Excellent look to the screen. Is there any customization to what planet info can be displayed? Perhaps based on scanner levels?

This means you may want to keep some freighters ready here and there for such logistical moves. It also means that, when attacking an enemy starbase you can have ships tasked with keeping the enemy at bay and you get a nice prize out of it.

Thanks, that covers much of it.

Fog of War in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have not noticed any information on how Fog of War was going to be handled in GC2. I have a few thoughts on the topic.
