I would like to suggest a new animation when you travel between sectors. The current animation left me with the impression that this game was created by amateurs.
I would like it to be something like a worm hole that sucks your ship in(I belive that that is the way it shoul be). It should also have a 3d look to it(not like the current one, it's just a circle). The rings that appear when you get out of the portal are too low detail. I will try to find some pictures to give examples of better worm holes.

The whole transportation system will be changed soon.

Hmm.. well if you put everything on "very high" the warp actually looks kind of neat.

watch cowboy bebop, the warp animation is taken from that

Yeah but Cowboy Bebop uses wormhole ring structures. When it's out in the open like that it looks a little funky. Bleh!

/still wanting wormhole 3d ring models

Well, here's my suggestion on how to make the wormhole animation better, while eliminating the need for invincibility...

the old DS9 WH looked pretty cool, even the bab5 would be better.

I had the same thoughts about the WH, while it looks kinda cool, it belongs in an old 1997 game.

Oooh, the DS9 wormhole looks awesome... I haven't seen the ones in Babylon 5, though... Picture?

well since the universe is the next thing on the Devs, "Hack, Slash and Build" list, I would imagine a lot would change. Remeber there are supposed to be many systems, each with numerous sectors. I would think a very different transport system will be put in place.

Slash and burn! Slahs and burn! Destroy the great sectoral forests!

Durgia is right

and guys Specially topic poster, the game is just trying to get to a level to release. All the fine tuning will get done after the game is running.

I think for only having four guys and we're feeding them :P (moreover Ku is :P) they're doing a d*mn good job. Lets see how 3.4 looks...it'll bring about many a new thing to keep us quite busy from noticing the warps...
