I know how to get weapons authorization to fire, and I know how to turn power up, but I don't know how to make the weapons fire at the enemy selected.

There's no way that's the entire tutorial, but it seemingly drops me into the game after telling me to adjust power with no explanation on anything else. I've worked out that the slider in the lower right corner apparently controls the time scale, but am I meant to use that or wait for it to advance like in FTL? There are plenty of sliders that I can't interact with and some of them are red, which I'm assuming is bad if the game would tell me what they are?

There's a ? button, but it only explains what parts of different menus do (which I'm grateful for, don't get me wrong).


This looks like an amazing game and I'd love to play it, but the whole introduction seems to be a single message box.

Basically boarding ships was the only way I could defeat them in the early game (my ship weapons were too weak). Then I played as the Galactic Honor Guard and boy it was a different experience. My ship was a whirlwind of death. Combat was really fun.

So I created a few galaxies and took down the DPS of the starting ship for each empire.

Arulzi Collective 3.15, 0.24, 0.32, 1.33, 0.30
Ecumenical Holdings Corporation 21.64, 18.28, 38.06, 8.10, 39.82
Exo-Terran Alliance 1.71, 11.02, 7.32, 3.23, 14.32
Galatic Honor Guard 41.48, 36.97, 16.77, 144.53, 50.81
Interstellar Republic Order 18.11, 60.66, 403.11, 33.90, 128.78
Qannor Republic 0.87, 5.79, 0.75, 4.37, 5.47

I can see there is a lot of random variation (which is cool that is what the game is about!) and that certain empires are generally better than others, which is also cool. I just wonder about the really low DPS scores some empires can get (Really low DPS scores can make completing even the tutorial battle a bit of chore). Maybe you should set a minimum global DPS to prevent the really low scores (which can make the early game less fun).  Just a suggestion either for this version or the new X version.

Loving the game, but I am getting some crashes all related to "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Any idea what causes this?

I don't have any separator in my numbers, so it's a real pain to read them, especially when billions and more are involved.

I can't pan the camera in galaxy map, it's a bit difficult to target a far system because i can only dezoom.
