Generate initial systems in some sort of pause mode

Now that the topology is generated up front it can take a while to get going. Currently you get the intro speil, then an OK button, then a delay while it generates the system, then the game starts. Would it be possible to have it generate the topology during the intro, or at least before the OK butt...

Re: 1.6b5 Mining Feedback Thread

It is a trifle odd when there is an undiscovered motherlode right outside a mining station. "No wonder we couldn't find it- Fred had his Centurion parked right on top of it!" Also having deposits right on top of friendly stations make those area effect toys a touch hard to use without pissing everyo...

Re: 1.6 Beta 5

Big long names in LRS (blip radar) are very annoying. It is a distraction when I am looking for blips. And a real pain when shooting long distance. There may be a bug in the mining damage table. There are twenty-five elements, but since lists have an index of zero, there should be twenty-six elemen...

Re: Fleet services unavailable

I think I exited stage-coreward before posting this, so I won't affect me for a while anyway. Besides, having to pay for services somewhat mitigated to Great Economic Disaster that struck the Commonwealth when I left for the core taking *all* the credits (and most of the rins) with me 8-)

Fleet services unavailable

Hi

Either my search ability is failing badly or this hasn't been reported yet somehow:

When I reach max rank in the fleet missions, I can no longer use any of their services. Is the engine interpreting zero cost as unavailable?

Today's hilariously stupid system layout glitch

So today the Antarctica and America spawned right next to each other. I wondered for a moment whether that meant they would fight each other. Then, of course, they were both destroyed by a passing Phobos, having spawned too close to a Ares Shipyard... In any case, I am now the hero of the fleet*, an...

weird side-mount positioning

I thought this would be bound to have been reported earlier, but nothing comes up on the search...

The position of side-mounted weapons seems to be broken on the freighter

[CC] Last mission too finicky

This is about the fourth time I have played through CC and I still haven't managed to actually succeed in the final mission. Some happenstance or another always results in either Nassar or the station getting blown up too early. Last time the dire threat to the galaxy got annihilated on a whim by a ...

Re: Newbie player bugs

A not-quite-immediate but pretty early issue: the Charon system event seems to trigger way too early. Has anyone actually had a chance to see the mission briefing in the last few releases? We all know whats going on because we've seen it before, but a new player isn't going to get the backstory. An ...

Re: 1.6 Beta 4

Unless an unmodded system is loading obsolete ships in the startup display. That would be a minor bug, but none-the-less a bug.

Re: Newbie player bugs

Benedict will sometimes send the player to a weapons store to install stuff. Installation cannot be done at a weapons store.

Edit: So I went to see how bad mining was these days. Cleaning out Eridani wound up getting me less than the price of the mining gear. Ouch...

Re: Constructive criticism: name one thing that annoys you m

Dealing with capital ships is a serious chore: Line up guns... Hold down fire... Turn on autopilot... Take a nap... I think the whole internal damage thing still needs a serious rebalance. On the other hand, I think military bases could stand to be tougher- I would have expected them to be bigger(ie...

Re: 1.3 RC 1

George, you might have never failed to kill the ships, but you, just like most of us here, are an experienced player. A total newb, would just barely be learning to work the controls at this point. A tutorial mission should let that kind of player get their feet wet with very little chance of death...
