It does make it harder to navigate as you mentioned, which is both good and bad. I suppose I'll have to get used to it (and hey, it means the nebular extent calculator is useful now).

Also, I experienced a crash to desktop when I arrived at a star, just after hearing the 'star is occupied' sound. Might be a problem with one of the new races?

Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far...
Thanks.

Yeah, making the Nebula Extent Calculator have some use was one of the reasons I made the nebulae harder to see. Also, in space travel, without sensors, things like nebula extent calculators, navigating nebulae would be difficult.

As for the crash, it sometimes happens when you arrive at a star, occupied or not occupied. I'm tracking it down.
