Might I respectfully suggest that GF put a temporary hold on all development, upgrades and updates and concentrate only on sorting all the existing problems/bugs before embarking on any further "improvements" to the game.
Especially reduce the lag which at times makes the game unplayable. I have high speed fibre optic cable so dread to think what it must be like on dial-up.
These are just some of the annoying niggles.....
Shipyard doesn't always reflect the res already spent.
2 different builds are not are not reflected in fleet screen so the second build gets left behind.
When launching "all fleet" often the recent arrivals get left behind, necessitating a recall and resend.
Lifeform research doesn't update for the next level when building a que.
And those pop up messages that tell you that something has or has not been done are totally unnecessary. I appreciate that GF has little regard for the players, but why oh why do we need telling twice when there is existing info that tells us already.
