He means I screwed up his* saving system by doing funny things with the code to make the pop-up green box have a frozen background. Therfore the reason that's the reason he got rid of the green box, not "usability". *He's using the built-in GM save system which saves a complete copy of the...

What I have a problem with is the change stats button being degraded from that green box to an out-of-place standard menu.

I'm probably biased, but I liked the green pop-up box. it was so much more natural and less built-in-Game-Maker-functions. Has anyone actually complained it was too hard to use? There's been no whining or "how do I do this" topics, and we would see a lot of them if usability was a serious ...

Clarification: The Teller bug only happens in non-surfaced mode (I tested it in Sandbox).

The beamers would be outside the deflector and probably would still get destroyed. As for the interceptors, it depends whether it's supposed to be a battleship or a creativity showcase. If you're really intending it to be a battleship, think 6 beamers rather than 10 and yes, remove half of the inter...

Lancet Beams would instantly remove all functionality from that ship. Also, twice as many interceptors as a Helios and it's "very reliant" on supporting ships? You can't post the code; the files are encrypted (th15's invention, not mine) because access to the code would allow people to exe...

Q: What's the best/most powerful/strongest ship in the game?
A: Battleships Forever is designed so every ship has a tactical purpose and no ship is always the "best" choice. Experiment with different combinations and strategies for each situation and don't dismiss ships as being weak.

If you want a variant with a different role, you'll need new weapons.

You won't win even if it is the best game ever posted there - the closed methodology and uncertain weighting (if any) of popular votes over time means it might as well be a random spinner... On the other hand, we get a stable milestone release. Apart from the three remaining missions, what features ...
