At least Aaron got rid of this absurd situation then your ships were parked in the center of a star.
(0,0) sector seems to be impassable. And this is a right thing.

I wonder what "Experience Types" refers to on the help screen.

Oooh, perhaps it means that experience is tracked separately for attack/defense against each type of target (ships vs units vs drones vs missiles)

About "All points go to Norak" thingy:

Quote:

[06:35:27-PM] <Malfador> Beyond treaties, the big new thing is Alliances.
Empires can join together to form a new union called an Alliance. The Alliance
has all of the political abilities as an Empire, but is a union of empires.
[06:35:44-PM] <Malfador> The empires in the union have to vote on everything
they want the alliance to do.
[06:36:27-PM] <Malfador> The Alliance can specify the rules that govern it, much
like a treay has rules for the two empires.
[06:36:44-PM] <Malfador> And members vote for changes to the rules, add new
members, declare war, etc.

I bet we see some economical aspects of Alliance in action.

Hmm, two things spring to mind.....

-Europa Universalis II with its military alliances
-My idea of a "Galactic Council" as I said in the SEV wishlist.....

God man I can't WAIT for it to be released..... or at least play a demo version

Well, the galactic council thing would be Opt-In only.

Although with the advanced treaties, you should be able to have members effectively at war with each other.
Make a PBW game with an OOC rule that everybody has to join and remain in the "Galactic Council alliance", and you should be set.

Looking at screenshots 1, 3 and 6:

Does anyone else think that the icons along the top of the system window seem a little bit...I don't know... out of place, difficult to see maybe? I like the icons at the bottom right, with the blue glow behind the images, but I think the top icons would look better with a different color than brown in the background, perhaps the same blue as is behind the bottom-right images. It's just that some of the pictures in the icons seem to blend in to the background brown to me, making a few of them difficult to see.

It would also be great if the weird glass pane shine on them was removed... That really doesn't fit.

David will be sad, that's his trademark.

I really like the combat buttons though, but with those main buttons I'd probably go with a faint blue background grid without the glare spot. But it doesn't matter anyway really, I'm sure it's all easily moddable.

The Wierd glass pane shine was deliberately placed on the buttons for the sole purpose of agrivating Fyron,.. thus distracting him and giving his adversaries a chance to win.

Muahahahahahahaha....

Cheers!

Note this is not the righ (or apropriate) place to discuss game changes. That's what the beta is for, and it is not a public beta. That said, as a beta tester your opinion is noted, but no action will be decided on here in public forms.
