All the resource values are stored in the game in floats, so if you really need to cheat yourself lots of resources you can use a memory scanner like TSearch or similar to modify them.

Much as I like the idea of the empire bar, it has some limitations. Firstly, you are unable to see how many ships you have selected. Secondly, if you a lot of ships in a

Allow things like clusters, etc. - Wormholes (or whatever they're called) -- They're confusing when they cross or when two run in close parralel and then cross. -- Should not really be running through other planets or stars grav wells, seeing as if ships aren't allowed to jump out from a grav we

Secondly if you ha
I run at 1920x1200 and I can read the messages fine. Perhaps your screen is too small to clearly make them out? I used to have a laptop with a 17" screen that ran natively at 1920x1200, but everything was so damned small it hurt your eyes. Here's a screenshot I took:
