Like I said, I am sure if Aaron uses such a map system, it would be far better than anything QS has done.

"1. The 3D star map."

What would this add to the game? How is it an improvement?

"2. Moveable windows.
3. Wheel mouse support."

OK, good things.

"4. Construction Planner System."

Err..what? EDIT: Ah. Eh, ambivalent.

5. Retreat from Battle option.

Would depend on how it is implimented.

1. Having this map would really be a cool feature. Your right, it would not be an improvement persay, but it would be a cool feature that give SE V a more [i]real]/i] feel to it. If you could see how your star systems play into the bigger picture in a real space, then perphas it could offer you a differant point of view. That system that looked weak and un-important in one view looks a lot more inviting as a strategic point in another. I like the map system, granted its needs a lot of improvement, but it still is one of the best additions to 4 X gaming in a good long time.

2. Glad you agree.
3. Glad you agree.

4. "ambivalent" You got me. I have no idea what that means.

5. Agreed. That feature is very important both before you agree to enter into battle, and after you commit to battle.
