Played my first game. Small map, randomly generated, 3 races.
Couple of things came up:
1) What is with that flight limit line (dashed white line) for the war ships? Or maybe it was just my war ships because you know the [whispers...] monkey thing. Engine tech limit or something? I get that I think, but aside from the edges of the map where there be monsters I should be able to drift lost is space for eternity or at least til the end of the game if I so choose. Might take a while to get from place to place though. I spent no time going through the tech tree so it s unclear what governs the limit. May be if I read the docs... nah...
2) Noticed there were not a lot of planetary improvements on the conquered worlds. Like all the research went in to mil and trade techs... no environmental stuff or at least nothing that got built on planet.
3) Speaking of building I presume that none of the invasion tech is working because like none of the planet based weaponry even slowed my attackers down. What is with that? I get that throwing really big rocks from great height is a killer. But really... There is a big fracking planetary defense gun sitting there and it is the home of one of my military colleges. Can I get at least a token resistance?
4) Converting things. Specifically ships from one type to another in the middle of space, even upgrading them. A master of space and time and energy I am.... silly little monkey wants to rule the uni. At least a space dock is required yes? I get the upgrade of ships within a type because micro management is rough enough as it is, but cross type?
5) Oh and don't get me started on shipyard build queues. Do I really have to cancel everything in the queue to get that transport built first even rushed? Did I miss a key sequence some place? Because drag and drop 2 queue spots at a time... really annoying when you have a 20 ship build queue running.
6) And the reason for this post. Die already. I mean really. I killed you. I invaded and killed you, I destroyed every space based and planetary base member of your race. STOP begging for mercy. I don't believe in ghosts and it is annoying.
Aside: Wow... this place looks exactly the same as it did the last time I was here. I mean the colours have changed but the layout... wow. And Kryo is here... working for Frogboy... and... and... and...
