Cruiser Command

agreed with cat, the majority of us did agree that patch notes should be elsewhere, lets get some detailed instruction for new players on there.

Two other low priority things to add to this list: a custom/cleaned up UI, and tweaks to make replays easier/more informative to watch. In a replay it's hard to see power levels, mineral levels, upgrades, etc.

My current focus before I leave is to make boarding more playable in various ways. I am also going to try and do a lot of bug fixes and balancing to leave the game as stable as possible during the summer. I might also work a bit on making it easier to pick up for beginners.

DumbMarine, a better replay interface is something I'd really like. It will probably have to wait until I get back though.

As this is a "roadmap" thread I wanna suggest something that we in star battle just started using.

Thank you Wildfire, that looks like an excellent tool. I'll look into it.

if you would like a view inside, I can give you an account to view what it kinda looks like on the inside

That would be great. I was considering PMing one of you for an account.

Hullo Siretu, after polishing boarding....
the next thing that i would like if you worked on is Tutorial and making the loading screen more New player Friendly and generally helping new people out, alot of bad reviews are because people dont get whats going on and i think we can change it with more info.
If not its cool

some people are just idiots, and they forget its a strategy map.

But yeah the loading screen needs work, needs an explanation and recommendations (new players are recommended to mine to learn the basics of flight, survival, and reading radar)

Patch notes can be linked elsewhere.

I just wanted to give you guys an update. The reason I pushed out boarding a week earlier than planned was because I knew I was going to be very busy this week. I've basically had no time to work since last weekend.

However, I do read the forums regularly and I know there are several things you guys want me to do urgently. I'll list them and you can tell me if I missed something:

* Improve the information for new players (there are some small problems with this since I don't have the layers file for the loading screen so if I want to change stuff on the loading screen, I'll have to skip the nice metallic border that rofl added). This is a big project and I dont think I'll be able to work as much as I'd like on this before I leave. I'll try to fix the loading screen however.

* Battlecruiser Collision. There has been several suggestions on the subject and it's probably the issue I'll address first when I get the time.

* Polishing boarding. I think there's still a couple of things to do here. Some bugs to fix and some other stuff to do(like making boarding doable with full hangar for example)

I think that's about it. I know there's been a ton of other suggestions and stuff, but I feel like these are the major points that basically everyone agrees that they should be fixed asap.
