Space battles seems kinda plain

from GalCiv2 Forums
I enjoy this game alot. Sure theres issues here and there but for the most part its alot of fun.
One stark critisism I have though is the space battles. They seem kinda plain and why do the ships bounce off one another when space is this huge open area? They shouldnt even be that close together. I expected the cinematic view to be.......well cinematic and its anything but. The ground battles I never expected to much from to begin with, but you spend alot of time building ships. For all that effort I sure wish they would spice up the space battles some.

try viewing the battles at half speed. ANd try all all the views restarting each on to find the views that you like.

it is a strategy game after all, so I like the self execution of the battles.

I like the way the battles look, especially on the ones I am unsure of with mixed fleets.

Try this sequence. Hit half speed. Run a cinematic battle view with the info off and guess what is happening. Then hit a top 1 or top 2 battle view and restart the action. Then try a free camera mode, using the wheel scroll to zoom in and out and click grab to rotate the camera just like in the ship builder. I especially like this view when invading a ringed planet with a defending orbital fleet as you see the fleets lined up in battle with the rings above and the planet to the side.

I agree, the bumpercars aspect of it is really bizzare.
