So many bugs, so little time.

[Raapys]

Nice! So many issues fixed already, this is really starting to look good. Any idea how long the patching will continue? 'Till its done', or has SF set some sort of limit?

"4. Added - "Lock System View" button at the top of the Orders panel."

This prevents the rotating, yes? Any chance there'll be an option to exchange the rotation with regular scolling?

"32. Added - The Vehicle Design report now shows the component the mouse is over.
33. Added - The Create Design window now shows the component the mouse is over.

Those two have the potential to be either great or an enomous pain in the ***, depending on how they're implimented.

34. Added - "Attack", "Defense", "Turn Rate", and "Acceleration" fields to the Vehicle Design Report.
35. Added - "Attack", "Defense", "Turn Rate", and "Acceleration" fields to the Create Design window.
40. Added - Empire options under "Display" to select whether to see a Component's Section, Level, Damage, and Mount on all component grids.

These should help a lot with ship design.

Looks good so far. Hopefully the crashes will be reduced in final as well..

[StarShadow]

Slightly OT, but 34/35 have made me wonder something. Are there any components that affect the turn rate of a ship?

They are out of the way, both listed at the bottom of each respective screen.

What CK said. Also, if you look at 40. below - that is the real key. You don't even have to mouse cursor over the component - if you want, the display will show the component level in the upper right corner so you can see everything at a glance.

This is great, that Aaron is busy fixing all the bugs in SEV.

Today I looked around to see if I could buy SEV here in Vancouver, Canada. I checked EB Games, Best Buy and Future Shop but they didn't have it. I'll check again at the release date. It's good to know that a lot of the problems we saw in the demo will be fixed by October 16th.

[Q]

Some very important fixes IMO. I am very glad my trust in MM to fix the bugs and improve the game seems to be justified.

Very glad to see these changes.
