Pausing: Freezing Text
« on: October 04, 2013, 04:30:15 AM »

I am a fairly slow reader. Albeit rarely, sometimes there's a lot of text popping up on screen and it vanishes before I am done reading it all. Pausing the game doesn't freeze the text though and it will still vanish.

Is it perhaps a good idea to have text freeze when pausing the game, so one can take their time reading it?

Alternatively, I would like to see a message log that you can go back and look through - several times I've opened or closed a menu just as a message pops up, and as soon as you change menus it clears on-screen text, so I never see what the message says, just that there was one for a split second.

Pretty sure Alex has said that the message system is just a placeholder.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.
