On behalf of us dialup users, it is appreciated.

I thought someone asked this question in one of the 3 SE5 demo threads we have going but I didn't find it, so here goes:

How do you scrap facilities? The Colonies and Construction Queues screens have "Scrap Cargo" buttons but not Scrap Facilities. The Deconstruction Orders button has mothball/analyze/abandon planet/etc. ....but not Scrap Facilities. Am I just not looking carefully?

Facilities are under the scrap cargo.

Cool. Thanks. I used Bit Torrent and I am now exploring the game. It's decent looking. I'm having trouble finding where the facilities on my planet are listed other than scrap cargo area. I noticed current facilities/maximum facilities is listed as tonnage. 19000/20000. I have room for one more facilitie I think.

Update: OK. Right click on the planet image in the interface to get planet screen. Also, right click on planet in system then choose report. Perhaps double clicking on planet in system should do this too.

-----Let's have some thing neat to look at with detail that changes often in between turns instead of a black screen.

-----Let's have an opening cinematic to the loading of the game (also maybe at a game start?), even if it's very short.

-----How about some movement animation on the title screen?

GAH! Thanks.

System View: I'd like the ability to zoom out enough to see the whole system, while still retaining the 3D view.

Tactical View: Definitely needs expanded camera controls, at least on par with the current system view.
