Are you kidding? You guys are the only response we get to what's broken in dev gal. Without you who would do all the rigorous testing required to launch a newly developed feature, bugfix, or whatever?  Head banging

 We eagerly await commentary on the modifications placed live for the first time in dev gal. So go on. Push buttons you shouldn't. Select options that don't go together. Try your best to break it. This is a beta test, not some walk in the park.  Hijacked!

There is another bug.  On the new fleet control page under move fleets, planets show up in the tab that you don't have any ships at.  These are probably systems that allies have fleets at, but I'm not sure.  I do know that they shouldn't be there though.

ok thats fixed, and now the "No Rally Star" option works.

things left to do on the page:

1. make the orders populate with what the current orders for the fleet are when loading the page (or when more then one, the orders of the top fleet)

2. add details to the planet lists, similar to what you see on the move fleet page, so its easier to pick the right planet.

What I was wondering...

to increase playability of large empires, is it possible to make it easier to build on your planets? For example: All systems with ore 85% < get 350 mines on it.

Now sometimes you have to go by 50 systems one for one (see also: DM) and it nearly takes a whole tick to cover it.

I just tried to change the orders of a fleet via the 'Fleet Control' page using 'Select a Planet to Modify Fleets on:'

The fleet is/was moving.

The radio button for adf status wasnt already checked when the page loaded.

I changed orders to 'Target Capitol Ships' BTW, that should be capital.

I didnt select what the fleets adf status should be, I thought it would keep it as is. A blank page loaded when I hit the button to send the orders and the orders were not updated.

Did you click the checkbox of the fleet you wanted to select?

and yes if you dont choose an ADF option, then it will stay as is.

Moving fleets are now modifyable from the fleet orders page, thats the main idea for doing this.

It was a moving fleet, I tried to change the orders via the fleet control page, it didnt work.

Do you know what happens if you are general and tell a single fleet to 'join adf' and apply to all fleets at and to this star? They all go non adf.

That's not the point of this testing. The point is to have the new code Hal is making tested. And the point of that code is to do all of this stuff without the map.


On a lighter note, I'm going to do some final testing of the NAP bounce code and stamp it with a seal of approval to go on to the next step.

For that I need a volunteer.
Heh heh heh....
