Please some one respond.

Can you take an image of what you're seeing, (or not seeing)?

As far as I know, the tails are still on the ships when zoomed out to a certain "zoom level". When zoomed in, the square box showing the "tail" gets eliminated and the circled pencil "dot" is displayed. This has been done long before we started to work with FOTRS.

Personally, I'm ok with going back to the Stock game image of an actual ship icon...Red for Enemy, Blue for Friendly. Yes, you'd know exactly what direction the target is heading (due to the shape of the icon), but if you didn't want to see it, you could just set your options to eliminate the icon all together and go "Rambo" and plot the targets course from the information you glean. Kind of realistic, don't you think?
