We're Doing A LiveStream today! Drop Your Q's Here.

Q: What ideas do you have of how to improve the UI to control orbital units?

These are all amazing questions! If he doesn't get around to them all he should do a 2nd stream!

Any thoughts on increasing the buildpower/resource generation/storage of commanders? This would serve the dual purpose of getting production going sooner when you start out, and act as a counterweight against using commanders as a rush unit.

Great work.
Q: Modding documentation? At release maybe?
Q: Any info on the mod marketplace? Thoughts?
Q: What can we do modding wise?
Q: Can you manage mods through the new launcher?

How do you see unit cannons and more prevalent KEWs (read: asteroid belts) changing the way planetary invasions take place? Building teleporters from orbit has helped some but it is nigh impossible to assault a planet with huge numbers of bombers on area patrol.

Have you considered some form of orbital unit with AA capabilities?

Question,
Is there a possibility of having the AI play for the player but allowing the player to issue custom orders to the commander and building's/unit's the AI builds for you?

Example.
AI builds and plays but the player can select any unit and give it custom orders, after custom orders finished the units returns to the AI's control.

It would be enjoyable to sit back and watch AI's annihilate each other while still having some control over any part of your AI army at any given time.

(Maybe having AI play for you like this as a toggle-able option pre-game so people can still play without AI assistance)


Side note..
I think that having this kind of idea could help with macro management. instead of having to focus on building and playing you can focus more on what army goes where and other smaller details.

Q: There seems to be alot of discussion on the forums regarding Space Combat, occasionally shields and other cool things.

I was wondering what your plan was in terms of either having this content filled in by modders or eventually "expansioned" later on.

Q: What's the word on Free camera mode and Debug mode?
P.S. I love the Navigation Debug view, but it doesn't love me back. How do I rekindle our relationship?

Q: Is interplanetary travel time a little long or is it just me and a few dozen others?

Will one of you dance on screen?

Orchestral soundtrack!

I know mixing takes a long time and the recordings were only a few months ago but at least an update on how Howard's getting on would be nice. Maybe an approximate ETA?

No definite answer. DENIED

Awe man. Just finished the live stream and they only answered questions from the twitch chat. What was the point of this thread?

That's a good question. Must of forgotten. maybe?

Really? that makes me bummed ((

I like, really wanted an answer to a few questions in this thread, even if its just a slight non-answer like "were working on it"

why

y

is there going to be a 1000% increase in performance and where is the ******* galactic overlay?

Awesome stream

You only want 1000%? There is still a lot of performance fruit hanging low on the tree. Remember we are still adding stuff too!

BTW we screwed up by not using this thread so I'm going to run through some of the ones I would have answered.

Tons of stuff. UI work, unit work, perf work, new launcher, more units, more balance changes etc.
