Hi guys - Ralegh here - I'm back to 4x gaming, and giving GavCilIII a spin. Lots of great progress since the alpha, but I have a list of "issues" to submit.
1. I bought a trade ship from another race. When I sent it to a planet I got "Cannot trade. Trade ship has no assigned home planet." I tried sending to one of my planets, and I tried upgrading it, but couldn't seem to fix it. Can we provide a way to assign a home planet? (Note the potential 'abuse' of building ships in one location, and rehoming them elsewhere - I think its desirable!)
2. The screen selecting an ideology isn't friendly to my colour blindness - I can't tell which ones have been selected, which are available, and which are not yet available. Could we have the different circles around the outside of the items reflect their status?
3. Can we have a FIND command, where I can enter the name of a planet or system, and if it is visible to me, have the screen jump there?
4. Sometimes on the main map I would like to be able to hide the asteroids/stars/deadworlds (or just switch to a view that only shows settled planets and ships/bases).
5. When using Govern/Commands/Ships/Upgrade, could we see the estimated cost? Or have a prompt for spending which will take you red? I blew my economy!
6. Scrolling down in the Bazaar isn't smooth - sometimes its hard to get it moving. Perhaps a scroll bar? Or 3 'tabs'?
7. How many votes do the minor races get in the UP? - The screen only shows the majors!
8. If I have a fleet in a hex and move another ship into the fleet (within the logistics capacity of the fleet), about 80% of the time the fleet "wakes up", losing its Sentry or Guard command. I'd like it to not do that!
9. On the fleets tab, could I have an option to show/hide fleets in orbit (of a planet or starbase). Sometimes I'd prefer not to have to scroll through all my defensive forces.
10. If an alien race cannot have war declared upon it, can I have some indicator of why, and maybe how long it will last? (Assuming the Ideology reward is the reason)
