Zoom out ship icons

[NorthernAlliance]

Loving the game but my only real grip is that even if I zoom out the smallest amount half the ships change from having the physical ship on screen to there icon and this kind of kills immersion. Please can you either change it so you need to be zoomed really far out before the ships change to icons or provide the option to just turn it off.

Yes please, I dislike the fact that the icons appear after a small zoom out

Noticed this too, need a setting for this tbh.

there is the cinematic / camera view, which hides all icons and ui elements,
the button for which can be found in the right corner of the top UI bar.

crl+shift+s
search for main_view.render_unit_icons set t to false, boom no icons no matter how much you zoom

[Valkyrie]

though it does affect planets and the like which may not be what you want. play around in those settings though im sure you will find a better one

[Valkyrie]

if you set game_client_user_interface.always_render_phase_lanes to false as well the game is basically in cinimatic mode with the ui elements still visible.

hold alt if you want to see icons while those settings are turned off

Well unfortunately this kills the zoom out rendering of planet icons and fleets, etc...... omfg, they need to just FIX THIS!

[ThousandCutz]

you can also hold shift while you zoom and it kills the zoom sensitivity while using the mouse scroll

Ty I'll try this

Those icons make the game b utt hurt ugly

[Dizzy Ioeuy]

the shift and alt tricks don't really bring back the planets in long range view. Dang this game is like an ugly spreadsheet with icons over all my ships. I can't believe the devs thought this was OK. Not adjusting the range even. Come on LOD adjustment is basic for games like this.

they could have at LEAST separated the UNIT icons from the planet and terrain ones!

There might be a distance declared somewhere in yhe files at which the icons start to render, maybe that van be increased for a more enjoyable expierience?
Haven't really looked into ot yet.

I'm digging. No luck yet

Consider stopping by the offical discord then, maybe some of the modders can offer advice or perhaps have even encoutered something like it in the past.
If not then it can be put forth as suggestion for the Devs with more visibility.
