Although I haven't been able to play much at all, I want to first complement the GC3 team for all of the polish I can see that went into 5.3. The difference is tremendous! I really like the little type symbols next to planets: aquatic, etc - great touch! Game: immense, uncommon planets, uncommon habitable, spiral, everything else default, 16 majors and various minors. I'm playing a custom synthetic race.
Noticed items:
- In the Custom Race creation, the tooltip boxes for trait descriptions have been expanded (yay!) but traits are still being cut off after 2 lines (aww).
- The Adventurous trait runs out of room in the tooltip title area. All you see is Adventuro(+1).
- Mining resources are now white instead of colored. Was this on purpose or is this an artifact/bug? I haven't started mining one, so do they turn their appropriate color when being mined (this would be a neat touch too)? The symbols are still the correct color on the tooltip description.
- About the little icons on top of planets (not sure what all they indicate...): when I zoom in or out and then stop the view, these icons jiggle a bit before stopping. I've also noticed the influence borders do something similar. It's quite noticeable and a bit jarring. I have anti-aliasing off so that may contribute.
