Default Re: Starfury : Lacking a lot?

Yeah people like me? I was going to knock up my own Version of the the game, but with simlper constrainsts.

Kinda one solar system, shuttling cargo between planets.

I was also going to try a 'real scale' system, and represent everything on a holographic map, replacing the need for the view system map. My idea would use labels to highligh key items, because everythng would be too small.

In a real scale system, you could add alot more detail, and then do the Zelda thing where you can only see whats near you (based on scanner technology/speed of light response time), and then larger items such as the Sun and big planets would be always visible but 'in the fog'.

Too busy at the moment tho =)


Might try adjusting the view angle of some of the ships then, might make my life easier. Thx for the research/code Phoenix.
