Beta 2 critique

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I just played the Beta 2 version that was just launched.  I am liking the updates.  I am not experiencing lag,etc like I did with the alphas. My bench tests have improved so I am happy with that.  The two  things I MISS. 

1) In the top left of the screen there uses to be a dashboard of all of your army groups.  This is now gone.  I relied heavily on that dashboard to know what was in my army groups.  Having that gone is like removing an arm in my opinion.  I hope they bring it back. 

2) The notification of when your quantum hit a level so you can remember to upgrade,  I liked the flashing icon to reminder you that you have enough quantum to upgrade.

Question: Anyone get the orbitals to work?  Even though I deployed all the different types my options were limited.

The empire tree should still be there, just make a control group (not army) and it should pop right up.  (ctrl + 1-9 if you didn't know)  You said your bench tests improved?  My cpu fps actually went down 20-25 fps from 80 to 55-60 in the new benchmark. (xenon x5660 OC to 3.8)  I'm not really caring about the GPU bench results atm because Nvidia still hasn't released their new drivers which are supposed to help.

Orbital nullifiers are too powerful really. If you compare it to say a traditional anti-nuke device in a late game vs a turtler you could overwhelm his anti-nukes and get him. In this game one relatively cheap structure blocks anything forever. Bomb it and then go in you say? Oh, he built four of them in the same area...I would re-factor them so that they have to be recharged or something and are not infinitely effective.

 

To OP, double check you have enough Quanta as well, sometimes an easy thing to over look.
