Resources disappearing

from Stardock Forums
I really like how resources show up on the galatic map. They are a strategic objective, like systems, and it makes it nice and easy to plan your defense/offense around them.

But, whenever a SB is built to harvest them, they disappear off the galatic map. This forces me to remember where all the AI (and sometimes even my own) controlled resources are. Which just strikes me as bookeeping... after all, I detected them already, right? And they aren't going anywhere.

Does anyone else feel the same way?

If you turn on the ships minimap button, you can see your own starbases (and enemy SB's that you can see) as +'s.

Yeah, I always have this feature on. The real gripe tho is that immediately after a SB is built on the resource, it disappears off the map. This forces you to manually keep track of where every resource is. Why should you have to do this, if the game doesnt allowed for resources to be moved?

Technically a Terror Star could be built on top of them and then moved away, but that's a rare case, and i agree, they shouldn't disapear off the map. If you've detected them once, they should stay there, even if a starbase gets built on top, until such a point as you come back and find that it's been moved.
