Compatability issues
1. Software mouse disappears on swap to desktop and back- Use of hardware mouse had no issues.
2. Colony screen causes crash to desktop when resolution set to 1600x1200.
3. Galciv2 doesn't always recover from swap to desk top when firewall stops the interent check (I assume it is the internet check that is causing my firewall to respond after stopping galciv2 from pinging stardock at startup)
4. Random Crash to desk top at when colonizing new planets. Happens with pre made and custom made colony ships though more oftem with custom made ones.
Screen feedback
1 Ship design screen
1.1Bottom right info screen appends info to last entry when added new equipment is added to the hull. Should this happen or should it actually update what is already there?
1.2 What you see when designing is not always what you see when you finally build it. Designed a ship with only three engines but in designing it I moved the engines all over place. After building it I had 9 engines on it. (Ship could only move the equivulant of three engines- In another case I had a ship appear with 10 colony moduals on it but I had only designed it with one)
1.3 Parts not usable for hull being displayed. (I think Brad has already commented on this in another post)
1.4 Filters don't always reset apon exiting the screen and returning.
1.5 Icon graphics left on the screen when changing filter selections.
I like the hull movement buttons-- very easy to use
2 Technology Screen
2.1 When using the horizontal scroll bar not all the techs in the first column disappear when scrolled to the right.
2.2 Very hard to pick out researched techs, non reseached techs and current researching tech.
2.3 Weeks left to research not updating( if it is suppose to be weeks left)
3 Colony Screen
3.1 Need to able to see total money pool somewhere in screen
3.2 Need to see cost of buying a building
3.3 Buying upgrade building doesn't seem to work correctly. Where as building them wasn't a problem
3.4 Unployment stuck on 10%? (after the initial 6% at start of the game)
Over all the colony screen is well on its way to being easy to use.
Non-Beta1 issues
1. Ship buildingscreen
1.1 Ship build screen needs a go back to planet button
1.2 Launching a colony or a transport ship doesn't update the planet information at bottom left of screen
1.3 Built ship icons not appearing in launch area of screen. Ships that re-enter orbit appear ok
2 Minimap
2.1 Light grey arc in top quarter of minimap (Is this suppose to be a shadow?)
2.2 Influence not updating until minimap control button is hit.
2.4 Influence not appearing when zoomed in.
3 Main screen
3.1 Population on bottem left is missing a decimal point. One game was showing me 3089 million. Should of been 30.89 million
3.2 Ships moving backwards
3.3 Ship built icon could be different to colony built icon and instead of taken you to the colony screen it should take you to the ship build screen.
3.4 Need icon for new colony to take you to that colony or after you get asked to name the new colony then taken to that plenet. Didn't matter much on small maps but as you allow larger maps this will be a problem
3.5 load game causes lock up
3.6 You can build soil enhancement before actually doing the research for the tech.
Ok I gotta go see if the wife is still talking to me...
