Misc Suggestions Blob

Post by Zealoth »

Just a long wishlist of things that came to my mind as I struggled up the learning curve :gruebel:

Please, fix Khaa'k - right now they are sad, confused blobs that cannot keep up with pretty much anything, they don't turn and don't deal that much damage either. And they don't even split into a horde of deadly small triangles that rip your ship apart...
It's like shooting drugged fish in a barrel
Xenons need a buff too - they usually aren't too scary either

Allow us to target things from the map again (especially since for some inexplicable reason several kinds of things cannot be targeted for guidance)

Please consider adding some sort of Prospecting mode for the ship (via special ships or software or whatever). It's really annoying dropping and picking up the probes repeatedly.

It would be nice, when the game is past it's launch trauma to consider adding some finer control to AutoTrading(AT) or AutoMining(AM) - Saving ware presets, handpicked sectors for AT, Preffered mining locations, preferred sale stations for AM - I mean, I spent all that time and money spamming resource probes to find that rich 17 silicon spot yet the miner consistently goes to 0.2 spot :evil:

Some way to mark a ship as personal, making it at least always visible as a big selectable icon. I really enjoy being limo'd around just sight seeing and fiddling with the map as the pilot flies me around(Especially since the autopilot is completely daft, compared to the AI pilot (doesn't path via highways or use Travel Mode). Having to search for the ship and re-selecting it again and again is pretty annoying, especially that somehow I always end with unwanted orders on my automated freighters o.O

Scanning ships is a chore right now, because the context menu doesn't update when they get in range and I have to right click them again

Please make throttle matter for Travel Mode

Request docking from joystick keybinds doesnt give me the green guide lights or the voice over

I'll maybe add some more later
Overall I'm impressed and like the game a lot, for me it works pretty much flawlessly on the technical level (Tutorials, Mission briefs, descriptions and objectives are....typical X Universe - confusing, not explaining much or anything at all. But that's a big discussion for a different topic :mrgreen:)

I have one (unless I'm just not seeing it):
For missions, please give some kind of indication of which system the target/task is located in. Maybe even highlight it on the map. (The guidance only takes me to the closest gate/highway. I have 11 missions in my list, and I keep zig-zaging around the universe because I don't know where the mission objectives are and can't plan them efficiently.
