Topic: My List of Suggestions
First off, I love this game. Been waiting to play a game like this on the surface of a planet for six years now.
I've only been playing for about two days, but I've run across several things that I think would make the game more accessible and more enjoyable:
1) Font Size:
Issue: At 1680X1050 and higher resolution the text is very difficult to read. This is coming from people with perfectly normal eyesight and from people with corrected vision.
Solution:Increasing the font size along with the resolution would be great.
2) CTRL Button:
Issue 1: Many people have their VOIP client key bind set for CTRL. When CTRL is depressed while walking, the mech stops walking.
Solution 1: Fix the code so that the mech doesn't stop moving.
Issue 2: The CTRL button cannot be remapped to anything else. Some people have expressed an interest in remapping the CTRL button as the targeting button.
Solution 2: Allow the CTRL button to be remapped.
3) Splitting Ammo: When a mech is outside of a terminal it is not possible to split a stack of ammo and load those stacks into different guns. When this is attempted all of the ammo will load into a single gun.
Solution: Allow ammo to be dragged and dropped into a weapon by stacks without pulling all ammo of that type into that single weapon.
4) Lasers: Lasers use an exceedingly large amount of accumulator per cycle, on top of having the exact same ammo consumption as other weapons. In PVP if someone is running a full rack of lasers, running an armor repper, running a sensor amplifier and is being accumulator drained by an opponent, then they will be dead in the water in just a couple of cycles.
Solution: Either move to an ammo type that only needs to be changed every few shots, or lower the amount of accumulator consumed.
5) Windows: Windows that can be opened outside a terminal/outpost and inside should remain open when deploying or entering said terminal. For instance, if the cargo window is open, and a player deploys, then the cargo window will be closed upon deploying from the terminal.
Solution: Allow windows that can be accessed either inside or outside of a terminal to stay open upon changing states.
