I find planets with lots of ruins, water and regimes to be the most fun.

Arid planets or metal poor planets, what is the fun in just waiting for the research you need?

Been playing the betas. Probably a cut supply line. The AI doesn't protect them very well but it will send a unit in deep to cut them.

<t> Back to the original question.<br/> <br/> Heavy MG infantry brigades. Then upgrade those to Mechanized Heavy MG Infantry brigades. Upgrade those again to a corps if I'm needing it. I can take ground with troop carriers, infantry and MG. I avoid the Motorized formations as the trucks get blown up...

Didn't realize about the tectonic plates, that's interesting.

I just don't like what we are currently given. A single point of metal in some random spot that is not near hills or mountains. A quick google will show the reality of metal mining is basically the opposite.

<t> Currently metal and rare resources feel detached from the landscape. They should be distributed more like ruins show up on planets.<br/> <br/> Varying amounts of metal scattered in a small patch of hexes. Tiny patches for rare. For example: One high resource spot with a two neighboring low value...

Did you check the zone inventory? It goes in the zone, it'll take a turn for it to be shipped to the SHQ.

Yes, it was in the zone inventory. Thanks!

Searched the forum but couldn't find anything on this.

The high tech vault card doesn't provide any of the resources it should. When paid for, it says you get so much of this and that. None of it actually shows up.

A volume slider for the voice acting would be nice. I'd like to make it very low or off while playing.

When a new turn is ready, I'd like the game to play a notification sound. This should happen even if the game is minimized. We could then mod it to customize the sound.

<t> I do the same thing during planet creation. Lots of re-rolls. More control during planet creation would save time and cause less frustration.<br/> <br/> The name and flag can be completely changed during creation.<br/> <br/> The random starting position doesn't bother me. Don't see a need to cha...

I'm playing the current Steam release. Is it my imagination or is the AI noticeably better when used in slow mode.

I'd like to try out your free game but the FTP site seems overloaded. May I suggest using Bit Torrent instead. It would be a perfect method to distribute something like this without having to supply all the bandwidth yourselves.
