Hey all,
Whoever it was in the Cryptic that thought the scanning minigame was a good idea, I salute you. Absolute genius.
However, I was doing one of the Rolor Nebula exploration missions - the 'Gather Data' variety, in fact, and just as I began the minigame, my Science Officer decided to pop up, saying that the mission was done, new information gathered, etc etc. This disrupted the minigame (I did manage to get the extra data from it though, with a bit of quick finger-work).
Personally, I think that new bridge officer messages and interaction messages should come up as a small icon or something similar, rather than intruding directly into the game (and stopping your ship - I've lost count of the number of times I've seen friends in Escort vessels torn to bits because an ingame popup has taken their ship to impulse 0 right next to a ship going warpcore critical.
Other than that, keep up the good work, guys! Absolutely love the game!
