would it be possible to make the ice completely see through with a teeny bit of opacity and a bit of grain on something that would look really cool.

I just want to see vo push my HD 4890 a bit. :)

Spidey.. I know a way you can push it, and it'll cost ya less than 10 bucks.

Buy a flatrate box from the USPS, push your card into it. And mail it to me.

thanks

Spidey, we find it's best to spend our valuable time making effects that most of our players can see. Not the people with the top 1% of hardware. We are not iD, or Crytek.

We will eventually make a fully refractive, truly-reflective, and transparent ice, which I hope to use in foggy sectors (so you won't be able to see very far anyway). But I'm not in a hurry on that.. it'll be sometime when Ray has some free time, and we have a lot to do right now.

I am looking forward to that for sure! And to being able to afford a machine to display it!

Seriously, eye candy is a good thing, and really is content. I go on scenic drives in my Jeep, and wouldn't mind going on scenic flights on my Warthog. In fact, I do, occasionally, especially when I first started playing. It would be fun to make a VO "career" out of virtual photography, and little visual rewards hidden around the galaxy would be fun to hunt down.

Damn if guildsoft was backed by crytek that would be awesome, and vo would have crysis physics and graphics in space and i would never ever leave my basement.

i would never ever leave my basement.

This is different from normal how?

Well, sometimes he has to go out and wash his crusty sock. And it's his mom's basement, not his.

But, overall, +1 Eonis

Actually its not just the socks that get crusty.

It was mentioned that embedding a cave man or a fish in the ice might be fun......

So when will the trade stuff and economy get fixed?

So Lecter is a /. fan... kind of expected.
I am with him on this one: Ice is nIce, content please!

confirming that the new ice is nice and a most welcome addition.
