That's actually fine by me too! It's basically the 3D view of my 2D view. The difference being that when you hop to a new system you'll have to rotate it to see what's going on there. And then rotate it back when you click back on your homeworld. Your call! Simple 2D view works for all systems.

Mainly what I want is the option to lock the view once I get it right. Now obviously that's not much use for a 3D view like your's, what with the constant twirling and all, but a locked down 2D view will serve me until SEVI.

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?

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.

Eh? I almost never rotate the view... there is no need. (After all, all of the hexes in my view are bigger than the hexes in your original top-down view)

Once in a while I might, if I feel like getting a closeup of some particularily devious fleet deployment of SE5a's
