What video resolution do you play SE4 at?
 

I stick to 800 x 600 because with anything higher, it's just too bloody difficult to see the ships. There are so many beautiful shipsets out there, and it's a shame to not be able to see the ships move across the screen.

1152x864
If I felt like switching rez just for SE4, it would be to 1024x768. Blow up the graphics a bit, but keep all the buttons & stuff on one screen, and keep the lists at a reasonable number of entries per page.

My moniter can not display higher than 1280x1024, so that is what I use. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

You guys who use resolutions higher than 800 x 600, don't you find it difficult to see your ships?

I use 1024 x 768, except when there is a huge tactical battle, and then I use 1600 x 1200 just for the battle, so as much as possible can fit on the screen at once.

Not at all.
My monitor isn't terribly large, but I only need to see the minis for location info.
I go about admiring the portraits, and superimpose them onto the minis and fleets mentally.

1024x768... in fact, SE4 is the reason I have my desktop set at that resolution - when I bought my laptop, it was set at something like 1400x1280, but SE4 always showed up so tiny since it didn't scale to that resolution, so I changed to 1024x768! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Funny, though... with some of my previous computers, I couldn't tolerate anything higher than 800x600 and often used plain old 640x480, just because the text at the "higher" resolutions like 1024x768 was too tiny... My laptop certainly doesn't have a larger screen than those old monitors, so I wonder if it just has a smaller dot pitch... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

I use the same as SJ, 1152x864.

I don't usually have any problems with seeing the ships. Using 800x600 eliminates a useful info box that is displayed during tactical combat...

You can change the font size in windows in the desktop display properties.
