1-Maybe WAD... but the Thalens built Three galactic achievements, one on the 1st turn ( it was the first pop up screen of the game... ), one on the 2nd turn, and one on the 3rd turn. On the 4th turn, the Altarians did same. Wish I could build like that... Small map, 6 AI's Difficulty 1 above normal, and I had Ctrl N'd. As a side note, the galaxy was set for abundant everything and the first 4 maps had almost no planets... the 5th time, I had multiple star systems with 5 p7-p12 planets all in a row. It was a clear case of all or nothing.

2-Pop up for "planet is not building anything" after paying for an improvement, even though the build que has multiple improvements in line to be built in the planet screen.

3-Planet/Ship list refuses to stay still, as in where I was. On a list of 20 planets I am going through the ship building ( starport ) on each one... every time I change a build, the list resets to a preset location, usually back to the other end of the list. It's a royal pain in the a## to have to scroll back down to where I was, change another build... and then have the list reset back to where it was so I can scroll back down to where I want to be. May not seem like a big deal, but doing it over and over every time you need to change something gets really annoying, really fast.

4-The build que no longer always updates to the newest incarnation of ship after you redesign/upgrade it. This is an inconsistent event. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, although "doesn't" seems to be winning.

5-The button at the bottom of the robot screen is suddenly finicky... It used to be you just had to be in the neighborhood, now I have to click and move around until I find the sweet spot to close the screen. Speaking of which, can we have an option NOT to see him/her/it anymore. If the message was different every time I could see it, but how many years/games do I have to read about the "new" hyperspace drive I researched... again.

6-Wacky build focus numbers: An example... p18 planet with no focus 36-15-3. On Social build focus: 32-22-2... somewhat normal but military didn't lose too much. On Military focus however: 38-7-2... A 15 point swing in social focus, but a gain of 2 (TWO) on the military side ??? That just don't seem right...

7-2 of 3 "evil" races got the "we're going to be nice to everybody now" event... within 2 turns of each other. At least the Drengin stuck to their guns... and their ceilings as I "neutral"ized them...

8-Several of the hulls have been reworked, and the null points are no longer functioning as they were. In particular one of the medium hulls... All of the angles are changed so parts come off straight instead of at the nice angles it used to. Also, I used to be able to use alot of parts as canopies, but with all of the new textures, that's not possible. It leaves me with ONE canopy choice. I hate that all my ships look the same now... you either use the hulls as is or you add the one canopy left. I miss the old textures and mounting points already.

The following are suggestions:

1-Can we have numbers on the sliders and dials in the ship build window... My hands are terribly unsteady at times, and having to fiddle with the dials and sliders is difficult and time consuming. It would be SO NICE to put an angle # in a box... especially when building symmetrical ships. I've tried the constraint angles set high... but there's a reason it's called a "constraint".

2-With all of the editors, is there going to be one in which I can change the part textures? Not change the shape mind you, just the color/look/feel of a part. A simple 256 color editor in game as part of the shipbuilder shouldn't be that hard to do. Heck, the original Nascar1 game from papyrus had one. It was clunky, but it was enough. Please? Please can we have one??? I need to make some fighter canopies... I know there is supposed to be an add a component editor, but will that allow for creation/modification of jewelry components???

Thanks for your time and efforts! There is alot in TA that has made it worth the upgrade, and I am enjoying it immensely! I look forward to everything but the terror stars... ?

Some trading this krynn does. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a scam on the side of the Krynn..

The game always crashes the first time I switch to another tab, that's usually weapons.

Do you run in windowed mode?

Well, that removes the easy solution!

yea tourism seems to be neutered in the new beta. It seems like they upped the ship maint but forgot to keep tourism the same so now maintaining fleets is ridiculous.

The description for the Nightmare Torpedo mentions it tearing the "fabrice" of space.

It should say *fabric* of space.

Mouse stopping to work while clicking on fleet who just engaged in battle, several times. I have all animations off but I still see the fight on the main map. Playing on painfull as the Yor and lolz just as I am about to attack (Colony rush is over) I have almost depleted the tech tree already. Almost no enemy in orbit on their planets and I saw 1 or 2 enemy fleets thats about it and i have eye of the uni so i can see plenty. Very boring. Maintenance is rediculous. I want biiiigggg fleets and I want to see them on the enemy as well! It feels like in beta 4 the ai took a bit too much valium or is hindered somehow (econ wise) I do like the new invasion screen btw hehe.

You will not be able to select other things during battles.  This is by design.

Swozza,

Do you have a saved game that reproduces this?  If so, please zip it and send it to gc2bugs@stardock.com with a description of the problem.  Also, please include your debug.err file.

Thanks.

When do we get to download?

I am getting some strange election results:


And what happend to the screenshot hotkey? It doesn't seem to work in TotA.
