Question about fleet engagement range

Post by lucos »

Hi
Regarding the fleet engagement range, is there a way to see visually how far the range goes?
In DWU, we had the blue overlay that will show the distance but I can’t seems to find similar option here.
I’m not sure if it’s just that I can’t find the button or if the function is not here for the moment…

There is a 2nd distance indicator when selecting a single ship - likely the single-jump range.

There is no way to view fleet engagement range yet, but it could propably use the same 2nd indicator - given that you do not get that range information for fleets.

Yes, something like this would be good. Or the old overlay like in DWU…

And while we are at it: the manual/galactopedia should define "nearby" unreciprocally.
