Hey Captain Kwok!

Submitted by PIGKiller on Tue, 2006-10-24 07:11. Space Empires V General

This is a cut and paste from a topic I started yesterday but I wanted you or someone else who seems to be aiding with the patch suggestions to see it before the next patch if possible. It is just a few things from SEIV that i thought should be in SEV and somehow got left out.

Thanks

First off let me say that I am enjoying the game thoroughly despite the bugs that everyone else has been reporting. Yes they affected me also but I am just happy the game is finally out and I can play it. It looks awesome and the improvements make it look and feel awesome. That said! I wish that some of the things that I loved about SEIV that I felt made it work GREAT were still included in SEV. First that map, being able to look at the map and see systems colored as the controlling race or showing a disputed system made strategic planning for future campaigns so much easier. Now I can’t even tell where my borders are let alone my enemies. I looked around for all kind of map options but I must have missed it if it is there. If it is someone let me know, if it isn’t can we put it back in please. Second, upgrading multiple ships in SEIV was easy you could click on several of the same class and upgrade them in one shot, now you have to go and individually upgrade each one. Once again if there is an option I am missing please direct me to it and I’ll go back to my hole, but if it is not here can we put that back in also. Third, the ability to claim and un-claim systems by just clicking on the map, I have tried it but it doesn’t seem to work and some systems I just don’t want. I am sure there are little things that are bugging everyone but I feel that these three things would definitely help the flow of the game from a planning point of view. Once again I am not complaining! I am merely offering an observation from a player’s point of view. I have loved the entire SE series since I started playing it 8 years ago and I am enjoying it still. Sorry for the long post.

Time concern, expect them to be added...

Since claims have an effect in game in preventing colonization, it is not a good idea to allow them to be manually selected - way too easy to exploit the AI. Sticking out tongue

Retrofit and System Map changes are hopefully being addressed soon I hope!

Only a lowly tester

Just note I'm only a beta tester and don't have any official association with MM or SFI... Sticking out tongue

Yes, and the one for your colonies marks your colonies in blue. The one for enemy colonies also marks your colonies, but in red. Notice the problem? Smiling
