Fleet transfer wrong message

in #utopian-io6 years ago (edited)

Expected behavior

In Steemnova you are now able to transfer fleet to other players if their current fighting research and bonus of officers is not higher than your own.
When someone does a fleet transfer to you, you expect an friendly-looking-colored message in Overview which shows you that a friendly fleet is coming to you with the intention of "transfer"

Actual behavior

The friendly-looking color is given with green, but the message tells you that a hostile fleet is on the way to your planet. When testing the feature I even thought my mate is attacking me, because of the message. It was quite confusing and I checked several times, if he really does not attack me. This message can mislead to wrong solutions, because of its potentional to confuse.

How to reproduce

Send some fleet with mission "transfer" to a player with lower battle research and check out the given message in Overview.

OS and browser unneccessary, because it is a browser game

It is worth to say that these missleading messages occur in other languages also. The green color indicates a friendly or at least neutral type of event. However "hostile" word is contradictory to that and should be changed to eg. "A friendly Fleet".
I would change also the plural "Fleets" to just "Fleet" because it is just single formation of grouped war-ships.

Very nice! Thought about fleet and fleets too! Nice, that you will fix this! :)

Great work successful for you brother
