    I mentioned this in another thread but putting it here to separate. Will there be widescreen support for the game eventually?

    Hi medway. What formats do you think when you say widescreen ? Things like 21:9 aspect ratio ?

    You should look to support the ultrawide format, 21:9 as you mentioned. I myself have considered a 3440x1440 aspect ration ultrawide, but the cost for one with support for Nvidia G-sync has kept me from pulling the trigger. My intent was to replace a two monitor setup with a single ultrawide for a better gaming experience.

    Common 21:9 aspect rations are:
    2560x1080
    3440x1440


    Adding support can also get you on the reddit ultrawidemasterrace Steam curator page:

    Sorry should have mentioned it's 21:9.

    What I'm seeing compared to 1920x1080 is that a lot of screens are trying to scale vertically when they should only be horizontally.

    I find it hard enough to read some of the stuff in game at 1920 in most games.

    All I really want is the main space map to be wider so there's a bit more room. The font size can stay the same. Readability also depends on the monitor size at that resolution. What size screen do you use?

    I was on a 21 at 1920x1080 and the text was ok to read although a touch small.

    I'm getting the game resetting to 21:9 when info screens pop up at certain points. I have it set to 1920x1080 but it's switching back to 2560x1080 sometimes. Went many turns without it happening though but now it's done it a couple of times in a row.
