Title : Deployment Missions

Description : When doing away missions you are unable to read the descriptions of the various missions without clicking one of them. Then you are required to either play that one, or cancel the mission all together. Id love a popup window when mousing over the missions that describe it so I can choose which I like best.

Hours Played : 22 hours played over 3 accounts (Wife, son and myself lol)

Thanks, Sharvax - That's an area we're certainly looking to improve :)

A few items I'd love to see enhanced

Gameplay Enhancements
-it would be nice if the tool tips were on mouse over.
you can increase your game play space if you have your tool tips hover on mouse over.
-when you click and drag your mouse over screens with text, it should not be able to highlight the text
-Crew assignments and Item drops would be better as drag and drop
-Loadout screens would be better if user could directly input values instead of holding mouse down
-On WAR screen, would be nice if game remembered your settings when switching between ships that you have attacked rather than reset to default HULL
-Game over screen is very unimpressive

Visual Enhancements
-Map: Ship icon should face the direction it is facing within the map
-Map: the map would look much better as a cloudlike shroud
-Planets: should appear gasious not solid on their atmosphere
maybe add an extra gasious barier to represent you are within mining range
-Alien Species Photos: would look much more threatening if they were GIF images (like starcraft UI)

^^^ Lots of content we plan to address in there. Thanks for the feedback, Tempest.

I REALLY REALLY agree with these.

Title: Shuttle Missions
Description: The ability to select another away mission. Deploying to a planet, picking one option then backing out of it leaves you unable to gain anything from the planet. The ability to back out of one of the 3 mission sites and pick another would make more sense than "Actually no guys, lets go home and never come back".
Hours Played: Just under 4.

Id love this too but I dunno if you intended only being able to play one mission per planet due to time constraints? Maybe allow the enemy to get closer if you choose another mission or something.

Title: Improving gamer experience

Description: Apart from the UI issue I have right now (switching from one to another control panel takes unplayable long), the REGULAR switching between the control sections takes too much time. Whenever I am attacked, I have to go back to the crew (loading time!), taking them out of the sick bay and from fixing issues (senseless clicking time!9, then I have to go back to the captain's chair (loading time!), assign the battle positions and then I start. When playing the games for a few hours, all the switching time gets boring. Can't you transfer e.g. the process of taking the crew out from jobs and the sick bay into a button when assigning the battle possitions (reading e.g. "Call all crew members to the bridge")?

Also some travels from one to another planet are taking to much time. Especially for those of us, who love to play games like this but also have limited time after work. What about a skip option which skips the next e.g. 10 seconds of traveling whenever clicked?

Hours Played: 14.8 h

As to the first part, some sort of hotkey or window that allows for crew management of the crisis on the main UI would be nice. I too hate moving between the windows.

As to the second part, I suggest having an easy mode (or a customizable option from settings) that allows for a fast forward button.

Just my 2¢!

Solid feedback, all - Thanks for sharing! We agree those elements could be much better.

War gameplay.
Fisrt off let me say great game. But when fighting the skorn, i understand, and enjoy, the hit chance system, but either the recharge speed needs to be reduced or the hit chance % needs to be increased, my latest game i missed 36 shots in a row..resulting in my death.
I also feel that it would be much more strategic if instead of the skorn poping up to attack when you hang around to long, they start to apear in the area itself, more and more in the search mode they have now but in an increased amount, as to try and avoid them, possibly using up your resouces to do so.

just over 25 hours of game time.

36 missed shots in a row? Wowie. Your engineers are fired. I had sprees of 9 or 10 missed shots, but that many? Sheesh.

I have another idea. How about if we get to equip two of the same weapon systems? Like dual lasers and dual torpedoes? It promotes variation between ships, and lets you make either rapid firing ships that pepper the enemy or slow firing vessels, that pack a huge punch.

^^^ That many missed shots should NOT be happening. We have a system in place that prevents you from missing anything more than 2 shots in a row, but clearly that's not functioning for you both. We'll take a look and see what can be done, but rest assured that those kind of miss rates are not intended!

We like the population and mixed weapon ideas - Other's have shown interest in the same, so we'll certainly explore them as we look to improve those systems.

Well, I only missed a lot when I was forced to use engies of skill 30 or less in my first few playthroughs, while I was still a rookie. With engies of skill 50 or more, it is usually from 50/50 to 3 out of 4 worst case. I am sure your system is working as intended.

End Game,
Finally reached titus nova, and im not sure if this is on the todo list already, but i think the game would have alot more replay value if when you completed the game you recived a new reward to be used in future plays, rarity base off the scoring system you already have in place.

30 hrs of game time. Great Game!
