Maybe make larger ship sizes? It's kinda wierd flying a miniature Stay Destroyer (pardon the star wars geek.) and attacking a base that's only a little bigger than a turret. I think 2.0's Starbase was a lot bigger than most ships.

well, i too think size matters, and IF each battle really is played on such a huge scale, the ships would also be huge, big enough to be seen.

also how far is 'visual range' in space!!! that mean that theres at least 15 billion light years between each ship??
i realise things would be small when far away, but movement and the likelyhood of SOMEBODY on board having a telescope....

well, if you "think," when you measure the angle between the two lines from a point on your ship and the sides of a nearby ship, that would be about the angle it would appear to be in your field of vision. if there is a 100 mile wide object 1000 miles away, i would think that you would be able to see it. unless its flat.

lol, its a 2D world so you cant see anything, or hit anything, and people fall in 2 pieces cos or ur digestive system......
aaanyway you can see a guy standing a kilometer away, so thats about a 1:1000 ratio, but if you could do that on the game it would generally ruin gameplay. its better as it ur in a submarine or summat, u no wat i mean!

Sooooo......
It's a 2D world?
But when we 'Defend Earth' we're fighting above Earth...
When I eject, I want my escape pod to eject down, toward Earth, not into the path of that random missile!!
