I hear the lag has been fixed. Considering that was one of the main killers I´m optimistic about this.

Downloading it now.  Hopefully that patch has been implemented.

This new version seems much more stable and smooth.

Only got a few moments to play it.  I think I am going to enjoy this one.

Just to note - the "release" version is still a bit buggy.  It seems to be late beta, really.

One thing I've noticed is my repair drones don't seem to be functioning anymore.  I had a busted up frigate that wasn't able to repair itself, couldn't move, etc, so I sent a couple of those supply ships with four supply shuttle bays and two repair drone launchers each (and later a couple of "custom designs" with nothing but repair drone launchers), but they didn't do anything once they got there.  Just orbited around it, and launched supply shuttles when it needed ammo for me taking command of it and making it fire off a few rounds.

The frigate can't move to be scrapped, the repair ships won't repair, sooo...it just sits there.  Kind of annoying.

A race with negative diplomacy had better build up a nice fleet (likely since it's early game, fighters), otherwise everyone will want to piss on your Wheaties.

Played this a bit last night. Solid purchase, I like it. The diplomacy has a very Star Control vibe with the music and the aliens being colorful in that Starcon2 way. The little owl dudes are like the ZoqFotPik and the cyber guys are like the Mycon.

I can't turn the firing radius of my guns in the designs. Did somebody mention that? Maybe there's something I missed.

Click on the gun, then click and drag in the middle of its arc.  If it's a spinal mounted weapon (railguns or heavy mounted beam lasers, for example), you can't turn it.  Sometimes it can be a little touchy when it comes to where you click and drag.

As MbM said click on it a second time (I always try to hit the upper left corner) then click and drag after move out from the weapon a bit - it seems easier and less touchy to get the arc to move if you are beyond the original weapon.

-edit after I was home and checked how it was done...

How do carriers decide what kind of fighter to stock up with? Can I force them to use a particular design?

I know when you design a carrier you can choose the type of fighter

Speaking of discounts Alpha Centauri is 60% off on GoG and the game includes Alien Xfire which is damn near impossible to get a hold of.
