Small things I'd like fixed/changed

[Ziver]

 

1. Have machine guns fire a consistent burst instead of a random amount. Also allow them to fire when they have fewer than 10 rounds.
2. Fix the Chief Engineer's text box so it resizes with his dialogue. There are some longer dialogue that just go outside his text box.
3. Change the Expenses in the monthly budget summary so it's displayed as a red negative instead of a green positive.

Thanks. Yup, points 2) and 3) will be addressed in the coming months.

For point 1), could you explain a bit more? The machinegun is set up to fire either a short 3-round burst for less TU, or a longer 10-round burst for more TU. I see two possibilities here:

• There's a bug and the MG really is firing a random number of shots.
• The MG is working correctly, but you didn't realise the MG was set up that way. That's not a bug but it is still a problem for us because it means the game mechanics apparently aren't clear.

Problem was that I didn't realize you could do either a 3 round burst or a 10 round burst.

Fair enough. I'll see if there's a way we can make that more obvious.
