Resources and Enemy Starbases

from Stardock Forums
So, and unclaimed resources appear on the mini-map...and any you control you can obviously see.

But, when the AI takes a resource, unless their starbase is in your sensor range, you can't see it or the resource at all! If you have an auto-pilot moving scout or a survey ship on auto-survey discover a resource like this, you may well never notice, let alone keeping track.

Therefore, I suggest some change to the minimap to show enemy controlled resources whether they are within your sensor range or not.

This is a well-known problem.

Solution #1: Play in windowed mode, and keep a notepad file where you track the sector location of each resource.

Solution #2: Fill the map with enough sensor drones to make sure the fog of war is completely eliminated. Eyes of the Universe helps with this.
