Avatar position is not correct on the solar system map because orbital tilt is not represented. System map needs to tilt the orbits.

Solar system map now applies the appropriate tilt when drawing planets and rings.

The solar system map can now be rotated with the mouse, using right button click and drag. This is indicated on a tool tip. A button at the top left restores the scene to the original top down view.

Lunar orbits are now drawn on the system map, when scene magnification is high enough.

Would it be horrible to ask for an option to flatten the map? Sure current location indicator wouldn't work correctly, but a flattened system is just just and easy to read.

Indigenous should have a different color than red/enemy.

There are political stance colors that are different for civilians vs military. They were only used in one place, when highlighting units in top down view. I expanded the use of those colors to more different places where political stance is indicated with color.

I also updated the wiki here http://hazeron.com/wiki/index.php/Diplomacy

I am not sure I like the idea of civilian units with a Friend diplomacy stance showing as yellow. Maybe something like a teal color would be better.
Yellow is more of a "unsure" or "weary" color in common diplomacy games. probably better for Neutral or less would be more appropriate.

Not sure about the civilian Neutral color either.

On the topic of diplomatic stances, I would love a new diplomatic stance level between Neutral and Enemy. Just to allow players to better communicate a distrusting/unsure stance, but without seeming hostile. Probably where I would toss the yellow color too.

A better connection to the wiki would be helpful.

Many windows now have a wiki button on the title bar. The button opens an appropriate topic in the wiki, using your browser.

Ooh nice! Guess we need to get some of the more basic wiki pages done.
I know some of the main windows don't have actual pages dedicated to them yet.
