Well, I've just tried smugglers 3 for the first time after installing Hal version 9. It's been a few weeks sinse I last tried it anyway, and sinse Hal 9 involved some virtual focus tweeks I thought I'd see what happened.
well, Dolphin said that Hal 9 was supposed to be more consistant over different screens and yee gods, that seems to be the case in smugglers 3, just for the heck of it, i played through the tutorial, sinse the Vf was able to stay on the tutorial windows successfully and not overlap stuff. i can't wait to see how it handles the crew recruitement screen, sinse before I always had to do that by counting down the various selection buttons for the different crew types, which was a miner pest. The galaxy map stil has the miner problem of trade prises slightly disconnected to their systems, but using the read list box feature and F6 to read the currently selected item, it's fairly easy to get the prices, ---- even if I have to click on whichever system I want and then read the list box, rather than just relying on the prices listed under each system. I'm also trying out smugglers 2 at the moment. It looks fairly useable, and has some interesting game variations, ---- particularly that there are only two factions and the syndicate is underground, but the fact that the trade prices are in a separate index to the travel screen,slows and have to be checked planet by planet slows things up slightly. There is an interesting thing though about selecting or creating different game modules with a new add on which sounds intreaguing. if anyone else has tried smugglers 2, let me know what you thought of it.
