Default 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.

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.
