GC4 Feedback Live Branch | VERSION 0.92.283241

continues with several areas of the map "unavailable" . forcing the spacecraft to make unnecessary journeys.

sometimes the planet is in an inaccessible place. getting useless.

I've made 2 matches, both with problems to go to a new sector. the ship simply stops at the entrance and stays there (stopping game continuity)

I noticed that selecting drath citizens for a custom civ still only gives the 0.8 growth. i really think that this growth reduction should be tied into the "war profiteers" ability instead of the drath citizens. the +25hp policy is what really works to balance the low growth rate. without that they're just a slowing breeding version of the iridium.

i personally really like the way they look, and would like to be able to use them as a custom civ without the low growth rate.

plus it makes sense that war profiteers are slow breeding since they're prob killing themselves off a lot due to their love of war stuff prob not great parents either

I see that you still haven't fixed this  (11, 12, 13 do not follow pattern of "st, nd, rd).  I know it can't have a very high priority, but please fix it before release of gold version to public.  It just looks so sloppy   

I have not really played 0.9 yet. This is just some quick first look feedback:
- Civilization editor: would it not be better to have a preference for each ideology "spectrum"? Maybe a slider or point system
- Minister of Colonies does only increase approval at Colonies and not at Core Worlds. As far as I know approval of Colonies does not matter (no election) but this is old feedback. My point now is, that this slot should be locked behind a later technologie as to not lead new players into a bad decision
- Nebula Background. I got another proposal in comparison to just turning it off: Opacity slider for Nebula Background. New thread: https://forums.galciv4.com/511239/nebula-background---opacity-slider

New SitRep for 2022-03-31 has been compiled.

Now on live. Version No. updated.

First feedback from me, as I've not had much time to play earlier versions.

Having loads of fun playing the game.

These are the things that jumped out at me while playing. Not in any particular order.

• Lack of feedback on why the turn hasn't ended or been completed.
  • Often I've noticed it's because ships are still moving around off-screen
  • Sometimes though (I've seen this 3 to 4 times now) it seems to hang the game and I need to Alt-F4 and reload
• Averaging about 1 crash an hour. Stacktraces submitted, so hopefully, you can figure out why
• I like what the advisors are saying, I find it useful
• Would love an "Automate" button for Freighters and Miners, just like we have for colony ships.
• The UI/UX for production queues irritates me. There's no clear indication when you drag and drop where the item will end up, so I often need multiple attempts to get the item where I want it. Also, it can take a number of attempts before I manage to get an item correctly selected so the fly-out menu shows up and I can buy/delete it.
• Trade needs to be made easier to use. A map overlay of trade routes would really help, as I need to dig through a number of menus to find out if I already have a specific trade route or not.
• Would be nice if things like Manufacturing->Credits and Starbase Modules build tasks could be set to repeatable, or maybe allow batches of 10 as a single click. I end up just spamming mouse clicks when I'm waiting for something else to finish, or need loads.
• The "Faction" page of the leadership menu seems to have no impact. I keep forgetting it's even there.
• When zooming in on the map, the transition from ship icons to ship models is very jarring, and more often than not, I end up losing track of the ships/fleet I'm interested in and have to zoom back out and try again. Maybe instead of removing the icon entirely, make it a small badge on the models' hex.
• Empire colours (especially when playing random opponents) are far too similar (light blue vs dark blue) in some cases. They need to be de-conflicted on game creation or allow me to change them once the game has started and/or I encounter the empire.
• Would like the planet list to be sortable by population

Looking forward to the next version.

I find if you just go to the save/exit page and return most of the time it clears the turn.

Part of the slow down is both your and the AI's ships move slower if in your field of view so you "can see" them. 

As this is something most players want to "see"🤷‍♂️.

It slows way down when you have a slipstream being traveled and in your view.

Tried playing a totally Custom Civ.  After completing the planet scan mission there was no prototype available in my shipyard list. 

Oh man being able to change the colors of a civ in a single player game would be sweet. No sure how hard that would be able to do or if it’s even feasible but damn would that be useful at times.

While designing a custom ship, I found a bug where some ship modules disappear. 

So here I am (photo #1) playing with the Baratak and I decide I would really like my Ranger M3 to have more Point Defense. This photo is of the standard Ranger M3 before I make any changes. As you can see, it comes with 5 Harpoon missiles (two of them are on the left, and I don't know why), a hit point augment, a drive, and some advanced barrier shields. I'm only using 8 out of 12 component slots, so I want to use my remaining slots for Point Defense.

I select Advanced Point Defense and select "Place." Now we get photo #2. At the bottom, the 3 Harpoon missiles on the right have disappeared, even though you can tell they are still equipped because over on the right, the missile attack value stays at 32 and the inventory says "9/12."
