Selection box oddity
« on: October 30, 2010, 03:25:18 am »
I'm new to the game, so I don't know if it is working as intended or not. In most planets, when I select a group of units the camera focus elsewhere, usually on metal/crystal fields. In a planet with no metal/crystal it wasn't happening. This is getting annoying, since I want to select the ships and use them, I don't want to select a ship and then don't see it on the screen. Is this a bug?

Welcome to the forums :)

That does sound odd.  Do you have a clear set of steps to reproduce the problem?  I've seen some weirdness during the beta with selections, but I don't think I've ever run into what you just described.  Note that if you press m or c (I think those are the keys) it's going to center on a metal or crystal resource, respectively.

If you can reproduce the problem, please file a bug report in our tracker:

It's much easier for us to keep track (no pun intended) of the stuff there :)

In fact, the selection box here is working in a very similiar way to C. Wherever I use it, even when I select nothing very far away from my planet it will center the camera near crystal fields. In planets with no crystal, it is not happening.
