Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I couldn't find it in the Knowledgebase, and I couldn't find a dedicated thread in the forum. I did see mention of this in another thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread.
How can we view the AOE of a starbase before building it? I don't think I'm the only one who finds it difficult to imagine an 8-parsec radius on a rectilinear grid. Is there a way?
If not, may I suggest the following: If you have the grid visible, the radius should be colored in grid format. I can't tell if a coordinate location on the edge of the circle actually falls in the radius or not. Also, there should be a way to bring up a starbase AOE on the cursor without having a constructor present. That way, we can plan on where we'll be plopping starbases before having to build a constructor and haul it out to the middle of nowhere.
