Title: Are developpers still taking suggestions? Post by: RiTz21 on August 01, 2010, 07:21:07 pm Is this game still taking suggestions and ideas for improvement? (there is no 'suggestion' section on this board :( )
While playing, a couple of things popped in my head... things to improve play. For instance, it would be cool if there was a sound that would be played when the cargo hold of the planet lander is full (for minerals) That would have saved me some Crew on dangerous planets, where my eyes were on the dangers as opposed to checking the mineral levels :D RiTz21 Title: Re: Are developpers still taking suggestions? Post by: storyyeller on August 01, 2010, 08:57:39 pm I imagine that the goal of the UQM project is to stay reasonably close to the original. Most likely, they're only doing bug fixes and cleaning up the source code.
You're always free to make a mod though. I'm planning on making one myself once I get the time. Title: Re: Are developpers still taking suggestions?

That's the "cargo bay full" noise, and I'm not sure how you could miss it. Title: Re: Are developpers still taking suggestions?

The code has moved since the 0.6.x vintage |
