@cory Talking about map, I was just wondering : do you think it could possible to have, instead of the general map on the bottom left of the screen, some map of the area we are in ? There could be different colors for each kind of building ('cause I think symbols would be too little for small screens like mine)... this way, the general map would be a document we'd have to buy and refer to in our pad... (I, personally, tend to use more the detailled map than the general one)
I also noticed that the small map doesn't take all the space it could : there's still a black unused border around it. Is this intentionnal ? It may as well come from the size of my screen...

a lot of the choices are related to how much memory / graphics we can load at one time.
we will continue to work to improve the UI and minimap display. the size and dpi of your screen may cause the layout to be slightly different than it would be on a reference device.
if you feel that the different is incorrect (for example, on your screen the map cannot be seen, or is distorted) that would a bug. Android requires a "common denominator" so across a family of phones the game may look slightly different.

Understood, boss ! For example, if I can't see a button when given a choice during encounters, THAT would be a bug ?
(but I don't think that's the right thread for this, so I'll maybe talk about it in the device one)

yes a a great reason to start a new thread about that specific issue. otherwise, it will get lost in the threads and i'll fix it from the sheet without posting a response to you

@cory
1) I like the hidden buildings, taxi into an area & have to walk to your building. Taxi's aren't going to know about Trash filled House or Burnt out building and so on.
2) I like the idea of a Super Map. I like looking around at things and it's handy for planning out where to go to next.
Thanks for the awesome job you're doing.
Hope your week is going well.

Line of sight is not needed to shoot enemies. Don't think its fair I can shoot around corners.
New ladder contact doesn't give you gateway pass in equipment after being qualified, & doesn't acknowledge you as qualified once becoming so.
Assassinations pay less than package & message runs, should be reverse, to compensate for higher risk & ammo cost

Genji, I believe the mission pay is related to distance, not type

In a way I am in agreement with Genji. DHL type jobs only contain a potential for risk. Where as with an Assassination you KNOW you'll be putting yourself at risk. I also understand that raising your Negotiate(sp) skill will increase the payouts you get.

I'm going to re-write the Contract Payment system from the ground up.
Stay tuned for a brand new bag

It would be fun if you could open the package using your electronic skill. You would lose faction rep but get a random item.

Grey Eye -- I love that idea. we were looking for a way to "betray" but the pawn shop seemed too simple.
I think the idea of an Electronics test is great. Maybe we could get Andrew to update the package to include some type of "techno-lock" so that it looks less like UPS =)
Then we can have different results:
- Package Alerts Authorities
- Package Explodes
- Package Triggers Tracking
- Package Contains Money, Pay Data, Special Gear
Other?

Package contains portable fold up cyborg love doll. Seriously though, that's a fantastic idea.

I think a 'new drone' is a little bit too good to find in the package. The "Drone Trigger" is going to have to do a bit more work than just popping open a delivery box =)

When I read the post about a "love doll" the first thing I thought of was the "Antonio Banderes Love Doll" from South Park...
But seriously, I think a package could possibly contain ammo, 6 HP medkits, any level of pistol, or a random V-Chip from either faction involved in the mission.

I don't know if this is a bug, but while doing some DHL mission, I've picked up some packages from various locations and am now headin back to the hand over place and I get ambushed and kill by lucky soldiers with AK47s.
I awake with the job expired, but with the packages intact in my inventory. What am I supposed to do with them? I'm currently selling them as mystery gifts to pawn shops since I can't open them...
