Hello mithro (and everyone), A less intrusive update process between turns would really help usability.
The client should cycle between a couple of log files. If the client crashes and is restarted before the log file is 'backed up', it's gone forever. There isn't much celebration after winning, some sort of animation in the star map might be neat. (the win message in the message window should probably be permanent too). [A 3D client might be better at this *wink* *wink*] Add a way of selecting the fleet / planet that generated a message; once you have a couple ships with the same name figuring out which one is impossible. One last thing, it's currently difficult to really keep track of a ship's location. A star-system view might be a possible solution. After battle, some way of knowing where your ships end-up without trying to interpret the coordinates on your own would be helpful. (It seems like in some cases my ships have actually left the solar system after battle too) SmokingRope On Another Note: As an experienced 4X gamer, the UI is not all that difficult to use. Things may be different for those with no exposure to the genre.
