Just not like MOO3 where your ships look like gnats and you can't tell a Trilarian from a Psilon - sure, it might be cheezy to have ships appearing to be bumper-to-bumper in combat, but at least we can SEE the pretty models that took so long to develop!
(Yes, I know you can zoom in on MOO3 combat, but then you can see about three of your ships on the entire screen, the enemies are pounding you from what would be Toledo at that scale, and they're STILL about half an inch tall, surrounded by acres and acres of empty black space!
