Another thing I dislike about the user interface is that the game doesn't remember what you've selected. For example, let's say you have 20 ships in orbit around a planet. You select one of the ship and then press the Refit button. The game isn't programmed in such a way that it selects the ship you had selected before you pressed the Refit button. So you have to scroll all the way down the list until you find that ship again. Very, very annoying.
When the game starts, I will add my favorite races such as the Rage, the Klingons, the Xi'Chung etcetera. Then, I have to go back and set them to computer control. As I add the races, it would be nice if the most recently added AI was selected instead of the first one. Similarly, it would be nice if after you selected one, edited it, turned on the AI and created the empire that it would remember which one you had most recently selected. Instead, it just goes back to the first one. Very sloppy programming in my mind!
Do you wonder if maybe the forum knows that I've already bought SE4 Gold? Maybe that is why the SE4 banner ad isn't animated?
Or maybe it is just prejudice by Shrapnel against SE4? Hey, I think the SE4 ads should be just as annoying as the Remote Assault ads!!
