Thanks for putting together a completely playable alpha. (With my laptop failing, I'm using a friend's computer to test now). This is mainly feedback for things that are not working, or could be improved.
Bugs
- Ship not moving manually - I "found" the Lost Defender ship. However, for the first several turns with it, it would not move manually (click spot). It would however move on auto when set to "Explore".
- UI Large same as normal - I edited the options to change the UI size. After game reset, the interface remained the same.
- Minimap view area - The trapezoid marking what you have in view does not match up correctly with what is actually in view.
Feedback
- Planet Management UI - It is fairly intuitive. The glaring item missing is that in planetary view, your civilization's info is not visible. Thus, when I want to "Buy" a building, I do not have my total credits viewable to help me decide. This was present in GC2.
- Quick Build - At present, the quick build option does not visually indicate that an item has been added to the queue.
- Star System Stats - In GC2, you could click on a star to get a system summary. I rather liked it. In this alpha, this feature does not appear.
