    Hi All,

    Does anyone else feel the (very) big blueish selection rectangle around the selected units looks cheap? If you have a selection of a lot of units all you see is a intersecting mess of blue lines... I looked around the forums if there was a topic about this but I couldnt find one.

    Look at top right of the screen, see how it says prealpha? That means most of what you see isn't finished yet, I'd wait till at least beta before bothering to comment on anything visual, it's probably just placeholder art at the moment.

    Since it is alpha, lets be constructive with the criticism so Uber can make things better!

    Personally, I think the rectangles are ok, but they could be better. Ideally, I think the way selections were visualized in the kickstarter would be best in terms of aesthetics and utility:

    That does look nice. Since the kickstarter was all done in blender or maya or the like rather than in-engine, it will take some time to get the art and effects in line with what we saw in the initial promotional material. (Assuming they keep the same style for everything, which I doubt they will, but they'll keep everything comparable in quality.)

    Welcome to the Alpha, where nothing is finished and everything can(and will) change.

    Of course it looks bad. Alpha isn't really that much about looks but about function. I would wait with "X looks bad" for like late beta stage.

    A circle would probably work better. In fact, it'd probably work better for a lot of things.
