Cute BB system, but besides the point, I have recenlty picked up this title at a local walmart, the home of all things good in hopes of finding a half decent replacement for Master of Orion 3 which by now is out of date with the rest of the world. This game gave me a pleasant surpise, but one thing has annoyned me, and I was wondering if it was simply an ingame option that I am missing, I relize that the engine is intellegent enough to scale graphics according to the card, but I find it hard to belive that I would be seeing the lowest quality graphics (seemingly in comparison with Screenshots I have seen) with an updated 64 mb onboard nvidia card, I don't think that this is a bug of any kind, I could just be missing something, now granted i thank the game for trying to save my speed, but in all seriousness, in comparison with games such as Star Trek Armada Fleetops, it doesnt' seem to be anywhere near the poly count, so I am left to wonder, why can't I see ship textures of any kind, infact just about the only thing I can see is the basic shape and some color striping (according to race color). This is fantastic and all, but I would much prefer atelast the ships be texutred, is there anyway to override the scaling feeature. I guess you could say I am just looking to atleast see what I have built, and it doesn't seem that the game would need that much in terms of graphics processing power, with all due respect, in comparison with other similar games the graphics atleast at the level I have seen in the screen shots should be handalable even by a 64mb card,
Any help
