Topic: Couple suggestions...

Hello, here's a couple points I had posted in the General Forum, but seeing as they really belong here I hope you'll forgive the duplicate post...

1. Suggestion for your Documentation / FAQs
When I first installed FirstStrike, it crashed immediately upon trying to optimize shaders. Now I know you're working hard enough fixing bugs, but in your documentation and FAQs, you should point out this solution: Uninstall FirstStrike, and reinstall it.

This immediately fixed my mysterious problem, and as this solution seems to fix many other quality programs out there, it seems like a basic troubleshooting step that should be mentioned. You had tips on fixing common "crash to desktop" problems, and I think including this tip could further help newcomers out there.

2. Command by Map
Don't know if you already have this on your to-do list, but it'd be great if we could more easily right-click an objective on the Squad Management map, and be able to place an Attack / Defend command.

I heard that I have to right-click on the top right-ish corner of the icon for an attack order, though it takes several attempts to find the right spot. If we could right-click any part of the icon, that would be a super-handy functionality feature, and squad leaders everywhere will love you!

Just my two cents. smile

Re: Couple suggestions...

Also...

3. Slightly more delay before showing Spawn Map upon death.
You folks obviously put some effort into your ship explosions, and all players should be able to see their own deaths in full 3D glory. But currently the fire of their explosion is almost immediately covered by an annoying spawn screen, and a slight delay (like in vanilla 2142) would give players another opportunity to shout "Cool!" (followed by, "Wait... that was me... frak!"). big_smile
