Scrap BMP, use PNG. This format support alpha-channel at least.

I'm sure you'll be able to move the camera to get different views, such as top down etc! |

It is possible to rotate system. But I agree, zoomed out planets look horribly - sharp edges, slightly distorted proportions (flaw of early 3d-engines). I hope it will be improved in time. |

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
My only nitpick is that the stars waste a huge amount of space in the system veiw. Why not keep the stars small?

Short and sweet answer
The long answer is that the hex grid in se5 is alot bigger than the grid in se4 so there is room for stuff to make more sense size wise.

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
Time to discuss the screenshots.
I notice in the first shot the system has a modifier that moves all points generated automatically to the Norak. Does this mean that the Norak have built a spaceport, or they are natural merchants, or it means something else?. I ask because it's strange that it is one of the system modifiers.

It could also be a screenie from early in the alpha, before space ports were coded in.

Re: Malfadors New Site Is Up WITH SCREEN SHOTS!
I wonder what "Experience Types" refers to on the help screen.
