Open beta: Going in and out of port

[Cat Lord]

Would it be possible at all to change the GUI to allow the player to open the fleet / trading posts panels from the strategic map without going into a port ?

This seems to be what slow down the game the most. I keep having to transition between the two, when this is the most common and regular action ingame.

yes that nerved, only way to bypass that is to make automatic trade routes, but if you want to build a ship or upgrade buildings you have to go in port, it slow down the game, a little interface for building ships, buy good and upgrade buildings on the strategie map will be a really really nice feature^^

btw: i like the game, it looks great, the water is really nice

I don't mind having to go to the port interface from time to time, but at the moment, at the beginning of the game with few ships, you don't create trade route if you want to fulfill your campaign missions. So you spend your time waiting between load screen.

Try disabling the 3d ports, I think it is the culprit. If 3d disabled, a 2d graphic will be shown. amnd loading times will be faster.

But I would prefer to use port GUI from strategic view too. An option to do that and ignore the port mode would be very high on my wishlist. The whole 3d ports thing is kinda superfluous to me. However, this will be hard to accept for the developers, because I am sure they put a lot of work into it ..

You can access it from the graphics options on the main
menu...can't be in game to access them.
