This is my first beta so please excuse me if i suggest things that are normally in the final stages of production. I have been playing the PA Beta for a little bit and wish to suggest/point out some things. -Under the "Defense" tab for the Commander the Torpedo Launcher is not an option, I wish it was. -I would also like, if possible, a text message to appear when being attacked and on which planet. -Queue icon for idol build units and idol factories. -Radar, when selected, doesn't show the range of detection. The hole planet is illuminated. -After selecting Quick Match I am unable to go back to Main Menu. Only way i have been able to back out is by closing the game down. (Alt + F4) -During Planet Transport it would be nice to see a trajectory path. If possible/needed a countdown till destination is reached would be nice. Again this is my first beta testing and also my first forum post. I hope that this helps and that the way I posted is appropriate.
Minor bug, it's avaible under the "All" Tab though. Likewise! im pretty sure they'll add something in sense of an "event manager" where, if you press a button, it takes your camera to the latest event. (or cycles through the last few) Yes!, probably on the to-do list Bugged. Just tried that, same issue. Bugged? Agreed!
All your points are valid, but all these have been acknowledged or confirmed in the bug tracker. Check out this beta forums for the link. And as far as the warning systems for attacks, they have confirmed that they are working on a system that will warn you aswell as hotkeys to switch between current conflict areas. Hope that helps.
One thing I would like to see (not sure if this has been discussed already) is control groups in the interface. You can make them with ctrl-1, ctrl-2 etc. and select the units with 1, 2, etc. but it does not show what units/buildings are in those groups anywhere in the interface. It would be nice to see something like in SC2 where the control groups are listed as easily selectable tabs near the edge of the screen so you can easily see which are being used and what is in each one. I understand the UI hasn't been worked on much as there have been bigger things to do, but it would be nice to see this in there eventually.
Just played my first game - seems fun though I've been crashing a lot. Yay for Control Groups, but it would be nice to have the Shift + # to append units to control groups.
