Distant Worlds: Universe gets new update

I'd really like to see ship firing arcs and some more depth to the ship designer. I don't find the clutter of ships too annoying but I would like the fleet display on the right to be changed from icons to show the number of each type of ship in the fleet.

Did you know you can fade or disable civilian ships graphics entirely in the options?

No, I didn't....thanks for the heads up.

You can disable quite a bit, if you don't like how busy it gets...

Ian -- I thought that was just for the 'zoomed out' galaxy (or solar system view), not in close -- will have to check that out -- thanks

Which version was before Universe? If I wanted to start watching some let's play video's to play again, I'd want to make sure I'm watching the right ones.. Was it Shadows, or the Return one?

No, no. That makes you frugal and prudent in your spending..... really.

Considering that Obama will probably be out of office the next time the price is this low, now's a good time to pick it up! ;)
