Loved SE IV and the games is was based on. Excited to try the demo but...
1) Combat. Is this an arcade game? Is this an fluke on AMD systems? I mean at 1x things are flying around so fast it is CRAZY to the point of being absurd. You have a 1x to 8x so we can make tracks to jump points and planets. How about allowing us to zoom down to 1/8th speed. I really consider it unplayable (I am sure there are plenty who feel they can handle it the way it is). This really must be corrected.
2) A Key to say orbit the planet I have targeted. Nothing like bopping around and end up to close to planet so when you exit buying stuff you find you a hair off and run into the planet. I want to have a planet targeted (Should not matter how far away I am) which says when I get close automatically park me in orbit. If the user changes course you cancel it. This is not a must but would be really nice.
I think I saw a post on arrows to show you which way the bad guy went. I second that. For that matter. How about a box around all targetable objects. You could make this configuarable. Turn it off/on for ships, planets, etc. it is hard to spot things and you could have some way of knowing something is there. If it is close enough to target I should be able to see it.
Thanks,
Robert
