I'd also like to have bigger ships on the sector view, maybe it's moddable (it was in Starfury where ships were too big to the contrary..).
It's almost certainly moddable, but you should not have to rely on a mod for something like this! Seeing the ships is a basic part of the gameplay.

If I have to download a mod just to play the game without straining my eyes, then maybe I should pay the modder instead of the game company.

If you scroll in to see the ships you can only see a small part of the system. You have to scroll out in order to decide where to move your ships. This makes no sense.

Well, as I said before, it's Aaron's choice as to what direction he wants his game to move. He has his reasons and that's his right and that's that. Everybody can make his own decision about whether that direction is right for them.

I had an issue where I couldn't switch back to the system view from the tactical view.

I had to resize the system map, click next colony and then look in a build queue, then i could switch back.

I would suggest that all player ships/units should have an outline around them, to make them easy to see.

An outline is not enough- the ships need to be bigger. Basically the same reasons Artaud stated 3 posts up.

Oh I don't know, I think a bright/glowing outline would suit me fine. Although maybe a way to adjust the scale of individual elements (ie ships/bases/etc), would be a good idea.

There appears to be a problem with fleets. I had about a dozen ships in a fleet all with 11 movement. Lots of supplies each and also included a supply transport. When they started moving in a fleet, they made it about 7 of their 11 movement before running out of supplies completely!!!

Did another check and yep, something is buggered. Each of my ships consume 40 supplies per hex. When in a fleet of 10, they should consume 400 supplies per hex. Not so. I moved them and found that they consumed 4000 supplies per hex!
