| Summary | 0009231: Make unit icons bigger when they represent more of a ship | ||||
| Description | Right now you have auto-clustering for ship representative icons, and it would help tremendously with trying to parse a zoomed-out view if they scaled up in size as each icon represented more of the same thing. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

To be honest I can't stand the auto-clustering and always turn it off, but I can see how it would be helpful for computers that can't handle larger battles otherwise. I agree that the biggest reason I don't use it is having no visual indicator of how many ships are in a "group". |

|
I tend to agree that it harms my ability to see size of fleets a lot. Then again, it also could be bitter vet syndrome, and I miss the old slimdx method of rendering things. can I have that back pretty please? :( |

@Lancefighter Jeez, it's been so long. How did the slimdx days handle this? |
|
|
I think it just always showed every single icon. I also just felt it was more responsive and cleaner overall, compared to unity |
|

@Lancefighter Sadly, part of that change is due to the memory restrictions Unity comes with (thanks to an old version of Mono they seem to refuse to update) For the other stuff, well, I hope the devs have a chance to review, polish, bugfix, and clean up the UI before 6.0 comes out. It does need it. They did that for the SlimDX version, but due to the limitations Unity imposed (which mind you, SlimDX came with plenty of limitations as well, just a different set of them), many of the improvements couldn't be ported over straight as it was. And thanks to AVWW, they didn't really have time then to really finish the polish of the UI. |

Bitter vent syndrome in me says that the 2.0 days of aiwar were the best. I miss my beautiful dreadnaughts and wonderful dyson gatlings. |

Well, if you don't like the icon grouping, you can turn the grouping off. However, you're performance may suffer. |
