1024x768 of course.
I'm short sighted, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I can't read a streetsign 3m away without my glasses, but when I take them off there's no too small letter for me. And I never use them in from of the computer.
If you can't see the ships, it's a clear sign you need reading glasses. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Those programs are written poorly then if it causes them to break.

Hi Antonin,1024x768 is the way for me always http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ,tho 800x600 is great,i need to see all icons above & larger map,also i increase my moniter brightness to 65-70 to see a lot more on screen because,Some Default Ai ships, are colored in the dark range against space background.

I use 800x600 because my wife hates small icons. But now that she has her own comp and only uses mine for email, I am considering using another resolution.

Icon size can be changed, "large icons" are 48x48, compared with old small icons 32x32. But you can manually enter a number if you want bigger ones.

I use 800x600 and still can not find Piundon and Sallega ships hiding in my system http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

800x600. I have a 13" monitor, and I can barely make out anything on the larger resolutions. It works well for me. I have to make a consious effort to change it when I play Starfury.

I use 1280x1024, but SEIV then has a black band around the edges where it can't scale up that big. The planet letters are kind of small. A 21" monitor does help though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

1024x768

My reason is 'cause I can see the whole "toolbar" without scrolling.

I hate scrolling!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

(that's probably my biggest wishlist item behind "scriptable, branchable AI logic")
