Here it is! (beep boop)

seeing all the upcoming quality of life for 2.0 / expansion I find myself unable to play 1.0 recently
I need 2.0 NOW

Awesome! Can't wait for October, 21!

Will it be possible to Pin the view around a spidertron?

Amazing additions

Too bad it's still more than two months till we are able to play them.

Speaking of feature creep, I'd love to have multiple viewport GUI windows open, centred on locations of your choice. A bit like how in OpenTTD you can have lots of little windows open showing different areas of the map, or tracking a train. It would be perfect for a multi-monitor setup (speaking of which, any chance of improved multi-monitor support?!).

Wow, a short one. Please, feed us more. Nevertheless, great additions!

Next step - multimonitor support, with the ability to pin remote views to separate game windows and put it on different screens.

The preview feature is sweet! I hope it works for clickable location references in the console log, such as the entry generated when a user pings a location on the map. Sometimes I don't actually want to move my entire view there, but a quick peek would be nice.

Does the player view show the location of other players, or what they are looking at? Or is it a toggle between the two? Seems a little silly to have a view of other people if they're more likely to be standing still but working remotely now!

Now i can shot my friends with artillery easier !

Remind me, can alerts be configured and ungrouped? On late-game 1.1 alerts on a base of a sufficient aize are simply useless. You are getting attacked somewhere either way, so you always have red/yellow flashing, and peogrammable alerts get stacked and put behind them. I have a feeling there was something said about it already.

I remember not noticing a planet with biter meteors running out of nuclear cells, loosing power, and collapsing because of that.

Can you turn the pop ups off in the settings?

I also imagine that (linear) prediction based on the last minute can be quite off when the production is unstable. It should probably be based more on the last 10 minutes.
Also how does it interact with the different colored bottles? I can have a science production of 5k and still miss one pack and things stop progressing.

And you can permanently stalk them to see if they are doing something that triggers your OCD!

the player list and "view player remotely" might also use a "view player's remote view remotely" function

Absolute +1, I love multi monitor in supreme commander and with multiple planets it would be an absolute banger.
Also maybe even a "single player split screen" so the behaviour of multiple screens on one monitor.
Because I have one big 42" that I use a lot like 1 vertical and 1 horizontal monitor.

I was thinking the same thing. With improve remote view, how often does the character move on a planet? I was getting the feeling that more and more was done remotely, meaning the character is just standing around. So the ability to follow the remote view of somebody would be important too!


Is the size of the preview window changeable? Long straight sections of wall might need other window aspect ratios than square blocks with different buildings. The zoom was mentioned, but the aspect not.


+1 for multi monitor support

+1 for science production / research with one color per pack

Does

it was a little bit annoying having to remote view to the labs back on Nauvis

count as confirmation that labs will only be buildable on Nauvis?
