My feedback

[rune_74]

Maybe a better way is it fill up all the way and change color and flash?

Rather than extending the bar, you could wrap over it the same way you do the XP debt, except only wrap over once. So if you're at full red capacity, you'd have a red bar. If you're over full capacity, part of the bar will flash. Once you're at more than 100% over capacity, the whole bar will flash, and that would be the maximum displayed amount.

the out of the screen red bar seems to be a bug, not a feature...

The 2nd one is not a bug. I do that so you know how far you are overpowered.

The bar extending works sort of okay for when your components are a bit over, though it always looks bad and during power plant swap looks downright broken. I think it valuable to find a better solution - one that remains contained within the component interface and quantifies how much of a power strain you're at without looking at the ship debuffs.

[gornova]

and using flashing red bar ?

[longshot]

[gornova]

yeah, it's a bug in my mind

anyway, after a new sector (boring one.. explained below), report:
- add icon for localte black box on system/galactic map. Having xp debt is a pain.. and forgot where bb is even more!
- 4 damage for 20 seconds is too much for a trap!
- bug: I've found a way to make a rumor with lithosoid. You need a game only with Lithosoid and another sub-race (Talon for example). You can't make a rumor on Talon, just Lithosoid
- bug: I'm defending a Talon planet from hordes of monsters.. and Talon don't give me some relation bonus, why ?
- reward chest is not so good. I mean at level 18 you need a more bigger weapon, some nuclear reactor.. I've found all the stuff under my current stats!

Congrats on completing 3 sectors. I've not uhh.. accomplished that yet. If you check out my abandoned count... I tend to quit once I've helped my ally become the biggest. I don't enjoy solo'ing planets trying to eliminate the remaining competitors for very long. Some of suggestions I've made are to fix this end game issue. I don't feel like an alliance really does much of anything for me. There is no feeling that we are working together.

You have had some bad luck finding crew it seems.

Here's my ship... I died recently and haven't repaired, so ignore the dead crew, they will be back up to snuff soon. Currently I'm using a bomb because I find that it's AoE damage is much better for defeating planets right now. The range and damage it does compared to any other weapon is a bit overpowered. I'm okay with though because planetary defenders are so difficult to fight unless you exploit them.

Drox Operative / Soldak Entertainment

[gornova]

I want to try with different ship, something smaller, quicker, with fast attacks

here my feedback on .904:
- could be initial relation bonuses with races influenced from captain races? This sounds good to me (-10%=natural enemies, 0%,+10% = natural friends)
- why if a race start from only home planet have a quest for Drox in another system?
- jump gate and map: the fact in map mode near jump gate you cannot see nothing than galaxy map is okay.. bug galaxy map is blockend even you are far away from jump gate
- traps with energy leak in first system is a pain: can be avoided in first system when player is on low level (<5 ? )

This happens to me, when I still have the jump gate selected. Try unselecting it. Can you jump, when this happens?
