Re: Thoughts after playing my 4th game

Small hint: you can see all benefits from this or that research if you Right click on its name. Diplomatic AI is quite strange. It doesn't matter whether alien race demands smth and you fulfill their request, or its their initiative to give you smth and you accept - your relations will be improved :...

Re: Sugestion for fleet and ship

In my opinion any changes in space combat requires at the very first to increase scaling, so more ships will be seen on the screen. And probably an option to hide UI.
Now it's very hard to feel comfortable during space combats.

Re: Suggestions for Tech Research

Is it worth to add some random breakthrough in absolutely different area of research than current one? For example, researchers could develop some beam weapon that is absolutely crappy to be considered a ship beam weapon, but could be perfectly used by soldiers in ground combat. Or in industry... It...

Re: Bugged missions

I have completed 2 missions with the eggs so far. Both were completed at the time when I was already in alliance with Gargals. And both times when I chose Option 1 my relations dropped ~ at 1 cm on the screen. All other times my relations with this race were on the highest possible level, even when ...

Re: What is in a Name?

Well, in case of MOO it would be strange to call that game "Migrating coconut" as that game's story line was about conquering of Orion :lol: But in Horizon I haven't met anything related to any Horizon thing, so it could be changed to some other name :) BTW, it's called now Horizon: Alpha ...

Re: How do I abandon planets?

Right now you can surrender systems to another race but there is no way to abandon it. We will be adding the option to destroy the government building completely (which you can't right now) that will abandon the colony. Are you sure that you can't do it now? Yesterday I pressed X near the colony bu...

Bugged missions

Have met 2 issues so far with game's missions: 1. Pirate and his eggs :mrgreen: . Ok, I found eggs of aqua race and chose Option 1. From mission text it should be "Here are your eggs, I expect that our relations will be improved". In reality my relation with this race get worse... So, it's...

ISN vs Research

Not sure, but it seems that if Research breakthrough's animation and ISN's animation happen on the same turn, then only ISN's one take place. I have strong feeling that I saw ISN news and then some messages about Research breakthrough in Turn events screen, but no animation about these researches. C...

Re: Ships Sizes and research

I believe the matter of quantity of ship sizes and requirements for them is only a balancing issue. Player or AI could take an afford and get the biggest available ship earlier than all other races, but It shouldn't mean that such race will get absolutely advantage. At least such race have to have s...

Re: Refitting ships

Probably, you need to change the design that corresponds to already built ships. If you save it, then probably ships will be refitted at the next turn to this new design if they on orbit of the planet with starbase.
Another idea - very left button in Design screen.

As far as I understand, the maintenance cost is usually multiply by 2 when you upgrade something. There are some exceptions like Entertainment structures. Can't understand any logic there.
