Weird...possibly. Slow.... definately.

I don't seem to be finding the 1/8 time adjustment. Is there an indicator on the screen that shows the time adjustment?

should be right under the date display. fast-time shows in the same spot.

How's this for a request... a campaign editor!

In my opinion we don't need any of those 4 points you described, except maybe more than one autosave slot (each warp the autosave gets overwritten normally) and an option to freeze the game and still change views and look around...a moveable pause setting of sorts, otherwise, erm...1/8 setting is sloooooooooooooowww.......

Try to be a little more productive/constructive and less insulting in the future...

Much thanks to Phoenix-D (what happened to A and B and C?). OK, my slow-down request and the autosave are already taken care of. I guess all I can whine about is that they were too subtly implemented or undocumented (didn't see 'em mentioned prominently anyway). The "Save after wormholing" is adequate, though a prolonged one-system sojourn would not be saved.

The time-scale information is hardly noticeable, unless you know it is there, which is fine....except I did not know it was there. Now I do and that problem is solved. And yes, 1/8 speed is fine. My problem was that the game was not slowing down at all, which brings up....

Handy Notice for newbies: The + and - keys that slow/speed the game are the ones above the alphanumerical keyboard. I was trying to use the +/- keys on the numeric keypad, which do NOT work for this purpose, at least for me. That is why I could not slow the game which meant I never had a chance to see the time-scale indicator.

Having fun....BTW can you change difficultu levels in mid-game? (difficultu...a lot like "difficulty", but without the typo)

Change difficulty level during a game: If it is not a feature, please make it one. I don't want to have to start all over on the campaign as I learn the game. If it messes up scoring, so be it. I don't care about scoring, I just want to have fun.

And if it can be done already, someone please tell me how. I seem to have missed it.
