Default What I Hate Most About SEIV

Oh this is going to be an ongoing list.

1. The AI, going from being a great ally to declaring war in one turn without cause. (NO, I am not a mega evil empire, in fact, I am in 9th place)

2. Lack of wheel mouse support.

3. SLOW --- SUPER SLOW turn times.

(1 down, 3 to go.)

1. Inability to save mid-turn in simultaneous games, you have to do your turn all at once.

2. When retrofitting, the screen that has the potential retrofit types includes those that cost more than 50% of the original design so you have to calculate manually to see if a design is valid for retrofit.

Well, if you dont want your planet list to show systems that you have marked as "avoid", then you must make sure there is a little green dot by the option, "no sys to avoid" in the planet list. Then you won't see any planets from avoided systems. But you've been here a while, so shouldn't you know that already?

- When I sometimes assign a ship to a path for the upcoming movement (simultaneous movement) you don't always see the ship path/blue lines showing it's proposed route.

A pain when you come back to it and can't tell where you have sent it when you select it.

I still detest the cruddy attempt to make a "cool" looking interface. The SE III interface was light-years better. If the game play weren't so addicting I'd have gotten too annoyed to play for long.

I know that most the people that knew SE3 before SE4, consider much better the SE3 interface.
We have complained many times about the features that had SE3 and we lost with SE4... and sadly I'm pretty sure that we'll have not luck.
