    Just some minor suggestions which I'm SURE somebody is already working on, but just to be sure, I'll make the suggestions here. These are just small things I noticed from going back to SupCom for a bit:

    1) Highlighting selected unit icons. This one is obvious. Right now there's little way to know what units you have selected when you're zoomed out and dragging boxes everywhere.

    2) "Sticky" unit icons. When zoomed out, and mousing over units, the icons should size up and highlight in a way indicative of a mouse hover. For groups, there should probably be no "sticky" behavior; however, once you have a unique unit stuck in a group, such as an engineer surrounded by combat units, the icon should stay active under the mouse cursor at a greater distance around it, with the game intelligently figuring you must be trying to click on that unit.

    A box around selected units is already in the game.

    There's been suggestions about grouping units and whatnot.

    Uber is overhauling the UI, so we'll see what they come up with.

    Blue unit icons is an option ib the settings I'm sure. Confirmed as being in this build. Just a PITA of your colour is cyan.
