SEV Beta History starting V1.0

[Phoenix-D]

"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..

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.

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.

16. Fixed - Multiple constructions of items condensed into single log item reports.

Very glad to see these changes.

Sticky this? If I'd of seen this before I emailed they'd of only gotten one email from me. Or better yet since beta is over start a new thread titled Patch fix list or something and sticky it
