Hi there, not sure if this is in the right section, just a few bug reports i have from playing your awesome new game.
1. I started a new game as alien commander, i clicked to upgrade the hive, and i saw that the increase hive mass button was yellow, i was able to click it, and uppgrade to augemnts within the first 2 minutes of the game.
In a similar seeming error, i have twice been able to mist the hive, when i had no resources to mist. THe mist button appeard to be clickable, i clicke,md and mist was dropped, even though i didnt have enough hive energy to mist.
2. When playing as marine commander on mineshaft, i notice that macs get lost in operations. I find that a mac gets "stuck" and then every time i give him anopther order, he moves up slightly in the air, until he is out of the map, this error is easily repeatable.
3. If one spams the console commands "j1" or "j2" enough, one is eventually able to join a team, even if joining makes the teams even more uneven, i.e. 6 vs 8, it would allow you to join the team with 8 players, making 6 vs 9.
4. On mineshaft, outside crushing, in belt transfer, my marine commander opponent, was able to somehow get arcs in the ceiling!!! my aliens couldnt see them, only i could as commander.
5. Alien commander cant waypoint aliens
6. On mineshaft, in crushing, marines had an incredible hold out there, eventually, the server started to give everyone stutter walks, and the turret factory they placed in front of the power node became invisible!!, this made marines a lot harder to remove, and the server almost crashed from the lag, i suspect that this had something to do with their turret spam, but i am not sure.
7. Sometimes games crash mid game, and restart, i.e. no1 is forced to go into the ready room, they stay on the same teams, have a new first hive grown, and play again.
8. The bug report screeen after an unrecoverable error, is often in teh background, behind a black window that fills the entire screen. THis has meant i am unable to send you the bug report, as i can find no way of closing the big black window, without also closing the send bug report window.
My suggestions:
1. Is mac welding is too powerful?? through experimentation, i discoverd that a single mac can weld a building faster than an onos can destroy it.
2. A function for unstyicking characters, would instantly make the beta more playable.
3. A function to for random team all, would instantly make the beta more playable
4. Those changing teams mid game, are subject to the penalty of loosing all their personal resources, i would like to see the game punish those that change teams UNLESS they are changing teams to an outnumberd team, in which case i would like to see them given 50 starting res, or similar, hopefully this will encourage less uneven teams during the end of a game.
Thats all i can think of for now, warmest regards :)
