Intro Screen

Feb 02, 2011 Astronut link
Was just wondering if Maybe you could enhance the intro screen a little bit? I mean going around a space station gets kind of boring. Maybe go through shots of space, and asteroids, etc.

Just a suggestion...:P

P.S. - Also I think the Atlas ship could use a little more detail. It seems to be lacking textures?

I'm not opposed to the idea, I just can't fathom sitting and watching the opening screen of a game for more than a moment. This, to me, seems to be an inherently boring activity. I don't know why the developers would spend more time on it than they already have, given that the time spent on that screen should be very brief.

interesting idea, but I think atm devs've got a lot of work to do

that's not only Atlas, almost all ships are designed 7-8 yrs ago, so..

I think the atlas has some of the better textures of the old ships, it has the most details.

And i like the intro screen. I think the longest i looked at it was the first time i logged in and had to type out my username and password (which coincidentally, i just gave you, in order.... )

It would be cool if it loaded different ones randomly. Say, each of the nation capitol stations and their surrounding asteroid fields?

That login screen is the first taste of VO's in-game graphics that a new player is going to see. It makes sense for it to look nice.

Just have it always show B8. Then we can know if there's any action without having to log all the way in.

Alloh, not the jump screen. The login screen.

+1 as a low priority, minor update. A fair portion of the ships, imo, need updated textures and such, but that's quite a larger project.

I agree with abortretryfail in that first impressions count. +1 to Astronut
