You can change the size of the UI in the graphic/video settings.

And I almost bought a game from the Steam sale...well, too bad Steam I have more important things to do!

If the system is similar to GC2 there is no point in designing your own ground vehicles. Nor is there any real point if all you change is the visuals of ground vehicles. A ground unit designer has to have a meaningful impact in the combat.

The biggest advantage to how its currently done is that it is obvious what you have and haven't explored. The more detail you put into the fog of war the less differentiation between it and the map and the more potentially confusing it could be for players. So any changes would need to take that into account.

The Age of possible conflict, though likely some diplomacy and cultural expansion, with maybe a little more exploration; or getting stomped by alien hordes.

I don't see any advantages of mecha as an option over fighters or why they should be given a bonus to ground combat and fighters seemingly not. In fact, having fighters given their mobility and flexibility would probably be a more important. I'm not even sure if they would offer much in terms of mobility over fighters either. We've seen a number of shows/films/games where fighters in space do things like rotate around their axis without changing their velocity. S

^ Oh, thanks for that. I started a new game and they were there. While I was there I knocked up a quick colony, which I reused to make a transport later on. Colony first. HHere is the transport. Used the core of the colony, just expanded the engines, got rid of the landing skids up the front and added the transport modules. Edit: removed broken image links

My first scout. I called it the Atlas. My fighter craft, the Phantom. Basically reused the scout and expanded upon that. My heavy fighter/Corvette. Went with a bit of a different design, which I called the Arrow. Unfortunately I got use to relying on autosave and I did all this in one turn before I quite out. Since I didn't end the turn all I have left of these three are a couple of screenshots. </

Got my star name approved! Looking forward to that future game where I first notice it turning up in a game.

Good question, still don't really know. I'll probably go with "Liumani" unless I think of something...good.

^ Imperium Galactica did just that, you started out with a small low level fleet and only a few planets on the map and it would expand as you hit story points that see you promoted. What it did which I don't think Supreme Commander did (IG did it for the whole game, whereas SC only did it per mission) was that the AI were active and that if you took too long to go through the early stages you'd get to the full galaxy and the big bad would be far too dominate and have

I want tactical combat to be in the game, but if it isn't I'd still get the game since I enjoyed 2 a lot without it. It would be nice if they came up with a system where it encouraged diversity in your fleet instead of focusing so much on biggest hull is bestest. So that hull isn't just size that is also somewhat a role, though to be fair part of this is coupled with the fact I like Star Wars and Sins and would like to have a space carrier in the game. Anyway,
