First thoughts

Been messing with it a bit tonight and I'm a huge fan of GalCiv 2

 

Positive Features

 

Love the auto logistics

The new research page is a better layout and faster to navigate

I have dual monitors and love the way I can go off the screen to my 2nd screen and answer an email if I see it come in without the screen disappearing and waiting for the entire OS to go back to windows and effortlessly go back into the game with no wait time

Love the Idle Planet feature

 

Improvements

 

The "glow" green around the open building cubes could be a little thicker because when you take over a planet, the land background can blend in a bit with the green

Turns left on the bar graphs for planets instead of just a disappearing solid bar for improvements and ship builds

Would like a notification when ships are built.  Doesn't have to jump to the planet like in 2 (which was really annoying) but just a quick notification on the screen

 

Issues

 

Trying to attack an enemy fleet but when I click to attack the only button available on the pop up screen is "done"

 

Text overlapping over the turn button when auto building an "NA" feature.   I had to click on another planet to get rid of the extra text. (lower right)
