Fog of War and already colonized planets...

This not a feature (yet). You never can see things out of your site, even colonies you know were there.

I, for one, like this feature. Any "in game" feature that reflects realism without "hurting" game play is a big plus.(opinion)

Its not realism. We don't forget where Germany is just because we can't see it at the moment.

A sensor ghost would be ideal. You get exactly the same info as the last time you saw it, with the colony being greyed out or something to indicate it isn't current data.

Ha-ha-ha; You must not have kids in the U.S. school system! Some of them can’t even name 25 of the 50 States; and that’s assuming they KNOW there’s 50 States!

Those are the guys that get to pilot the 20-turn out of date fighters.

So you can "see" Germany from where you are at? just kidding, & I see your point, I, for one, just don't mind the way it is.

Stars! does this, it even tells you how old the data is.

Just started a game up under 1.25 with the 1.03 BM. I played for a dozen turns before realizing I'd forgotten to get out pen and paper to record the locations of enemy colonies I encountered. (I realized this as one of my colony ships tried to colonize an enemy homeworld.)

Has anyone heard if Malfador might address this issue sometime down the road?

I totally agree. Is "fixing" the problem of the "disappearing enemy colonies" planned for an update ?
I find it totally bothersome ...and stupid, what a weird idea to have the game "lose" all sightings when you leave !
