Default Re: SE5 Demo Bug Reports

Ok, I haven't really done enough to get any bugs/errors yet, but I do have a requests/annoyances list:
  • Tooltips need to have a delay time set. As it is now, if you have them turned on, if you so much as move your cursor near something, a tooltip pops up, usually blocking something you want to see.
  • Ship design window needs some work. The dialogs for filtering, setting name, type, strategy, etc. look pretty, they are cumbersome as dialogs for everything. Filtering, since it would likely be used more often, needs to have a faster interface... I would suggest a drop-down selection. The others, since they will likely be used only once, could remain dialogs, but could still be improved (a way to type in a design name without the dialog?).
  • Click-and-drop for designing is slow. Allow double clicking a component to auto-add or auto-remove from the design.
  • Frames/second display needs to be for only the system and combat displays. For other windows, it blocks some information.
  • On satellites, both Ordnance Storage and Small Ordnance Storage can be used, but both are the same size; and the small only provides only a fifth the storage.

Hold shift and click on a comp in the design to remove it. Hold shift and left click to add a comp, and keep the current selection. Handy for adding engines and such.

Shift clicking, such as used in ship design, should be noted on the appropriate screen. Perhaps with a scroll over.

The first suggestions that into mind is on the create design screen, right-clicking on a component opens a detail view for it. In order to close that detail-windows, you need to click close. Instead, a second right-click would be much better. As in click-open........click-close.
