Do you think an option to turn off "growth" animation in SG1 would be helpful too?
Would be helpful turn OFF THIS ----->>

Dear toecutter,
I have to say fair to the last update that it is really very good. The changes make sense and the game becomes more interesting. What continues to bother me are the things I have already mentioned several times. You know I do not want to play a game that makes me rage on some days. This is not good for me and my health. That is why I make a "break". I will be logged in the game but will not play all day. But all in all, you have improved the game significantly with the last update. Very well done.
...There
is a way to produce stuff without burns, so the option is present at least.
True. Not find produce CPU without burns but find how to decrease them... (secret #N+)
Such many secrets in game... Expose some of them to all of us and let see newbies where they should go. Or you can cover all things in secret place for "chosen" and ask for new players forever.
Energy Bar...
I've ran a few quick tests myself and everything looks about right (if you account for energy bar jumping around), so additional data to reproduce this would be very helpful.
Quick tests? Really?! I'll show you lightning test at evening time when 50+ players online! SCN-An Basic Scanner consume 20 energy, BUT it jump from 100 on starter ship to 60(!) then to 80!? Five Privateers equipped with 3 mining lasers with 0/x durability and each ship have X/X durability and X/X 2x reactors should regenerate 23/min*5=115 energy. So I should have 195 energy and ready lasers, BUT I have READY lasers and LESS energy!
Your main problem is that you do not play in your game. You have all options to test anything in 'real time' like cooldowns, earnings and much much more things. But what do you do? Log in like superuser without advertisements, with high server priority. Looks like you play in different game, which looks like this 'diagram':
...diagram:
TIME PROCESS1 EVENT1
12:00 NPC picks target
12:10 NPC checks if it is cloaked
12:15 Player cloaks
12:30 NPC does some other checks
12:45 NPC fires
Try register new player, complete tutorial and mine some asteroids. Then compare spent time and earned satoshi. You still want play?
