I thought it about time I posted a new full size screenshot now most of the UI is done. I’ll be back on gameplay / battle / balance stuff now. Here is a clickable (to full size) image showing a fairly laid-back minimal nighttime battle, mostly to show the current GUI more than anything else.

I should probably also remind everyone that the Gratuitous Space Battles parasites expansion pack is now available from my site too…
Here is a video of them…
