globe too small - 2 suggestions

At the current state the 3d globe is too small.

I would suggest at the very least to increase it this by 200%

or have the option to zoom on it, but for now I think the global map is really *empty*

My biggest complaint with the globe was I found it difficult to navigate on it, and the base icon was huge.  I switched back to 2D because I found it much easier to manipulate and find things.  

I think if the screen was redesigned to allow more real estate for the globe, a larger globe would be useful, but when I use it, it just fits into the screen, and this is about perfect (to me) for being able to spin it to find locations.

you should try to hit the space bar (2d and 3d geoscape)

The globe has definitly a lot of potential but the scale of the globe is definitely too low, I think it will be a lot better if scaled up - also would be cool t have a background picture RaXar seems to have created a nice one for his alternate GIU  8)

I think brithness of the globe should be increased a bit, maybe the color contrast should be a little bit more bright green on earth.

we know that the base incon si temporary, thats ok for me so far.


Also, I saw Sitters alien terror mission logo used, I think it is acceptable in the current state as long as we dont come with a better idea.

I woud suggest to have , if possible, an slight red effect line like the one we ve got in ufo aftermath for the bases and missions- see following picture

Ideally it would be a skybox that rotates with the globe.
