Personally I was thinking cheeseburger but your idea has merit too.

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

Hell yeah I'm giving it time. (I know I should be gone but it's 2am here and I'm wide awake AND sober for a change)(though there is that beer in the fridge... back in a sec).

I want the game to...

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

Okay I quit for now. I've spent the last several hours trying to fall in love with the game but the interface is killing me. I am bitterly disappointed having played SEIV from almost the start right...

Re: OT: Any idea where I can find Stars! resources

Stars! rocks. IMO it does resources better than any other game of its type.

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

"oh, and suicide junkie (spelling?), I do the same thing! put 1% on ones I want, but not to commit to just yet, then improve as I need them!"

That does seem like the way to go. Hmm.

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

I never played SE3 so it's entirely possible I'm missing a good thing here. I'll reserve judgement I guess. The medicine example is a good one.

Re: SE V demo Interface

You'll rotate the view every time you inadvertnetly stray off to either side actually. Just like you'll have to change your zoom if you go to far top or bottom.

And like I said this is the exact...

Re: SE V demo Interface

That's actually fine by me too! It's basically the 3D view of my 2D view. The difference being that when you hop to a new system you'll have to rotate it to see what's going on there. And then rotate...

Re: SE V demo Interface

I refer to the combat replay view about once every 30 or 40 turns on average since I only play strategic. I refer to the system display constantly.

The other point being that there's a large...

Re: SE V demo Interface

Long and short of it is there anything in the first image that can really be improved upon with further panning out, panning in or converting to 3D?

SE V demo Interface

If I've done this right there'll be an attachment with a picture of my screen during system display. I'm having a hard time getting past the cack-handed way this is handled. The default option is a...

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

You reminded me about the research screen! When I play SEIV I turn off dividing and enable repeat projects. As you say there's no longer a way for me to have that as my default method. I like to line...

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

I have 2 resolutions available at 2 colour depths. Either 1024x800 or 1280x1024. I've got a measly 17" TFT (that I thought was the bees knees a couple of years ago) and a 7800GS grafix card. 1280x800...

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

Can you turn off the edge scrolling of the system display? I'm actually getting sick of the new interface - is it unreasonable for me to just want to see the whole system at once without it skipping...

Re: SEV DEMO IS OUT!

And to put Intelligence defense to 100% you have to click on a button 100 times. That's wrong.
