Left click in planet view snaps to whatever square/structure the cursor ends up on, and deselects your target if you left click to rotate camera in map view. But it's always done that, right click until now has been the way to smoothly rotate the camera without interfering with gameplay but since it's no longer the case it makes it hard to do the normal things people are used to.
But I'll say it again, overall the update is nice, it's mostly just the right click auto execute issues.

in combat the new control isent working fine (for me).
left click perform a Alphastrike
right click can make actions i didn´t wont.
i am not able to control my ship smooth.
in big battles i often switch to F2 to look around, i click on diffrent ships (friendly and foes) to check our status.
One wrong click, perform a Jump
One Wrong Click, perform a Alphastrike....... so i killed a firend.
3 times i smash in a planet yesterday.
I know that a little time is needed to learn it but i think with a game like Darkspace this kind of Control is not good as possible.
my suggestion is, do it not sensetiv, let Buttons in right upper Corner appear with the posible actions on this target.
or do it center bottom like in many mmorpg´s
So beginner can see what is possible to do.
I play an notebook with a Touchpad, its not possible to control mouse to 100%
thanx
Z
edit: or just let it be an option

Ran into an issue where I couldn't click on any planets to target them.
Weird. I could target ships and all, but the planet markers went missing.

Unless it's just some happy glitch on my end, it seems using right click to rotate the camera no longer makes you auto execute a jump/orbit/follow command in map or planet view windows. I'm betting it's more something that was done with today's server restart, nice job.

Tal:
- HOTFIX: Right click actions (follow, attack, order, etc) can now only happen on the tactical screen. Right click orders can only be done n the navigation/planet screens.
- HOTFIX: Fixed WH device not working.
- HOTFIX: Fixed issue with resources not getting removed from the planet on ship spawn.
- HOTFIX: Right clicking actions will happen on right button release instead of on press. Additionally, the button must be released within 0.5 seconds of being pressed.
- Released: July 6th, 2010
There's a development log you can check for these sort of things.

Yes Bard, I know about the dev log. Can't I have a little fun pointing things out in a not so obvious way?

Ok... spent some time in game - a little in combat... while I didn't have any of the misclick problems that have been talked about - I certainly see the extreme potential for it.
How difficult would it be to put a toggle switch into the interface to disable the auto-actions? The same way there is a checkbox to invert the buttons... one to disable the autoactions entirely.
I for one still use the keyboard commands - I've been doing it for almost seven years now... it's second nature to me and comes as natural as pointjumping (which, by the by, I still miss the oldschool pointjumps that you had to adjust for your speed, by the way  THAT took skill!)
This way everyone is happy, yes? Well... about this little issue at least...
Insofar as the resource issue... I didn't run into this problem because I gatespawned, and was lucky enough not to be camped... but the potential for abuse, exploitation, and griefing is extreme... I don't have a complete opinion on it at this time (which I know you must all be DYING to hear!) but I will be giving it a good deal of thought.
End result... there are noticably fewer people about right now... and that does concern me. This game was insanely fun for the last month or so... I'd hate to see that all killed because of what may or may not turn out to be poor design decision. As I said, judgement reserved, but my hopes are not optimistic.

No freaking wonder I can't point jump like I used to! I'm still accounting for speed! Grrrrr.

Hahahahha... no it's idiot proof pointjumping now sadly... which means how you used to make that perfect pointjump by manually targeting beyond the enemy like 800gu to land 100gu infront of him, and someone just regular old jumped you ya had a couple of seconds to do some damage & get some maneuvering in... not anymore  Now it's point, click, spacebar.

AFter some testing, I'd like to propose the "release" timer of 0.5 seconds be reduced a little more. Quick camera movement now yields deselection or ordering, and I think it's possible to avoid it entirely. I don't yet have an idea for numbers, though! But if Faustus'd be so kind as to consider it, that'd be grand.
