Now that we have entered the Beta phases, what sort of feedback is being looked for?
I assume we should probably hold back any grammar polish in dialogues, but what about if the procedure logic that chooses the dialogue to be shown is potentially incorrect? (For example, one I wrote down in my notebook is "[Dialogue] Playing as Altarian, upon first contact with The Iridium Corporation, the dialog message thanks you for Hyperdrive. This is probably invalid because it was the Terrans who invented Hyperdrive. ", this could be a bit of dialogue polish per race that hasn't made it in yet, or could be that the race variable isn't being evaluated for the last part of the dialogue. I haven't had a chance to explore the XML yet.)
Anyway, things that that I am guessing it is the correct time to report
- Ships under automatic movement orders (Explore/Survey) are able to move outside the range boundary of that ship. (The procedure that is determining which hex should be chosen to move to isn't checking the range property of the ship object.)
- Ships that are set to Auto Explore will get 'stuck' on a border, and not move until a player moves them manually, and re-enables auto explore.
- You can see black holes through the fog of war. It looks like there is a pixel or two of the black holes (guessing its a) connected texture issue that is leaking through the fog of war texture. (And as a technicality, should a black hole have the little blue 'unexplored star' glyph? I mean, a black hole is kinda the opposite of a star.... big bright ball of thermonuclear fusion vs big gravity well? Though I suppose a super massive stars collapse does form a black hole.... I think i lost my own debate...) Anyway, Link to picture: http://imgur.com/jK6eX4Z
- After loading a save, any stars that were previously revealed through exploration appear as the blue 'unexplored' glyph.
