hmm the thumbnail didn't work. try it again. If it doesn't, please just go to link directly. I really want to get back into this game! i have't play it in a while because of this bug.
Not sure how or why this is in the Sins forum. But you've got two problems:
1) You set the game to always be in tactical view. Just set the Tactical view zoom slider back towards the middle rather than all the way to one end.
2) You picked black or nearly black as your race's color; since the color is used for the interface and your icons, it makes them nearly invisible. Next time, try a lighter color.
