My impression after patch 1.82

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hello,

I quit playing GC3 about a year ago and now came back after patch 1.82. Since people mostly tend to complain, I want to say that I am positively surprised about the state of the game. The constructor spam is mostly gone and the UI feels a lot more fleshed out :thumbsup:  

 

That said, there are still two things, which I think could be improved:

- Why does the Escape key not close the Diplomacy screen?

- I like the star next to the specialized techs in the tech trading section and that it says which tech it's coming from when I mouse over it. For convenience, it would be great if all the techs of the same specialization would highlight. E.g. the star next to them could be filled or a different color.

Yes when tech trading would be great to see if you have already specialised in a different field.

I hate accidently trading for eg a Missile cost reduction tech then realising I cannot now get the ministurisation version!

Definitely need to know/see if you already have a tech (of that branch/selection). You could color the star a different color if you already have one of the other selections, and "empty middle" if you don't.

Oh yea, it is tiring to have to constantly exit the diplomacy screen to check what you have.

 

Personally i do not see the purpose of having tech specialization if you can get the other techs?? Its like your own scientists refuse to research that other tech so you have to get it off someone else??? And then when you get it and show your scientists and say "look, its useful" but still they refuse to research other specializations despite this evidence you threw in their face?? crazy crazy crazy.

It would make more sense to have the alternate specializations researchable, but the first one you chose is much cheaper
