Hey. Well at first I felt like I was a bit let down because I wasn't really wowed or anything by the demo. Once I played it over again and got used to the hotkeys it became a little better. However, some things are extremely annoying.

1. I miss that list of ships that would be in the upper corner of the screen, it was so useful before.

2. The interface is UGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, I only found the game tolerable when I learned how to turn it completely off. Even then the build manager etc are still super ugly. I wish there was a way to modify it.

3. Alt focusing on a ship takes like 5 steps, it was so much better before being able to hit alt and click, thats it!

4. The explosion of the MS is way too short. It's such an awesome explosion but its over in 3 seconds, what gives?

5. Kinda random how subsystems just appear and dissappear.

6. I wish all the old options were in this version. Like turning off the background. I used to turn off the background on the old one even with a computer with way above recommended specs. I just dont like looking at this BIG BLAZING yellow background.


Besides that its really solid. But I feel like there were some things about the game that worked alot better before and I don't know why they were taken out.

alt click to focus works fine for me, could you give more details?

It doesn't zoom cus it's really annoying when it does. I always found myself alt focusing then frantically zooming out so I could see what was going on.

well that makes sense, but I like zooming all the way up sometimes, I want there to be a key I can hold so that when I click on a ship, it zooms all the way up

You can alt + double click a ship to zoom all the way in. Alt + single click will only focus the ship.
