Sorry if I've missed a similar thread,

but I just read the last news from the devs

http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/showthread.php?210-News-from-the-Dev-Team

and I'm just... amazed. That's one hell of a list!



So, just wanted to say to the team what a great job they're doing, I reckon.



And ask you lot what you think of this new changes?



I think I will have to reread it (several times) but at least these three got remembered:

* scrapping stuff when I'm out of money (should've started earlier with voluntary no debt-system... :s)

* rotating ships in 3D!!

* more helpfull colours in research!

wow that's quite a list of fixes, you've been busy : )

looking forward to the new alpha to try some of the new things that got added like the Guard option for ships.

this is truly an amazing game guys !!!

Keep Up the Good Work.....

Added a new Fleet action: guard. The fleets with guard status will block fleet movements of all opponents in cold war or war.

Gods be praised! A proper way to defend systems and to wage defensive war. Quite happy... quite indeed....

*Added the ‘Lock End Turn’ option in the game options panel. When this option is selected, you will not be able to end your turn until all critical warnings have been dismissed or resolved.



I like this one! I hope ship movement points are included in critical warnings.

For now we just have the research queue and the negative bank account. We will add other warnings later.

The list is a good start most of which was badly needed.

However I couldn't help but wonder what use rotating ships in 3D in the design screen really has beyond eye candy?

please keep in mind that we are still Alpha, some elements that you are playing with are still unfinished, and we are finishing them as we work our way to beta, which is getting nearer..

No new races, I am sad panda

Very very soon you'll know more about the next revealed faction, and promise it won't be too long before you can play the 3 remaining ones.

w00t better galaxy generation! No more 10 turns to reach adjacent system in constellation.

should be much nicer. please don't hesitate to report weird or annoying if not game breaking (should not be any of course) galaxy generations.

* AI huge fleet count, huge score (exceeding the CP count for an individual fleet is fixed, but sometimes the AI spawns a huge number of *fleets*)

The AI bug should be fixed. if you do encounter it again, it would be great if you could send us a savegame when it occurs.





We are fixing bugs while we are implementing our last content, so don't be surprised if some bugs that you reported are still in. As you can see by looking at that list, we had not time get bored

My eyes have a sweet tooth.

It's because our release notes have an alpha status too We will edit the known issues section (invisible missiles, ship XP).



The tonnage issue is fixed, and yes, we think the huge number of AI fleets is fixed too. The number of times you are unable to choose auto/manual should have drastically decreased (should be null, in fact)

Thanks for the quick feedback.
