This is going to sound like a dumb thing to request, but could we have my ships current position displayed in other places as well as the top of the map screen. On the status screen maybe? There, I said it was dumb  The reason is that I have a cracked screen that just covers the X coordinate, which means that I cannot easily use the coordinates system. This is something that probably only affects me, but would be nice to have a workaround. It isn't a big deal, but just one of those things. Oh yeah, im playing on the iOS version if that helps Thanks! |

If you want to know where anything is (co-ordinate wise), just long-press on a particular location (be it your ship, a planet, or a red/green marker. It will always report back what it is, what the co-ordinate is, and if there are any rumors associated with that location. It isn't as convenient as looking at the top-left side of the screen, but at least you'll see your location. Note though another thing you can do is play in a different orientation. ST is one of the only TB games that support portrait play. Portrait play is awesome and I would give your left fingers for portrait play in the other TB games ...  |

Can ST be played landscape? |

I'd love it in CK and TA particularly! |

I thought I tried that... Maybe autorotate was disabled or something. It's the iOS version, maybe its my device that refuses to work |

All TB games can be played landscape - only ST can be played portrait. Auto-rotate enabled should make the game flip between orientations almost effortlessly (sometimes the display gets a bit mucked up, but going to another screen (like Status) and back resolves that. |

What with it being a menu and text intensive game, I find it much more playable in portrait anyway, so you're not missing much |
