Yes, it's suppressed outrage at people demanding to be protected from their own mistakes.
Thank you capnq

You may have hit the nail on the head.

If so, it would appear that the suppressed anger is so great that they would even deny people their right to ask for change.

But why is there such a deep rage in the first place? Where did it come from?

Edit: Just a small point. We haven't even got to the point of requesting a change. Maybe the poll will show there wouldn't be much point in doing so. So the rage must be huge!

No rage or anger here. If you think a change is needed go ahead and e-mail MM. I don't think you need permision from anyone here.

Why can't those of us who have experienced a loss of a +20 experienced fleet participate in a poll and pass it on to Aaron?
How about, instead of handing Aaron a uselessly-biased poll, handing him one that DOES reflect the TRUE impact of that aspect of gameplay?

After all, if 90% or more of people don't even MAKE the mistake, handing Aaron a poll that only indicates "80% of respondants were extremely upset by feature X" is grossly (and IMO unforgivably) misleading.

Come up with a fair, unbiased poll, and I'm behind you all the way.

Otherwise ... *shrug*

What I would like to see is a confirmation when you accidently hit upgrade in the construction window and do a global upgrade.

Your not being realistic, your being argumentative just for the sake of it. If you were being realistic, you would not assume what is not important to you is not important to a company or person. IE: how a customer feels about a part of their product.
Umm... no. This has always been an issue, since the beta Versions of SE4. If Aaron thought it was a significant problem, he would have done something about it by now. Since he has not, we can only conclude that he does not consider it to be a very big deal (since I know people have emailed him about it before).

Just because I do not agree with you does not mean that I am "being argumentative just for the sake of it."

I (like anyone) can make guesses about how important something is or is not. I do not have to be the game developper to do so.

Now that one would indeed be a useful feature that would be worth having Aaron spend his time on.

And to Tbontob: Is that enough rage and anger for you? Too bad I can't do more in one post. j/k

They shouldn't be. You should have so many 20xp fleets that you sometimes delete them intentionally.

I've only accidentally deleted a fleet once. It was a pain have to go back and redo my turn when a simple "confirm" check would have prevented it.
