I am playing the latest test version and I want to bring up an issue that has annoyed me in every version up to and including this one. The issue has to do with trying to move a ship one cell when you are zoomed-out to what I call the icon view.
The first screen snapshot below shows what a ship looks like in icon view. The second screen snapshot shows what a ship looks like when you zoom-in to what I call the graphic view.
When you are in graphic view, you can right-click on any of the cells next to the cell containing the ship and move to that cell as expected. However, when you zoom-out to icon view, right-clicking on any of the 4 cells to the upper left, upper right, lower left, or lower right, will not move the ship to that cell. For some reason, the game thinks that any cell that contains an object (like a ship, planet, etc.) extends out to those 4 contiguous cells. Therefore, when you right-click on any of those 4 contiguous cells, the game thinks you are clicking on the cell containing the object. The cells to the left and right work as expected.
Evidence supporting my theory is provided by doing the following experiment:
In graphic mode:
- hover your cursor over a ship - the property window for the ship will appear
- slowly move your cursor out of the cell containing the ship - the property window will disappear
In icon mode:
- hover your cursor over a ship - the property window for the ship will appear
- slowly move your cursor out of the cell containing the ship to any of the contiguous cells
- if you move to either the cell to the left or the cell to the right of the ship, the property window will disappear
- if you move to the cell above left, above right, below left, or below right, the property window will disappear and then immediately reappear
- slowly move your cursor out of the cell you are now in and away from the ship - the property window will disappear
You can perform the same experiment hovering over a planet or any other object.
There is something wrong with how the game is determining which cell the cursor is over when you are in icon mode. Please have your programmers take a look at this and fix it. It has been a royal pain in the butt to have to zoom in to graphic mode just to be able to move one cell or to move to a cell next to a cell with an object in it, and then zoom back out.
