GUI/"usability" questions and requests

from GalCiv3 Forums

Played Crusade 3.05, I think the interface could still be improved somewhat:

 

1. Ship desginer: I remember older screenshot that show a "designer" button it in-game in the top area of the screen  - why is it gone? Do I really have to go through the shipyard every time, or is there a shortcut? Seems like unwanted extra clicks.

 

2. Ship desginer: are there keyboard shorts for turning the ship around to place things - if not can they still be added?

 

3. Shipyard: it would be easier if I could just *obsolete* older design right here without going to the designer for this

 

4. General observation: I sometimes get overlapping messages from the AI, and then just the last one can be read properly.

Another item that seems to get ignored a lot is the planetary "auto-upgrade" issue.

Will we ever get the option to turn that off at a Civ-wide level? I don't always remember to disable it on a planet-by-planet basis (it's a real PITA). You have to open another window for just that purpose. Then I must leave the planet screen to "attach' a shipyard, then come back to the planet to add a building, then since I have to make sure I remembered to turn Auto-upgrade off, I have to open that window-- again. Shee!

Please, please let me turn that blamed thing off in the settings when I begin a game. I'm begging you.

I would much rather turn it on manually, which I would never do.

TNX,

Richard
