    It also would be nice to have a list of all keyboard commands and such. There are quite a lot of them so a list would make for easy reference.

    It would be nice to have it in game. Having to AltTab every time you forgot something is uncomfortable.
    And I'm not even asking about rebinding this stuff.

    That list is missing a few and it's quite annoying to sort through such a long thread to find one command that may or may not exist. An in-game list like what Teod was talking about would be best.

    There should be a hotkey listing the in-game hotkeys. That way, you can know what they other hotkeys are without nerdstudying it out.

    Not that I personally have a problem with it, I play SMNC, but as we know there, NOBODY should be expected to nerdstudy because the only the whole SMNC playerbase of 25 will actually do so. PA is currently actually very GOOD about this so far, being easier to pick up for new players.

    i would appreciate to have a feedback on the two following things :
    1) Graphics wip stuff done by your specialist
    2) If there's a chance the editor includes the ability to build plateaux and slopes in the final release, or if it's something planned for later (I guess this might add additional complexity to pathfinding)
    Thanks !

    I'd like to hear more about future gameplay elements like units, the galactic war and stuff.

    I'd like to know what the heated arguments at Uber are about. Since you guys can see our heated discussions I would like to know yours. :)

    Edit: Just something simple: topic and pros nd cons.

    Concept sketches.

    Game design decisions.
    Maybe stuff was put into vote at the office.
    Maybe some stuff just can't be made because it costs too much.
    It'd be really cool to see more behind-the-scenes stuff.


    Like the extras on a DVD.
    We get the see the bloopers and the deleted scenes.
    I want to see what never made it into the game.

    I wanna play the beta for half off. I only did the minimal backing, and at this point, it's like buying a new game when I'm getting it already in a couple months or whenever.

    Also, any and all concept art.

    I pre-ordered it so I'm not sure how the kickstarter setup works, but you should be able to upgrade your purchase some how. I'd suggest contacting Uber support: support@uberent.com

    I think he means that he purchased the final release only ($40), and since the Beta is partially over now, he wants a discounted price. I guess it would be reasonable to see a drop to $50 at some point, but I'm not sure when that would be. Not sure if there is some confusion about needing to pay the whole amount over again for the Beta, but if there is....you would only need to pay the difference between what you paid ($40) and the current Beta price. So, right now, your cost would be an additional $20 ($60-$40).

    The concept art argument doesn't apply though. Why would that be discounted? You either buy it, or you don't. Also, that was an incentive to buy the larger package. I don't see them selling that separately.

    Based on the Alpha the price drop would probably happen sometime in Nov, as it didn't drop until after the 'half-qay' mark.

    I'm sure it will be sold separately at some point, they never did say the Art book was exclusively did they? I mean the printed version might be, because they aren't sure what kind of demand they'll be seeing for it but I'm sure they'll have PDF versions available at some point, but don't expect much of a discount here I'd say.

    I put in the original $20 for the retail release. Now, I see the beta is at $60, meaning $40 difference right? I'd be tempted to put in another $20, but it doesn't make sense to do the $40 at this point. I'm patient enough.

    Also, I didn't mean to buy the art, unless it was a physical book. I wouldn't pay anything for a PDF document. I also think what demand their is for their art would dwindle as time passes, so I was thinking maybe in the future they could start releasing the art for free in stages.
