Red is the default colour for areas that have never been unexplored.

unexplored

"Lets unexplore this sytem, that way we can forget where everything is"

So you're saying you have to explore the whole system to find every planet. I thought when that was mentioned in the review they meant searching each warp point for new systems, not hexes in the system. Interesting. I just finished "The Shiva Option" Where they have to explore each system to find all the wormholes. Now if only there was closed wormholes you only find once someone comes out.

Edit: and another thing I just noticed. It has a vehicle design screen and it says

Select Vehicle type,
Base
Drone
Fighter
Planet

...Planet!

It depends on the level of sight you choose in the game setup, but you can make so that you need to explore a system to find its planets. And no you don't have to explore each hex individually, your sensors have a range. But now I've probably said too much.

What I thought was interesting is if you paid close attention to that unit design screen you saw:

Tank
Artillery
Troop

As well as a few other things I can't read, I would seriously be interested to see Tanks Artillery AND INFANTRY formations represented in planetary battles Especially since with my prefered play style with armies I like to sit back and bash you with artillery and then race in with my armored vehicles and or cavalry units flank and exterminate the enemy!

What sort of evil overlord are you? I hope for infantry too, just so I can create a pointblank strategy called "swamp their guns with your bodies!"

Or better yet, Make sure the infantry is designed with bright colours! "Why are the infantry in illuminous jackets?" "So we know where to aim the Artillery!"

Just for you, I think we should allow orbital bombardments while our troops are present on the ground

Indeed! It isn't Friendly Fire if you can put it down in your Reports later as "Close Air Support!"
