Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle background element such as a fleet of ships, a space station, or trade routes to hint at the empire-building and strategy depth that sets X4 apart from action-only space games.
  2. [title_readability] Increase the weight or contrast of the Foundations subtitle with a stronger outline or shadow so it remains legible at small and tiny capsule sizes.
  3. [composition] Shift the astronaut figure slightly inward from the left edge to reduce crop risk and create a safer margin on Steam surfaces with tighter framing.
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a secondary visual hook such as a large capital ship or orbital station in the midground to reinforce the scale and simulation scope unique to X4.
