So you can "see" Germany from where you are at? just kidding, & I see your point, I, for one, just don't mind the way it is.

A sensor ghost would be ideal. You get exactly the same info as the last time you saw it, with the colony being greyed out or something to indicate it isn't current data.
I've already emailed Aaron about this. I'd like it to work with ships as well, though, and work for the AI too. It would massively improve the AI, and would remove some odditities in the pathfinding calculations, etc. Fog of war really crippled the AI this time around, because unlike us the computer has *no memory* about what was in a hex the last time he explored it, even if he explored it that very same turn, so he will make decisions based on incomplete data; data that he would have had he been a human player.

When I was travelling a while back, I didn't even know I was in Germany at first.

Just puzzling over the map until *Vooom* we get passed by somebody doing 200.

Ya the Autobahn was prime! Me and a friend would rent a car once every month, go to Frankfurt, and go nuts. Then I had this friend in the German Army who wanted me to go with him to help tear down a section of the wall. He said it would make great souvenirs and what did I say? Nay I’ll pass I can’t see why anyone would want a piece of that thing! Amazing how short sighted we can be when youth is our main fuel. And then there was Annette Bhomar, man what a painful memory. How does the song go? “Some things that time just can’t erase”.
