A couple questions...

Firstly, great job on this new version, it's wonderful to play.  I have a couple questions though, firstly, when you are making a station, what is the green ring around it? Secondly, when I set up the game, it says that the fog and shroud are on, but when I play the game none of them seem to be working? The mini map and gameplay area is all clear.  I only ask about it, as it makes it a tad difficult when I set up my sensor arrays to see what they uncover and where the next one(s) need to go.

Well I would like to know what the rings are all about myself. Also I'm trying to capture tech but I can't seem to figure out how that all works. I know you have to click on a button on the enemy's construction ship. But how do I get to do that.? I've tried boarding the bloody thing and it ends up as my ship but no real answer on if I capped it or not. So those are my 2 cents to ask.

I tried with Borg and just get the Ship into my base, pressed the Button and then I could build the Mixtech thingy with the assimilated Constructionship.

Kool I'll try that out tonight. Now what's with the circles?

the green rings are the sensor range of the building, they also appear wenn your move the mouse pointer over the subsystem icon, same with weapon range.

about the mixed-tech, could it be that you damaged the weapon systems of the target? i noticed that the button ist not working as long as the weapons are offline

I've never captured anything, so I haven't the faintest idea.  Thanks for the response on the other part though.  Does anyone else see an absence for the fog of war? Or whatever it's called.

make sure you set the grahpics settings to max in order to have the fog of war shown correctly. thats a little issue we have overlooked
