    Hi, is it only me that struggles to understand what these settings fully mean. i would love to see a detailed description of these to get rid of confussion.

    It is hard to understand complex english word when you have english as your second language.

    I totally agree that UI options need better description or some demo images.

    In case of PA it's mean that visibility of some UI element depends on selected units selected, camera position, etc.

    It's green sphere appear on top of planet.
    Modal: when you have orbital units selected.
    Range dependent: when camera is on certain distance from planet.

    This option only work if orbital shell enabled.
    Range dependent: when camera on certain distance from planet all terrestrial units icons will be hidden.

    They need tooltips. I expect them just before release.

    Some settings require more than just simple tooltips because for example "show terrestrial" depends on "orbital shell" and only reason I know that because I reported it's as bug. :D
