Alpha .31 feedback

from GalCiv3 Forums

Just started playing the new build, awesome job guys, I like the new maps.

1 issue I had was with the survey ship auto-survey pathing algorithm, in CalCiv2 game (too long since I played the first to remember) if a survey ship was going through unexplored territory and uncovered an anomaly that was closer than its current target it would immediately switch to the closer anomaly.

The current version will complete its current turn, then switch to the closer anomaly.

Seems like a small point, but the current version seems like it 'wastes' those other moves.

Actually, what I remember about GC2 is that the survey ships always seemed to know exactly where anomalies were in unexplored space, which does not match what we were told to expect about the game in general.

I have seen survey ships in GC3 change pilot paths if another ship exposes an anomaly closer than the survey ship's target destination while in "survey" mode.

Speaking of survey ships and auto survey i would like to have an option to turn off survey of wormholes or at least set it to only survey wormholes if no other anomolies are within range
