Why?

Smugglers IV - Doomsday is a fun and challenging turn-based space-trading game where you take command of an advanced space ship amidst a galaxy torn by war and crime! With your ship and skilled crew you can choose to be a greedy trader, ambitious bounty hunter, ruthless pirate, or one of the other professions in your quest for riches, fame, and power! Through trading, fulfilling missions, or pirating, you can earn the money and skills necessary to buy new ships and upgrade your equipment. As success brings larger ships, missions, and enemies, you'll have to manage a crew, board & plunder enemy ships, and even conquer star systems.

Why?

Post by JudgeDredd »

Why is it only the Trading window that has a "window"? It the only one with a title bar and therefore the only one you can move.

It actually looks kind of odd with the title bar - doesn't seem to "fit" with the game...but I understand why you need it...so you can see the cost of items on other planets...which probably answers my own question, right?

Actually it wasn´t there with the first release. At that time it moved automatically depending on which planet you just targeted. I thought it was pretty fine trading with that, but some reviewers and some players didn´t like it. So I included it as a moveable window, which meant using this title bar.

I did notice (in the older demo) that it was not obvious whether you could see all the planets in the system - so could not tell pricing on some planets

If (in the old demo) you would click on a planet close to the trade screen it would switch to the other side. Also you could click (double-click?) on the border of the window and it would switch to the other side. But these days it´s completely moveable as a seperate window now.

Thanks for the praise. I am making games just to provide fun and enjoyment to everyone and it makes me very glad when this happens.
