Growing concern - but optimistic

Although if you've noticed a lot of players who made the early posts are slowly being converted over to SE:V.

Or just as likely stopped posting because there's not much point hanging around a forum for a demo you didn't like.

Well,

I've played with the demo a good bit more and it has grown on me, no doubt about that.

I have some quibbles about the controls here and there. I really don't like the ship design where I have to release the component I have selected to switch between decks. The game should either drop the component when I click on something else or it should allow me to click with a component selected.

To make me traverse the screen twice to change decks is frustrating.

I offer that as an example.

I do like some of the menus, etc.

One thing I could not figure out, but that I thought was supposed to be one of the big changes for SEV was to have multiple construction queues on the same planet. I could not figure out how to do this.

I have always thought it a bit silly that one can't build a spaceship, a weapons platform, a facility, etc. concurrenty.

It would be like saying that the U.S. has to shut down all other manufacturing while we build a space shuttle.

There should be 4 queues on each planet.
Troops
Ships
Facilities
Units (or what ever it is called)

But over all the look and feel is growing on me.

I figured I should give a report since I started this conversation off.

Just put multiple items on the construction queue and unused points will automatically bleed over to the next item.

Hi Arthur,

But that is not my point. My point is that you should be able to build somthing on the ground (troop or unit) and something in the air (ship) and improve infrastructure all at the same time.

Having to do it in serial fashion makes things drag out...

I was really hoping for this in SEV

It'd be nice if the space yard was.. a massive.. yard.. in space.. and had its own queue, seperate from the planet.

You mean like a space station with a space yard component added to it?

I'm thinking something massive, with a planet SY construction rate, something too big to stick on a ship or starbase.
