I do not know if it is intended or not, but I don't recall seeing this in the previous versions of DW. I haven't played Shadows before though.

When I zoom out inside a system, it seems the ships or bases icons are not displayed properly. Instead of an opaque geometrical shape, it seems to retain the light "zoom in" version of the icon, and it's almost invisible when zoomed out.

Here is a screen : http://uppix.net/abRlZi.jpg

As you can see, my ships are hard to see. There is an exploration ship on the left down corner, I have mining bases on 2 planets at the center which are barely visible, and all my research stations in a circle around my planet are also transparent.

Is this normal? If yes... i find this quite disturbing. I don't remember it that way in Legends

It has taken me some time to get used to this new look, like dotted lines instead of solid lines and see-through icons instead of solid ones, but it works better on the low end computer systems like mine.

I can barely see my ships, that is quite disturbing :/.

The visibility for these symbols is improved in the next update.
