So, first would like to say that this is a pretty interesting game that has me hooked for some reason. Anyways, found this forum and it looks pretty active so I figured I'd just write up a few of my concerns. I just now upgraded to 2.9.2, so my version prior was, dunno. Something lower.
As it is right now, I just played through on the easiest difficulty setting to get a feel for the game.
Haven't noticed too many random bugs. The biggest one is that when I was exactly 500 reputation with a faction, it said my title was "None".
Also a weird one was I was traveling through space, some event happened, and when I exited out of the event, my ship had 'teleported' somewhere else on the map. When I moved and the screen shifted/updated, I was back where I was originally. Never saw it again, kinda weird.
Something else that kind of seems weird. I've noticed that I randomly lose my trade permit. I'm not really sure what exactly causes that or what I can do to recreate that really. I also randomly lose my death warrant. This seems to happen after I attack a ship for the faction I have that warrant with, even if I'm in a bounty hunter mission. Would make sense that if I "carry a warrant of death and justice/both military and civilian" that if I was in my official duties in a contract that I wouldn't lose that warrant on completion of my mission.
Another feature that would be nice would be an autopilot feature. If you set a waypoint, clicking that would move you automatically. It's kind of frustrating to have something 18AU away, and run into another ship 5-6 times, having to scroll across the map just to move again.
Along those same lines, do you have to run into every ship all the time? Not every ship really wants to run into you either. An option to be able to avoid certain types of ships would be nice, but they could still chase after you. Besides, if you're a level 18 military officer with 500+ reputation, why would your own faction's warships care about you?
An option to be able to turn off certain warnings would be nice. Such as exiting the zoomed map.
I think I ran into aliens once. Getting alien technology for your ship would be cool.
And the biggest thing I haven't seen yet really. Where is this game going? I see the awards now in the updated game. That's nifty. But it doesn't seem like there's any end to the game? Some sort of goal to be able to 'beat' the game to work towards would be nice.
Thanks for listening.
