Re: Autopilot
Its a bit of both: The slave coffins that you find in game are explicitly described as life support units: "The Sung Slavers of Jiang's Star transport their slaves in life-support canisters that keep their captive occupants in biological suspension." and upon rescue, captives are in good enough phys...

[17a2] Ship explosion consequences
Most ships now explode destructively.
The NPC AI has a tendency to clump together.
Net result: Suicide bombers with a friendly fire problem.

[17a2] Better observation skills required
I just blew up a station from a bit outside LRS, and then flew in and looted the wreckage.
Pretty normal so far, but none of this registered with the station guards. They are sat there watching. Or failing to watch, as it were.
They didn't even react to getting shot to pieces...

[17a2] Excessively entheusiastic station defenders
The defenders at various friendly stations are really dumb about blowing up their own stations. This is most noticeable for the randomly hostile friendlies and the post-Katami black market. Just hang around a bit in sustain or on a nearby planet and the 'defenders' will blow everything up and then l...

[17a2] Sticky mouse firebutton
If you are shooting via the mousebutton when you dock, the button 'sticks' and you wont stop shooting till you undock and hit shoot again.

Re: 1.7 Alpha 2
The new keyboard UI is a good idea (although a touch superfluous for us xml-savvy types). A few points to add though: On the custom keyboard controls, it would be nice to have a button to slurp all the defaults across as a starting point. (Or, if it assumes defaults for unassigned keys, some indicat...

Re: 1.7 Alpha 2
I really like the mouse control scheme. Finally I can aim where I want to without having to spend three tries to get that last turn increment not to overshoot. Now I just need to work on getting where-I-try-to-aim to be a better approximation of where the projectile needs to go... A few points thoug...

Tweak to title screen display
Since the title screen has been getting some tweaking in the alpha, I figure I may as well throw this in: It is rather jarring the way the viewpoint jumps whenever the POV ship dies. How difficult would it be to implement a smooth pan over to the new viewpoint rather than the hard jump? If the camer...

Minor text glitch- autons are heavy
but the folks at the repaired Korolov station "hand" one over like something you'd keep in a pocket.
Should result in : "Kaypy was crushed to death by a 2t auton. He never reached the galactic core"![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Minor glitch- input and galactic map
Hold down a movement key. Hit the galactic map button. Release the movement key. Switch back out of galactic map.
The game acts as if you are still holding down the movement key.
Not a big deal (hitting the movement key again unsticks it), but a trifle disconcerting until you work it out.

Is anyone else seeing oddness in the loot generation?
Its hard to pin down when things go wrong with random elements, but... I'm two systems past St Ks, and I have found: 3x Light Ithalium Armour Katana Star Cannon Outboard Light Ion Koshiba 500 And I think this was all from the same system... Seems a bit excessive for mid-game drops... Anyone else see...

Re: Generate initial systems in some sort of pause mode
Here is what I am seeing: Start new game > crawl screen begins Walk off for 10 minutes > OK button is displayed Click OK > Spinner starts Wait a little > Game starts It doesn't seem that the universe creation starts until I hit OK. Clicking anywhere during the crawl will cause the game to crawl and ...

Re: 1.6b5 Mining Feedback Thread
I notice that there is a warning when you downgrade equipment. Could the same mechanism be re-purposed to give the player a heads-up that they are kitting up for mining in an empty system?

Add range to weapon stats
It would be nice to add range to the stats shown in-game for weapons. I find the fact that there's no way to tell without digging through the xml how far a weapon goes is a rather large discouragement to installing anything unfamiliar...
