A couple more specific UI suggestions

[kate]

Hi,

I was just playing and thought of a couple more things so I am taking a quick break to send them out before I forget.

1)  Add flags to the general map so that I can see who runs each planet easily - it already has the little icons for urban and wilderness  - just add a flag

2) When I have to buy things, go exploring or go harvesting it takes a lot of clicks (too many) to get the values where I want them to be.  It would be nice to have a 10's as well as a 1's button & maybe a button to take the whole crew on away missions.

Back to the game.

kate -

1) Interesting, we've looked at it before but decided not to add it. Working on some flag updates for 4X, perhaps we can look at this again.
2) Just adding more buttons is very hard to support. With over 5,400+ devices supported, this becomes more and more cluttered.

Great feedback! Enjoy!

Fallen,

I don't want to bug you but could you clarify please. I am just curious about app development. What do you mean by cluttered. Is it just that you would have to have a different version of the new buttons for each OS so the code would get to long? Nevermind I will go read a bit more about this and stop bugging you cause I am curious.

kate - too many buttons can hurt as much as the utility that each individual button adds. We support over 5,400 Android devices - from some very small phones to tablets to playing on your TV. Lots to consider. Not saying that adding more buttons on any screen is hard. Jamming more into the Exchange interface definitely adds too much imho.
