The image when you first start up the game, while game/textures load...

It's terribly old, with terribly low-quality settings... This is the first impression players get when they first download/start VO, and should be fairly easy to throw a newer/nice png in there :)

Higher resolution pictures can be risky when the actual resolution is not known. Once the config is read in a better loading screen would be an improvement. Also It might be good to have a few different screens to help keep things a bit fresher..

All of that is too much... as in it would require the devs to work :(

I just want a more recent picture with higher-graphics settings screenshot... not higher-res, same res just crank up the glow-scene/textures/etc...

I'd like to see artistic screenshot with some space art as VO start up screen.

+1 ... eye candies must be updated frequently! And the 1st impression is important.

And since it is a static image, not a rendered 3D scene, it really doesn't matter the hardware! All VO-supported plataforms are capable of rescaling images (jpg/png).
