Limitations of the engine

[Onikenshin]

I was wondering if it is impossible to change the minimap control scheme bar thing (where most of the buttons, unit selection are) and the ability to zoom out of the map more while still having those controls.

Are map sizes also a limitation?

Is having ships literally screen other ships also a limitation?

Buttons can all be moved. Map sizes are limited to 20x20 for ground (significantly larger than we use) and something for space, but again, much, much larger than we use.

Depends what you mean by literally screen. If you put ships in front of other ships, they'll take hits instead of the thing they're blocking.

I don't see any issues with the screening thing, if anything, it's a helpful tactic, I've saved many a dying Star Destroyer (and various other ships) this way, by shoving a Praetor or an Allegiance into the line of fire.
