To A: Yes with all the laser-fire and lightning effects, it could be really laggy if you play mp with a huge fleet, just each drop your resolution and only play with small fleet cap. (and who needs 7 ISD`s, lol) To B: You can with holding Alt-key and doubleklick with your mouse on any spacecraft zoom very close on it. To C: Dont know aboub that bug, but I disable resarch against the cpu, becaus its getting boring and eats much time. Against other human players it could be an option. The only "bug" I have in the research screen is, that the icons of different technologys have all the same look. And not much have a description, when you play Alliance, there are some Informations about the crafts in your building screen. p.s. I LOVE the look of those Calamari B Destr. , good moddeling!!!
