Hello everyone, I just recently got the game with the steam release. It's a load of fun! Kyzrati, thanks for making such a fun game. I'm still pretty terrible at it, but I know my first win is gonna happen soon. I had a few questions about the game, particularly the interface. I bet most of these questions have simple answers, so I apologize if these questions have been asked before.
1. With a data box pulled up, enter on the numpad pulls up the tooltip (the little box with the blue text that shows up when you look at class, size, or rating in an enemy data window, for example), but it doesn't close it nor do the numpad arrow keys close it. However, normal enter and normal cursor keys close it. Likewise, enter on the numpad does not recenter to your character in the map view like normal enter does. And there are possibly other numpad inconsistencies that I'm forgetting. Is this intentional design?
2. Can you compare items on the ground in keyboard mode like you can with keyboard mode disabled by right clicking objects?
3. Can you move cogmind to your cursor in keyboard mode like you can by clicking?
4. Full detail mode in the combat log usually says what it hit and how much damage it does, but sometimes says stuff like "Assault Rifle (89%) Hit" and doesn't say what it hit or how much damage, and it seems to happen randomly. What does that mean?
5. Just to make absolutely sure, when looking at enemy modifiers, a red bar and a negative percent means resistance, and a green bar with a positive percent is a weakness, right? The tooltip says 'pluses represent greater damage.' Is this the same for cogmind in the status window under resistances? If cogmind is resistant to something, it will be a red bar with a negative percentage? It seems backwards.
And not really a question but more of a tiny bug: while in keyboard mode in a data window of an enemy, when inspecting components or armaments, if you close the second data window of whatever you're inspecting and quickly move the cursor in the primary data window of the enemy, the selection moves back to whatever you were initially inspecting, but in reality your real selection is on wherever you moved the cursor. ie you examine a wheel on an enemy, close the window and quickly move the selection down to another item, the selection warps back to wheel even though if you push enter again, you'll open the other item.
I would ask more questions but I'm too busy playing to type more. Btw thanks to anyone who responds to this thread. Hope I posted this in the right spot
