Nagging over tiny things
 

(This post originally held the first two nitpicks. One has been resolved, the other someone disagreed with. I've therefore removed them both. Instead, I've written some general guidelines for posting in this topic.)

Please note:
This is a topic meant for small, uncontroversial and easy to implement improvements and fixes. Typos, layout issues, broken links, errors in the manual and minor interface improvements all fit this definition. Feature requests, EULA changes and significant bugs do not.

Similarly, because corrections and easily implemented improvements by default should always be accepted, posting that you agree with a post is pointless. Everyone should always agree. On the other hand, if you disagree with a suggestion posted in this thread, please do post a response, because your disagreement, by definition, means the suggestion does not belong in this thread.

If someone disagrees with a suggestion you've posted here, then your suggestion didn't belong here in the first place. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad suggestion, though, so if you feel sufficiently strongly about it, and you want to defend it, then by all means, start a new thread for it, but don't clutter up this thread.



TL;DR: if you suspect someone might disagree with your suggestion, don't post here, open a new thread for it. If you want to express support for a suggestion made in this thread, don't post here. If you want to express disagreement with a suggestion made in this thread, do post here. If you want to argue with someone who disagrees with a suggestion, don't post here, open a new thread.

168 ticks is 1 week. Which i think is fair.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

why the limit ? what advantage would you gain by forming a government at tick 400 ?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Next: why is info about race distribution on the Universe -> Misc page? Put that shit on the Universe -> Races page.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why am I being logged out after 2 hours when ticks aren't running?

When I'm logged out, why do I not return to the page I was previously on?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I can click on the headers of every column on the Galaxy page, except for the '#' one. This is dumb.

The same goes for the 'Last Active' column of the Alliance -> Members page.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I still think you should be able to name your asteroids! :(

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

id like to nag about the frozen world option which is gone from the PA skins

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

It has taken us Dutchies a lot longer to form a government. :(

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why when your gal has incs you can click the red Hostile link on the overview to go the Gal Status, but when you're alone to have incs, the same red Hostile link doesn't work.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Appoco said they'd implent the cathar skin and a couple of others by the end of the round.

The round ended... two rounds ago!

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

This message does not take into account the mining bonus. It should be 1280 in this instance.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

It would be rather useful if this list also showed coords, because right now you can't see if your buddies have done their setup stuff. While you're at it, make it a link.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Completely agreed on this one, almost every round I find myself mildly annoyed by this

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

This one really annoys me, I have found no good reason why it doesn't go to gal status screen

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

When I reset my planet, alliance scan sharing settings are kept, but the quest isn't done. Either forget the settings or finish the quest, so I don't have to turn them off and then on.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Do we really need this in the menu bar (ie on every single ****ing page) or can we just put this in one of the sub-sub tabs of the preferences page? The same goes for the "Always Show/Hide Descriptions" on the construction, research, waves and (probably) cov ops pages.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

to this...

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why replacing 1 line with 2 ?
"You have joined your buddy pack" is all we need.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

All experienced players need, new or inexperienced players dont really understand the shuffle :p

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why isn't there a Nationalsocialistic government?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why do I have to click a button to get my startup bonus if there is no choice involved?

And why do quests not start automatically?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Because you can't change your race after you've collected the bonus.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

NFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE
Researchtime: 10 ticks
Research Points: 0/1600

Why is everything underlined in the research page? Makes it hard to read and annoying.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

The captcha. So annoying. :(


I don't know if that's true, but there's no reason why that shouldn't be possible.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

The startup bonus is race-dependent and based on race research/construction points. The idea is to stop people from setting it to e.g. terran or cath to get lots of cu/rp and use them, and then change race.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I said we (using the royal we :D) we working on converting skins. some of them were a lot harder to convert into the ultracool new skin template :(

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

The "your galaxy has incomings" link takes you to the galaxy status page. The "you have incomings" takes you to the overview page. When you click it on the overview page, it takes you back to the same page.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Some people prefer to make sure they can get the quests in the correct order, etc!

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

It's only underlined on the skin you're using; to differentiate links from text.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

As long as the bonus isn't used, there should be no problem.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

How about the Accept resources/roids button on startup bonus screen when all there is is resources? :/

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

STARGATE
Researchtime: 28 ticks
Research Points: 0/4800

In that case, it isn't working properly. Stargate is a link, the rest isn't - everything is underlined. Also, stargate shows up with bold just like a link looks in every other page in-game. Example:

LIGHT FACTORY
Cost: Metal 10,000 Crystal 10,000 Eonium 10,000

Can you just accept that it's wrong and fix the damn thing? It doesn't take more than 2 minutes to change the formatting layout on a page. :/

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

It would be interesting to know what the first page people visit when they login and see they have incs. As they're already on the overview, i guess pointing the link to the gal status would be an improvement.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

CORPORATISM

DEMOCRACY

NATIONALISM
A Nationalist government has impressively high natural alertness combined with enviable income bonuses and a small research bonus. This comes at the expense of slower production of ships and a painfully slow construction rate.

SOCIALISM
A Socialist government has moderate bonuses in mining, construction, production time and stealth, for the benefit of all.

TOTALITARIANISM

Why is there a description only for socialism and nationalism and not for the rest of them also?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why, as GC, are you not auto set to trusted?

Does all "wanted" status reset if the GC changes?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I dont always trust myself so it makes perfect sense to me!

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I always go to gal status. However, if this is going to be a longer discussion, I'd like to ask you to make a new thread for it. In this thread, I'd prefer to stick to simple things that everyone can agree should be fixed.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

The numbers in this table are rounded incorrectly. Using them leaves 1 of a resource type in the fund. Replace floor() with ceil(), please.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why do I get the "you have completed all quests of category X" reward before the reward of the last quest in category X?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Traditionally, on the galaxy page, planets in your alliance are indicated with an "A" in front of them. Please also automatically set the alliance and nick of these planets in the last column.

(Also, unset the alliance (but not nick) of planets that leave)

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

I would love this!

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

On the alliance scan request page, it would be nice to have it say who requested the scan and when it was requested.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Takes you to the startup bonuses page, instead of taking you to the upgrade bonuses as it says.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

64 y:y:y (Pending) Jumpgate Probe
64 x:x:x (Pending) Jumpgate Probe

Both scans are done and got the link via pa-mail. The status hasn't changed and I still have the button to "cancel request" active.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

From what I've seen, if whoever's doing the scan hovers over the scan link for a few seconds before clicking, you can avoid this issue.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

This info should be accessible through History -> Outgoing Fleet. Also add the same info on Incoming Fleet.

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why have a quest to hire 5 agents if you need 10 to do a research hack for the very next quest?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

Why do we have to build a wave amp to do a landing scan, as the scan ignores distorters?

Re: Nagging over tiny things
 

It makes sense that you need some infrastructure to do the scan with.
