not that the current pictures for things like research labs, and farms aren't good they are its just that i think they should be drawn instead of using a 3D render (i'm guessing from 3D studio max) get one of your artist the draw the building tiles i mean they don't have to move and i've seen some very impressive game art before, having something like that would improve them greatly
P.S.
the colony tile is always the same no matter how large the planets population is, the tile picture should start of being a colony ship (the one from the first colony video) partialy dissasembled with a few buildings around it, then move on better citys with colonys with large populations the city should be grand
