This came to my mind,after i constracted EYES OF THE UNIVERSE at one of the huge maps. It was useless in my opinion to see all fleets in galaxy,since some of them couldn"t even reach my side of a map, but sensor range was of a great use, you can see danger coming much earlier. What if in later version new ship component(cloak) could be avalible?
Cloaked: can't be detected if they are next to uninhibited(class0) planet,or at open space but are not moving.
Detection: Oponent fleet next to cloaked fleet, scout ships with survey modules(for now only use for them is anomalies), or in sensor range of a planet(EYES OF THE UNIVERSE needed).
What it can add to the game is obvious),new tactics can be involved etc.
Somebody wanted to play as Klingon?
