| Summary | 0014058: Idiot-proofing the tech tree: How to tell which techs help you directly? | ||||
| Description | Hi. I'm the idiot. =3 I'd like to make a suggestion regarding your tech tree. I know you state during the tutorial that some techs will help you directly, and I'm aware that the tooltips will help you pin down what's going to help you in your quest for killin' things. However, that requires me to look at every last one of the tooltips if I'm looking specifically for ship/science/etc. upgrades that directly benefit me, and this isn't like Civilization where I can ALWAYS be sure that a new tech is going to do so, even if it's not in a way I plan to personally use - the fact that the tech names don't really make it clear what will do what without checking the tooltips doesn't make it any easier to guess. So I had an idea. I note that there's a column in the tech tree that lets you know which techs you possess. Maybe you could consider adding some sort of marker inside that column for technologies that have a specific, direct effect on the player character's ship/science/etc. performance, or otherwise making it a little clearer where the path to self-improvement lies? | ||||

This is such a hugely fantastic idea! Wow that helps usability even for me, nice going. :D * In the Hydral column of the tech tree, there is now an empty-looking green checkbox for any techs that you don't have but that would directly benefit you (as opposed to the ones that have effects mainly/only for races). |
