Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
 

Can I make this one suggestion: the star system screen is great, but it would help a LOT if it were easily "revolvable" - Adobe does this cool thing where you hold done the mouse button and "grab" the image, and can move it - for the star system screen, it looks a bit crowded, so it would be nice to be able to avoid the hotkey to rotate the image and just use the mouse to do it (by holding down the mouse key, grabbing the image, and thereby rotating the system image clockwise or counterclockwise)

Thanks,

Alarik

All I'm saying (to the beta testers) is Be mindfull of your posts. The Beta Officially started on April 1st. The first order of business is the signing and gathering of NDA agreements, then the CD's get mailed out, then the bug hunt begins then the gameplay polishing starts.

Fyron, I'm not trying to be harsh, I just want you and the other beta testers to "Be mindful of what you post from now on." Common sense should be enough to make things go smoothly.

Nuf said, Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You'll have to excuse me, but I take everything literally, so when I read that the gamesphere is infinitely smaller than a Dyson Sphere I assumed the whole game is just an intellectual excercise.

Or some sort of "treasure hunt"..... the team that finds the sphere first wins http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif so far all winners have been extradimensional creatures..... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

no but really.

PLZ MORE MICROMANAGEMENT..... I Luv mm, I'm making a mod that not only lets me define the underwear preferences for my fleet captains, but everything down to the very position of Cadet's nose hairs! (no, just kidding)

Smarty-pants =-p

Well, there's infinite and there's infinite. Granted, even a dysonsphere is pretty small on the cosmic scale of things, but I think comparing an object the size of a sports stadium to an object the size of a habitable planet's orbital radius is as close to infinite as my head wants to waste any think-cycles trying to comprehend.

I'll edit the wiki though, just to highlight your pedantry. =-)

What is this "common sense" you speak of?

On screenshot #6, the one highlighting "Iolo Asteroid belt #1", it mentions "Occlusion". I wonder what that means...
