The problem with ewar here is that combat mechanic in perpetuum is quite simple (compared to eve). In eve in order to land a show you need to have proper traversal speed, range, ammo-size-to-target ratio, turret rotation speed and couple more things. And with all those parameters in place it opens you up for a lot of interesting ewar which already is there (and used in smaller scale engagements very often) like weapon disruptors which lower your optimal range or turret rotation speed.

Then I have no idea why it didn't pick up hmpf, maybe a screw-up during transfer? Well, feel free to can this topic (although having the configs where they should be still would be nice).

Hmpf are you 100% sure that all settings are there? I moved everything but the big uns, and my UI setup didn't load till i moved the mountains (as advised in corp chat).

I just migrated from old to new pc and had to copy over the big annoying files over just to carry over the settings. Not exactly a good solution, as it also makes backing them up pain in the behind, so could we get them separated away, either loosely into the game directory or where they belong (c:/user/name/)?

Her currency is £ ... she bought the game via Steam ... if there is anyway one can actually use Steam to purchase the credits, please, let me know.

I'm the one getting it in the neck, 'cos I persuaded her to try the game. hmm

Go through the website, simply log in with your steam account and buy the credits there with steam wallet as payment option.

She'll probably give up ... your loss. roll

Because this isn't matter of connection issues but an isuses with currencies, apparently devs are aware of it since april:

yes, she can ... but cannot find anywhere where Perp have hidden the "get more" credits on Steam. smile

Well as I said in first post - it's broken currently if you have different steam currency (different from euro), so she will have to do it through the website (which works fine and has steam wallet integration).

It is an issue if you are using different than euro currency, workaround is to just sign to the website with your steam account and do the purchase there (you can pay with your steam wallet).

Correction: right corner.

Ugh, why didn't I think of that wink?

Thanks mate, although having it dump automatically would also be nice (and will save me from raiding local cache files for the data) wink.

In similar way we get chat logs saved to disk, could we also get CSV dumps of browsed markets (ideally optional button to dump data for currently opened market for all items)?

First - make combat missions, well, about combat, not about scanning for artifacts or scouting chassis's of 5 identical miners or one big mob, twice, and then killing him. I mean from my combat missions I expect combat and the last one thing I want to do is go and hunt for artifacts (which I just can't stand as game mechanic). Maybe there should be another category of missions for those hybrids? Something like "discovery", or "scouting" or "misc".

My other suggestion is the obvious one - more variety. You can't imagine how boring it gets when you have to keep griding 3 missions over and over, with zero variety. Maybe at least make the sites more random? Or amount of npcs/type more random? Well, something because as it is 3 missions gets old really quick. I understand that there is much more challenge in designing missions here since you do not just warp to random place in space, but I can see how it will make a lot of people run for the hills.

Sure, but imagine screenshots of that circling around the internet, representing the game. It might be fine for you, but it's certainly not the best advertisement.

I promise to release them only as a pair with similar screenshots from time when this issue plagued you-know-which-game and I had sprite hack running there wink.

I get your point though, but that still leaves the priority question which kinda is an answer on it's own.

This is not a two-minute fix: The problem is that the GUI DESIGN itself (i.e. the actual skin of Perpetuum) wasn't drawn to be "stretchy" like a website. This was sadly an early oversight that we can't hack-fix. hmm

Never said that making it stretchy would be a two-minute fix, just that there may be a hack with font sprites by replacing them with large ones (which would open big can of other issues, but for me that would be more than fine). And nothing to feel not-so-good about with it, oh so many mmos (even the big E) did that mistake early into development wink.

One question remains though - is that somewhere even near the pipeline, or more like on the bottom of a very dusty shelf?

I have a resolution of 1920x1080 and have no problem reading anything on screen, but my screen is 24" I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Lowering below recommended resolution is far from ideal that I understand.

I hope the Devs could work something out but it might take a while for that to be fixed. Maybe sooner, since Gargaj seems to be on steroids these past few weeks tongue

2'' make a lot of difference, it also depends how far you sit from your screen. I am sitting in front of my PC a lot so i have comfy wing-back chair i can rest my back on, not the uncomfortable and painful "recommended" chair where you sit up-straight and about 70cm from the screen (which makes my eyes pop out in pain as it's way too close).

And if that is the case, we can put something special in Gargajs feeding bag wink.

Unfortunately the only option is to lower your screen resolution because increasing UI font size requires a complete UI overhaul.

Lowering the resolution is not an option for LCD monitors as it will distort the visuals, unless you got some low-res monitor from the get go (for example native 720 instead of 1080). And while doing it right would require some overhaul of the UI (not all of it, but also not a five minute task), it is a necessary step as 1080 is here and this is what most people use, and more will use it for gaming with every month as gaming pcs with enough power to output playable frame-rate are more and more affordable.

Did you check to use large font under options? I think it is mainly for the chat window.

That option is what made chat readable, but it doesn't help UI one bit.
If they don't have the time to make UI scale properly with font, mark it as experimental setting (oh hell, even in config file for now) as I do not care if the text will overlap with some elements as long as I will be able to read it without squinting.

With the ships you get, it would be nice to get access to tier 1 missions of your chosen factions as a bonus. The assault bot you get is powerful enough to fly through tier 2 missions, and tier 0 it just pulverizes (literally, you will one-shoot everything there) so with that in mind save the new guys some of the senseless grinding of the 3 missions in rotation.
