A question I've seen thrown around a bunch is how the minimap system will work, but I have a slightly different question/suggestion. How will we be able to tell what is happening on all of our planets, when the game comes to a large scale fight. Making separate windows for each planet, while effective, can only be done so much until all you have on your screen is little windows full of planets. I suggest that it be possible to have the similar system of information as the game Sins of a Solar Empire. For those of you who do not know what it is like, it is a small image of each planet, with dots representing each unit/enemy unit. Because of this, it is easy to tell how many units you have in comparison to the enemies, at a simple glance. It looks like this. (The small bits on the upper left of the screen.) It is also expandable/shrinkable to have more/less information about each individual planet. Thoughts?
