The finger is just too inaccurate on such a small screen. Also, instead of buttons on right, I'd place status and buttons on the left and align the tactical to the right. Messages can overlay inside the tactical like on the Paradise client (maybe COW has this, too). > Instead of a “strategic” screen, I’m thinking of directional signposts at > the edge, indicating direction and distance to players and “interesting” > planets. > You could allow one to toggle (zoom in/out) of the tactical to the galactic with a touch button. Or the toggle could halve the size of the tactical and do a semi-transparent overlay over the full galactic so the player always has a tactical view - you can be smart about positioning it in 3rd space by default, perhaps even make the floating tactical movable.
