Hi,


just sharing my inital impression after first game. Overall every thing looks great and promising considering the early access stage.


When zooming into a system the UI slows down a bit but I guess performance will improve later.


One of the things I realy like in the Endless games is the information you get (e.g. how a certain numer is calculated) which lets you make real decisions. I would like to make a few suggestions to further improve this:


- In the election screen the available dust and influence should be shown so that you can decide if you can effort a certain support action.


- The build/reasearch time should be visible without selcting a build/reasearch. Currently I have to add a improvment to the build list in order to see how long it will take. This makes it hard to decide what to build next. The build/reasarch time should be shown on the icon so that you can compare all times at once or at least in the popup so that you do not have to add it to the list.


- The population scan shows an output type for the plannet. How does this system work? How is an ouput type choosen? What is its effect? What determines which output types are available?


- Building "types" are unclear. I had the quest "Darn kids" (not sure if this is the correct name). I choose to build only science building for the next 10 turns. However, the quest failed when "Cerebral Reality" was build. I considered it a science building becaus it hast science outptut?


- FIDSI production unclear (or bugged)

  On a medium / veldt / temperate planet the popup (lower left corner) says 4 Food. I thought that means +4 per population. However, when adding only 1 Sophon to the planet, the production is +8 Food. Tool tip (when over the Food symbol above the planet) says +8 Food from population. There are know buildings with + Food per poluation in the system. So why is it +8? I observed this only in one system.

   - Update: I discovered that the hero assigned to the system provides +3 per population. Maybe there is some rounding involed as well.


cheers
