Borg Units - Hard to make out on some maps

posted on December 19th, 2008, 3:22 am

I'm finding it quite difficult to see Borg Vessels on some maps. The new borg textures, whilst awesomely detailed, are fairly dark, and don't have much places for your custom team color. This makes it quite difficult to locate a specific unit, or even station on maps with darker backgrounds.

Is it only me with this issue?

Having exactly the same problem, I find myself constantly zooming in and out, while also leaning close to the screen and squinting to make out the Borg units.

Yeah, noticed it a bit, but I also like it so....

Hm, I'm fine with the textures. They look good. And dark is good, too. xD

Maybe you could adjust your gamma settings? Things should get better after that.

I've tried fiddling with gamma, when i make borg ships visible, everything else just looks unrealistically bright.

I can't see them well either.  Textures are great but please make them a bit brighter on the patch.  Thanks.

It's all about balance of the setting, I got them to show up without making things to bright. You just need to set it at the right level.
