Picture in Picture. A little real time snapshot in the corner of your interface showing one of severa locations on the map. Using this feature in EE2, I've been able to effectively manage two battles at once, and keep an eye on my city. :)

Awesome feature.

Just thought I'd share that with you all.

iirc Earth 2150 had that feature. it was a relatively obscure game though. a shame b/c it was pretty fun and had beautiful graphics for its time.

EE2 has some nice features, it is a shame that I absolutely hate the interface. It seems counter-intuitive for some reason.

Would be an even better feature if it could use Dual Monitor Support. (havent played EE2 so Im just assuming it doesnt.

Playing X2: The Threat in a massive Carrier or Battleship with 4 turret views on my second monitor was fun and useful.
