Hey,

I think it would be really useful to have a bit more visual feedback for the scan mode during the battle phase. Just showing health levels and ship names is a bit sparse and doesn't really help us understand the battle in a really effective way.

Other features that scan mode could use:

-An effective range indicator for each fleet, to show when they engaged each other

-A small line to indicate what a ship is targeting (maybe also a little tooltip in the corner near the scan mode)

-More visible indicators for shields and weapon reloads (they're a bit difficult to parse right now)

Just a few small tweaks like that would make the scan mode much more useful to get a sense of the way a battle is progressing.

Thanks! Really enjoying the EA so far.

Hello!

We are currently working on some feedback improvements during the battle, so it should be available in a future version during early access :)

Also, less of a focus on the camera giving cool looking shots of the ships firing and more on giving us an idea on what's happening in the battle itself. There's no point in trying to make something look "cinematic" if it's going to get in the way of giving the player the information he/she needs to actually play the game.

Hey,

Could we please get the odds % on the combat icon ? the colored visual is sweet but it would be more specific with figures. 

i really liked Ridiculi idea for a tatical camera.

How much trouble would it be to add another camera option that just situated the view above the battle, call it the tactical camera or something, so players can have a better view of formations/weapon effectiveness without having to mess around with the manual camera. I, and I imagine others, would really appreciate something like this

What you're talking about is called "overview camera". You can already see its button in combat in the top panel. It's currently disabled but it's definitely in the works
