OT: Dropping out of warp

I ran out and bought Armada II back in 2000 and was utterly dissapointed by it. The graphics sucked compared to the previous game. I later learned that the graphics were reduced in quality so that older machines could run them. BOOOOOO!

Never played it again after the first day.

Who cares about graphics? the possibility to play with the borg or species 8472 is great!

Well, those graphics aren't bad. Those Borg cubes are a bit hard to see when there's too much light reflecting off the monitor. What are those bluish planet-looking things? Are they ships, too?

Well as you said, bluish planets!

actually the zoom is a bit far maybe thats why the borg cubes are hard to see. light reflecting off the monitor??? where?

The glowing blue things are minable moons or some such planetary body.

They are planets as the borg you can assimilate them (or colonize, oh, yes you can colonize planets, with the fed. or other races you can only colonize them i think), and mine them for metals, there are also dilitium moons (not on the screenshot) but are smaller i think they are also blue, there's also latinum (i dont know how to write it) nebulas.
