I was playing my first game yesterday against the Advent and when they got their big fleets together and the Iconus, or the ship that projects the bubble shield around the fleet seems a bit overdone. Perhaps it was the amount of these buggers in the fleet grouping but needless to say perhaps the effect can be toned down a bit (perhaps something in the options?) because it is blinding. It was next to impossible to see any of the action inside the sphere. Aside from this Im enjoying the game. When's the expansion coming??
