With the introduction of micro intensive units that are supposed to be selected in clumps of units like Lobsters, I've realized how bad single unit selection can be in Zero-K.

In this picture I can't select the Lobster even though all units are standing idle without pushing eachother.

Because of the above issue, it is sometimes necessary or easier to select a unit from icon view than zooming in.

Icons probably have a circular size. I suppose selecting the icon being layered highest makes sense, but something that is not intuitive, is the size of the selection circle and where it ends, and if a unit is even selectable from icon view.

3. In my opinion, it should always be possible to select a single unit in a group from straight above both in icon view and model view at some zoom level.

5. One possible change to make single unit selection easier could be: Instead of always getting the unit on top, you select the unit that is close to a ray casted from the screen to the mouse cursor position in some combination of the size of the unit or icon, and the unit distance to the camera.
