Harbinger PC Early Access Feedback

((haven't read any of the above yet, as I don't want to be influenced by other's))

Just downloaded for PC (64bit Win7 system)

My first game was on EASY - so I skipped the tutorial initially (to see how intuitive things were). My second game was using the Tutorial. I then played several more matches on EASY.

What I Like:
- Really like the music, very simple and subdued - very nice for background music!
- The 'Jump' animation is smooth, and feels appropriate.
- Selection of languages is staggering
- The 3D feel - even though it is a 2D top down - the multiple layers are a nice touch!
- Story lines have been entertaining. The aliens stealing our men is a fun twist
- Look and feel of the ships are quite nice.
- Love the ability to have my own little fleet


Problems:
- Game crashed after jumping through a dozen systems (1920x1200 windowed, vsync off). Was jumping into a sector that had an enemy ship.
- Options button doesn't seem to do anything yet.
- In the Tutorial : The TAP HERE for buying the turret did not seem to work. Had to ESC out and then buy it. Everything else seemed to work when I clicked on the TAP HERE alerts.
- On one of my restarts I could not equip my ship, even though it looked like I had enough funds.


Requests:
- When you zoom in/out on the map, would it be possible to auto center on your selected ship? Or zoom where the mouse pointer is?
- I couldn't figure out how to scroll around the star map. ((Figured it out during the Tutorial! Hold left-click and drag around))
- Instead of just On/Off for sound effects and music, could there be a volume slider? Or at least 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and Off?
- Allow the side cannons to have a little more of a forward arc. If I go head on at a ship, the Port/Starboard forward guns should be firing.
- Allow the turn to be sped up / slowed down. Even if just double and half speeds.
- I haven't made it very far into the game yet, but will there be upgrades for maneuverability and speed?

I'll post more after I play a few more rounds!


The game screams for a Babylon 5 style mod
