what about the PAUSE!!!!!!!!!

[midnightjoker]

OK i understand people like to play the fast paced way but please god put a pause feature in this game.

It would allow for neat things like:

- actually being able to have time to look at the nicely detailed ships doing their thing instead of always scrambling to keep up.
- allow you to use all those genes and have time to organize the loadout on your ships.
- being able to properly use the special weapons that need to be manually activated and targeted per ship.

Other than that its pretty fun so far.

the game does some weird things with systems that have dual monitors as well but not a show stopper.

took me about 20 minutes to figure out that the green fist in diplomacy means peace. maybe a popup tool tip would help there.

The dual monitor thing probably isn't a priority. Considering there are few who have the money/desk space for dual monitors, so while its nice to support, there's not going to be a massive rush to fix something like that for the few that do unless they find a significant number of players are having the issue.

Haven't had an issue with needing a pause feature yet. I can seem to control things fine. You're probably better off not using it anyway. There is no pausing games in multiplayer =p

aye a pause feature wouod be so much appreciated, it makes it much easier when you're trying to manage special weapons in some fo the single player missions. (at least the second sp mission in the demo)

Agreed pause button MUST be in this game, as well as save button. It's not possible to micromanage units properly without pause button. I can't believe those morons didn't include these simple features, shite game''s sux :mad:

Okay I admit this is a bit of thread necrology, but since it's pertinent and I didn't see a point in making up a new thread so here goes:

I recently reinstalled this game for something to keep me entertained over a slow weekend and after downloading the latest patch (1.044) I noticed in the key config of the options menu at the main screen there IS now a pause function! (Mapped to f10 by default which I easily remapped to Q)

Best of all you CAN issue commands to units while the game is paused! :D

Not sure which patch this came out in, but it's a immense improvement to the game over the previous versions and makes skirmish much, much more satisfying.

A big thank you to the devs for actually adding in this feature.
