Star Information Window
This "feature" effectively removes one of the 4X's making it unnecessary to explore the solar system looking for good planets. Now right from the start i can just go crazy clicking on stars, immediately knowing all the best ones to send colony ships to. This is almost like removing the FOW.
Other changes are looking good.
So, you can see stars in the FOW? You should report that bug.
It only works if the star in question has been explored of course.
Sorry Frog, but that is not how it is currently working in the 2 games i started, I hope its a bug/oversight but it is prob WAD at the moment

From what I recall, this is very similar to how it was in GC II. The Class info is different from GC II, though.
ive always been able to see stars in the fow
Yes (& this is OK) BUT you can now see (in the new star box) # of planets,asteroids and hab planets class of stars in still in FOW
I see this also --- you can see stars in FOW but also planets of the unexplored stars, which should not happen (IMO).
I agree with a0152570 to a point. The right list with the habitable worlds should only populate when you discover those worlds. Currently you can see them all and you not only know where good worlds close to you are, you also know where the AIs are. That said, I think that for the most part the info on the left should be seen regardless with one change: "Habitable Plants" should just be "Planets". It makes sense that given your supposed starting tech level that you would know what the star type was and even the number of planets in orbit. I guess you could argue that you'd be able to guess that there would be X number of habitable worlds based on where the planet is and its size, etc, but I do agree with a0152570 that knowing all details is a step too far.
I also see this. I can click on stars in the FOW and see all the information about that system before surveying the system. Also, it reveals if another race has colonized there as well (it shows the race logo).
I agree with this. Tell us the number of planets from farflung stars, but not anything else. In your explored area, give everything. Really adds just more value to fast scouting. Of course you will want to find resources and stuff, but still.
I was going to say the same thing
Yea, you definitely shouldn't be able to see the stats of a star without it being cleared by FOW.
Its a bug. We'll fix it
I remember some discussions during Alpha over whether or not this was a good idea or not, and the consensus seemed to be not, especially in Stardock. So, I am not surprised it is a bug that will be stomped on firmly.
The issue is now a stain in the carpet....
way cool , hope we see an update soon
that seems like a poor metaphor .... To me it implies that it's never coming out
You should try water softener it would boost the cleaner.
Never let narrative accuracy undercut a perfectly good visceral image. Both grapes and bugs need a good stomping on a regular basis. Who worries about the stains?
if gc3 is the carpet then i either need to live with fact that it is forever stained or rip it out and replace it
