Game controls

from Stardock Forums
Now when most people have a three-button mouse with scroll, couldnt it be good to make use of it?

I dont know to what, but scroll could be as tab and 3rd button as enter. Or anything else :-)

/me wanted zoom (would require different zoom levels, of course)

Ahh that's a good idea. very good.

and, if stardock not chooses to implement it for some reason, it'd be great if one could choose "scale" for the main view. I might want to see more than one quadrant at a time. Like 3-5 selections between the view today (a little bit smaller than one quadrant) and 4. (Or more)

That'd be great IMO, I like the overview...but in a big galaxy the minimap is kinda small...

Oh, that brings up a question...how does GalCiv handle different screen resolusions? Does it always use the same, non selectable - or does it use the desktop resolusion? Umm if I change the desktop resolusion does it affect the game at all? Will I get better graphic or do it fit in more content on the main view? Or no difference at all?

I think it's stuck in 1024x768 . . . for now.

It's 1024x768. But we would like in future versions (post 1.0) to support others where the map area would grow based on what resolution you chose.

Ahh ok. Good goal. And please consider beeing able to select scale and/or zoom with the mouse. It'd be a nice feature. Very usable. Now or future.
