As shown in the screenshot below, the fleet’s troop and capture strengths are written in the same space, making both unreadable. User interface size is set to “Standard” in the game settings. But it’s the same thing if I set it to “Small” (which is too small on my current monitor anyway).

In this situation, it's not a huge problem that I don't see the fleet's capture strength. But if I intended to use the fleet to do captures, then it would be pretty annoying...


Among the possibilities I see to fix this problem:

• Moving the characters (Generals, Admirals) below the empire’s flag on the top right of the selection panel header

• Moving the capture strength up one line (Fleet’s strength), and position it on the right

• Using the troops icon (2 row of dots) instead of the word “Strength” (only necessary if the capture strength is ketp where it currently is).

Thanks for the report. This is likely related to the fact that there are a lot of characters that are shifting the UI. This is an area we're aiming to improve on in the future.

Hopefully in a not too distant future.

If I'd want to also do captures with that fleet, or any other with troops on-board (I use captures a lot in my games), it would be very difficult, after the first capture, to know what's the fleet's current capture strength to evaluate if it's ready or not to do another capture.

We're currently prioritizing the development of the upcoming Shakturi expansion and as such the pace of public beta updates is going to slow down.
