwise it time to start another game in DA.
Also the only bugs I saw was, once an invisible enemy ships, talking to Dread Lords which i took the last 2 final techs before tech victory which helped lol, space trucker not building a mining base after I colonize a few asteroids. Ahh this one happened once say I just updated a ship in the shipyard well my mark 2 trade ship and saved it well it wasnt in the menu of ships and then when i remake it and save it under the same name it says do you want to overright it... that was a wierd one. I don't thing i had any other major probs... I can't wait to try all the new features and I might add more to this later cause as always I all ways forget to add something lol. Thanks again Stardock!
