Hi there,
so i used the Search and found a lot of closed topics.
If moderators should decide to close mine as well, please merge at least merge the contents into the appropriate Thread.
GC3 is great in a lot of ways. But it also has a lot of flaws. I would like to start posting my notes and maybe someone knows a solution to some of my problems or can point me to a posting from developers if some issues already got acknowledged.
Game Map mini Map:
- Zoom to cursor only on game map
- Click+Drag to scroll on different buttons for each map
Closing and Leaving Menues:
- ESC doesnt work on Diplomacy
- ESC doesnt work on Designer
- Using the X of notifications doesnt close them.
Shipyard Manage:
- 60% to 75% of the screen is wasted space used to display model preview from the designer. It is beautiful but useless and i call it a waste because there could be up to 3 additional columned lists for specific hulls or search results or whatever. As it is now, The actual active area is tiny. (List has 20% and Ship Stats and Buttons 12% of the screen + 8% if counting the build order list)
- Amount of available (non-obsoleted) ships can be extensive but only gets 20% of the screen to be navigated through.
- The List display only 11 entries at a time, got no search. Even if using the sorting options above, you have to scroll a lot to find stuff.
Information:
- Sometimes need to check maintenance cost of an active ship in the civ.
- A ships menu opened via double click does not display maintenance cost.
- The Details Tab of the specific ship menu does not display the maintenance cost.
- To see the maintenance cost, look for a Shipyard to access the menu or use Designer Menu, scroll through lists until you find it, and then not being able to leave the Designer menu by ESC hotkey. Tedious!
If I click a ship i should obtain information fast and in 1 or 2 clicks. But this method takes between 5 to 20 seconds, 4-5 clicks and eventually scrolling.
