Hi guys

First post in here, I got the game a few days ago (incl. all of the expansions). My life is practically ruined, I can't sleep anymore thanks to this wonder of a product.

In my most recent pre-warp start with the Quameno my ships won't draw their vectors, even if enabled above the minimap. Same for the private sector ships. In the beginning I played the humans and there it worked... Is this race related? Or am I missing a tech?

Any help is appreciated.

You will not see them zoomed out, like the full zoom with the END key, you need to be at DELETE key zoom distance or closer to see the vectors.

Hey Darkspire, thanks for your answer. I'm all the way zoomed in and they are not there. BUT I did some searching in the forum - as I should have done earlier - and found out that evidently these vectors are only drawn for ships with warp engines. Since I'm early pre-warp and have no warp tech yet this seems to be it!

Thanks
