Borg Update Thoughts?
So the latest update. Lots of stuff to praise, like warpable cadet missions. However, it seems like DB needlessly spends time on "improvements" the game doesn't need.
Case in point: once again changing the layout of crew selection for shuttles. Last update made text smaller, this just changes layout with no noticable improvement.

I'll say this for the new giant text size for mission recaps: it is great! It will definitely take some getting used to, but I think it is great; so much better. One thing though, it is a bit complicated when you have a supply kit open, as not all of the rewards can be shown, but I consider that a minor thing, and the large print is going to be a boon for people with poor eye sight.
I am also loving the new load screen, the new game icon, the cadet warping, etc. Overall, I think this is going to be tremendous.
I wish DB would give an iPad to the janitor so he can click on every screen and report bugs before they release a new version. How hard is it to do basic QA (too hard I guess).
Meep meep
I'm not sure if the visual stuff was needed or not, but does make sense if it helps with the new phones etc.
overall Im happy about it
Edit: the vault has a weird gap on the right side now.
Now rows are 5 across instead of 6. Since everything is bigger, there is more scrolling required.
Must be the specific code for your device. My Vault is still 6 across with no gap.
same for me,mine is still rows of 6 crew ,loved the new updates only less good is for shuttles mission is not the best crew to be the first one in the row for the mission u need to class it be skill
78 FE ,78 Lvl 100,
Immortalized: 190
Vip:12 Lvl :64
Nope, I am also seeing that on my iPhone 8.
As someone with an iPhone Xs Max, I can tell you it's worse. Especially the fleet window.
I wish they'd address actual problems instead of messing with the windows. Like in the cryostasis screen, can we PLEASE include frozen crew in order when we sort by stats? Come on!
I see they added the space for 4 skill crew and 15 stars! *kookoo*
I love the amount of crew that appear on the screen when I am looking at my crew roster for example, that seems to fill the screen well. I think the vault could benefit to similar scaling to fill the screen well, since it's essentially the same thing displaying crew.
Please also apply the same scaling to components in inventory and fully fill the screen, to at least make it somewhat easier to manage. Then sort by volume of components, and add an optional filter for unique crew components AND THEIR NAMES (when selecting for replication) and we'd be really getting somewhere.
I am scared to launch Steam. Some of this must look ridiculous on a large high res screen.
Actually it looks the best on Steam, and on my 16x10 ratio screen.
It’s brilliant for the first time
Obviously all the obvious errors with the different resolution and scaling mentioned above and in the engineering thread, but the seeming lack of thought in usability and presentation of information is pretty disappointing too and makes you wonder what, if any, QA/testing was carried out.
There are some improvements, cadet warping, readability of some screens, etc, but responsive design isn't new anymore and for an app popular on differing mobile platforms more consideration should've been made to this important area.
😂😂😂
You must be new to Timelines. Welcome.
I TOLD that eye doctor I didn't need bifocals... hahahaha!
Full screen steam all the time!
