Dhontraphael, I am glad you are having fun! You will be able to rename ships and planets It's just temporarily disabled. (Orange button on center UI) With capital ships you can choose what abilities you would like to specialize in, depending on your strategy for that game.

Gyproject, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! There is lot to take in...here are some responses for the easy ones (its the weekend!): Giving milatary supply to two factions at war with each other would also be a thing I'd personally like to do You can provide a faction with a monetary, or resource gift from the diplomacy window. There’s currently no way (at least that I’ve figured out) to

Maybe have multiple messages (or more messages) for a certain order. As as 5 different messages for attacking a planet A number of new messages went out with the last version, but there are hundreds of conditions/variations left to do. We hope to go above and beyond the typical RTS in text message variation

It's the little things Couldn't agree more. This saying strikes a positive chord with the team. We'll certainly take a look at the research buttons activation when we do a thorough assessment of the research screen. We feel there is room for making this area more intuitive in several ways. Thanks!

I still wish the silver scroll bar on the left side would be transparent... I find it very distracting. We made the scrollbar track transparent by specific request. We can have a look at the full thing less instrusive if this is seen as a common annoyance. Currently it is consistent will all the menu options and other UI elements, so a change would need to work with these areas as well. edit: out of curiosity, what screen res do you have? Does the bar

while bandboxing around the new ships I want to add, hit ctrl+1 to set group, but the new ships weren't added. Next time this happens try holding down CTRL and hit 1 several times rather than once. Does this resolve it? There seems to be something finicky here, but we can't isolate the problem. Is anyone else having issues with this as well? (Crumbs in the keyboard don't count!)

I get that feeling because of how the travel lines sometimes cross another planet but is actually not connected to it. This is legitmate concern and we have taken steps to prevent this from getting out of hand in Beta 2. Is this a recent problem, and if so, can you post a screenshot for me. will the star maps later on expand to become 3 dimensional? Suprisingly we started with a 3D map. It was very disorienting at the scale of

Gyproject, Thanks for the well-articulated review! You will certainly see more and more of the immersive 4X features that you enjoy so much in future betas. For the moment, it is possible to execute all your orders in paused mode (pause button activates it).

i just gave him 1k money (at the start of the game) then he said u might as well evacuate ...... You can't always trust them! Its likely he was dead set on taking you out anyway - waiting for the ideal time to attack - and gladly taking your money in the meantime. Some players can slowly grow intolerate of your mischeivious behaviour and eventually snap. With a steady flow of gifts you might have a friend until the end. <img src="http://imag

Although using escape pods to keep the crew of your level 10 capitol ship alive and putting them into another capitol ship might be a viable game effect also Yes, we can add escape pods No, they can't be interactive elements. They will be an effect only. These are all c
