Hello,

It would be interesting in a longterm goal to get ajax webpages.
So we would not need to load pages to refresh information or going into further sections. All would be dynamically loaded, when turn is over, page content would be refreshed, etc.

Nowadays people are fond of these little things :-)

I support this idea too

Hello,

it would be interesting to get browser desktop notification popup (like gmail or other apps when you receive new mails) when there are in-game events (building done, mail received, being under attack, etc).

Would there be a way to set up notifications of products not being produced? IE, your transport or freighter is destroyed in route with material needed to make your end product. Thus when you log in 8+hours later you are greeted with a massive loss to your bank account

Hoping to see an event control to automatically refresh and return to the previously viewed selection. I tend to play at work and I sometimes babysit certain areas such as the Construction tab on my HQ. Efficiency is my game and while I am multitasking at work I'd love to be able to deploy an ACP as quickly as possible.

One turn is just ten minutes for me. Lol I find myself watching the countdown timer like a hawk! *taps fingers harder on my desk as time winds down*

Hi,

when using a small display screen size, say 15" resolution 1366 x 768, where the viewscreen maps do not appear in their entirety, say last 3-4 grid parts are not displayed and need a scroll down to be revealed, when scrolled down to see the lower parts the curser/pointer is misplaced/slipped a few grids vertically for each scroll/grid move in relation to the colored position square - when scrolling up again the pointer and square are overlapped again when reaching the top of the displayed page -- it works fine on my second screen which is a 20" screen resolution 1920 x 1080 and displays the entire viewscreen page plus some space below.

Hope it can be resolved soon.

Hi,
please elaborate the size of units in relation to cargo space: I tried to load an Ace Fighter unit onto a Scout ship .. the order was accepted yet not executed, which could makes sense in a way that cargo would be too small, so what ship(s) may load the Ace Fighter to be transported between planets ? (I presumed Ace Fighters may not fly through space ..)
This said, perhaps the Scout Ship may not accept the transport of any troupes/units, or above a certain size (yet of which size, like I try to mention above I cannot find a table or page in the guide elaborating which ships or units may transport or load/unload in relation to size, available cargo and application ?)
For example I noticed in the table seen on the guide page about combat that the commando unit has no cargo space yet the orders list contains the option to transfer cargo or load/unload units and be entered, which should not appear to avoid misplacing orders or confusion ..
Are my questions clear enough or shall I elaborate more ?

Cheers!

I am kind of new, I like the request for when you hover over something it tells you a bit about it. I would also like, near the upgrade option on the management tab, it to let you know what the upgrade will do for me.
RIght now I am curious as to if I upgrade a transport, does it make it faster? or just add more cargo space, and to the price per turn.
this will help me decide if I should just make a second one, or improve my first one.

Hey guys been playing the game a few days now and loving it. Had a few construction related questions i wasnt sure about

Is there any way to speed up acp construction time? Id assumed upgrading my HQ would do this but i didnt see any affect.

Same question for ships from a shipyard?

Is there any way to have a second production line for acps? Or is my one hq at 60/70 per acp my only -very slow- option?

Thanks for the responses Perhaps a "Construction Center" to produce eveything an hq does at varying speeds per level? Equivalent to hq at 5 and better after?

I like the idea of declaring as many upgrades as one is allowed and calculating stuff around this.
My rough idea of a builing process would be:

- upgrades cost build time and money (constant factor x maybe)
- upgrades are optional

1. I select the desired unit lvl
2. An area with all 8 possible upgrades appears (the ones making no sense grayed out)
Each entry has either a slider or manual input for the level I want this upgrade to have
( Default would be no upgrade -> 00 )
4. While i enter the data, I get a preview of buildtime, build cost and cost per turn

I assume this system in general would lend itself to the possibility of having ship templates,
which in itself sounds like a really cool idea. They way I can see this beeing implemented is
via a simple template string, kind of like it is used in other mmo build generators.

Each possible upgrade (8) has a fixed position in a configuration string: -> 001122334455667788
The string is then prefixedwith a unit type: -> UU001122334455667788
Each lvl of upgrade is simply represented by the lvl number , 00 beeing no upgrade

This string could then even be pasted in the shipyard interface, so people could
exchange build ideas, a great community building feature.

The player can save his builds with a name, like a bookmark for later reference.

I can also think of extending this schema with the artifacts (need to be at the shipyard),
so one can build the hauler of doom with a single order !

I am not sure how many of you receive the SyFy channel, but they have an upcoming series called "The Expanse". Basically it is suppose to portray the politics, economics, and warring of 3 factions: Earth, the colonies on Mars, and those who have colonized in the Asteroid Belt... Looks promising and brings the question of whether certain TF factions may choose to become friendly to only certain Corps from their home planet, or else the need to establish trade routes with other planets... I know this may be too late to suggest anything but it definitely can jumpstart anyone's think tank that may be stalled..

On a side note, what happen to the asteroid belt, did it get mined out of existence in the plot setting up the story or did I miss anything?

Ah ok that makes sense then. Another thing i noticed was that building a shipyard acp takes 70 turns but building it normally takes 140 (?) I think turns. Is there ever any reason anyone wouldnt use an acp over hq? The 50k credit cost difference is negligible
