Has sector engagement now gone? Or will we get the sector grid overlay back?

I'd like it if mining stations are only for planets and for asteroids it's all relying on mining ships.

Might have just been a game bug but I also saw fleets not willing to fly closer to their attack target which was in near the sun but I could manually move them closer and trigger the combat. Maybe set a minimum distance the gravilex will be to the stars?

You'll have to turn off automated refits.

That way you can make sure you build all the different active designs you want and keep them that way.

Any advantage of actually using resource scanners? My explorers seem to be doing the full job anyway with their survey modules Without the resource scanner exploration ships will need to scan each and every asteroid in a system individually, instead of in an AoE. This will basically make automated ...

Ever since I saw "auto-spy" on the explorer automation option I am instantly thinking about stealth-spy ships that go into enemy territory for recon missions.

Cool patch. Still some issue of when technology gets discovered in an event that happened to be what you were researching and had "crashed" it; It will get stuck and take up a research spot. The screen says "completed" but it will still tick slowly to 100% as if you hadn't resear...

Am I nuts or is there no way to get a "sector grid" on the map anymore? I need to get some visualisation of how big a sector is for my engage ranges.

I don't mind it. Only thing I've noticed is the visualisation slots don't care what component you put in there, it's the same visual item. In terms of actually designing the ship with components from the list; I prefer DWU. All the information was displayed on one screen without me having to do endl...

In ship designer, I need component info text readily available again. In DWU I could right-click the component and open up the galactopedia to that component page and learn if I only needed one of something. Some things just need more clarity in which components can stack and which can't. Also is it...

Because they actin' like pirates aren't they. They just want the loot.

I would like the resource panel where it shows production shortage to maybe factor in the mining rate of ships. I saw them extracting steel, for example, but the panel considered I had 0.00/sec input from mining. I guess it only takes in to consideration mining bases since they are doing a steady st...

<t> Well for me it made the galaxy feel bigger than it does. And there was a sense of grandness when my first ship still had to take a while to explore it's own solar system.<br/> <br/> I've always been a bit iffy that FTL can happen within the system. I was hoping that inside them ships still had t...

Even on aggressive stance what is the point of that meaning point blank range? Shouldn't it mean be aggressive but also still move around and cycle your firing arcs and focus on firing all your weapons?

<t> Aside from feeling/looking cool the one game play aspect I enjoyed from it was that before FTL the orbital paths affected efficienct of freight within your own system.<br/> <br/> So when the planets aligned and were closer together...great! But when one orbital speed was faster and now was on th...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: zgrssd<br/> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Ranbir<br/> <br/> I think when even higher res planet surfaces come in and we see them rotate on their axis that will help resolve the feeling of the missing orbits. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> Not quite sure what you mean.<br...

I really liked at the start how the game zooms in at the start. Be cool if the zooming was a little slower and there was cool music to go with it.
