I can make all the stock graphics look MUCH better...

[japinard]

Is there any interest? I'm guessing it would probably be about 1 Gig in size total and I would need someone to host. If someone could tell me the total size of all the graphic files... multply them by 7 and that's about what we'd be looking at... maybe more maybe less.

So far my editing results (just in the demo) have been superior... and I can crank out a file a minute.

Keep in mind, I do not have the game yet and am really poor right now.

NOTE: I've taken the editing to extreme file and density sizes and had almost no slowdown on my machine, but of course I have a really good system:

* OS: Win XP Home SP1
* Directx 9.0B
* Processor: AMD 64 3200+
* Motherboard: Asus K8V Deluxe
* Bios Rev: Version 1004
* Memory: 1 Gig Kingston KHX 3500 CL2
* Video Card: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Cat 3.10
* Sound Card: SB Audigy 2 (latest non-beta drivers)
* Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 Surround System
* Sound settings utilizing 5.1 speakers and EAX 3
* Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2060u - 22”
* Pioneer DVD Drive

I THINK, I might even be able to get alleviuate that fish-bowl affect. Yessssreee that's right! A starfield that doesm't make you seasick.

ALL of the stock data files? Ship textures and everything? If you can fix the backgrounds that might be worthwhile but downloading a Gig of stuff is gonna be a bit much for most people. How about trying just for the improved backgrounds for now?

I totally agree. I'm on Dialup, and downloading a full Gig would take WAY too much time. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 75-100 hours.

How about you break it down into different categories-- Planets, Landscapes, starfields, etc. Smaller downloads, and people can grab the files they're most interested in.

Know of anywhere that would possibly host them?
