Loading screen images
I'm thinking one or two other players may be as thick headed as I am. I'm forever forgetting whether this is a sector or system jump and then flying away from the worm hole instead of to it. (yes, the text helps, but only if I read it)
A different image for each would be a helpful reminder.
Also, doing a "u" (+TopList) when entering a sector is such a good idea. Why not do it automatically? Would it be possible to download that data to the client first, and overlay the loading screen image?

Well, theoreticly, one can't scan what is in the sector untill they are out of hyperspace.
And having something that automaticly tells you who is in the sector isn't so great for the pirates. They wouldn't have any targets, because everyone would see their name while warping in, and then just turn around and warp out.

The game departs from reality at a number of points. A 3000m limit on the radar? In the universe I come from, the limit on velocity is 299,792,458 m/s. These are game play related decisions. My bias is going to be for anti-piracy measures. The real test will be when the beta opens up again and the star lanes are filled with traffic.
The impetus for the 2nd thought (and it is just a thought) had more to do with giving one something to do with those loading screen seconds. As for a rational, ships have transponders that transmit through the incoming worm hole?

Vendetta is supposed to be fun, instead of realistic.
A different image for each sector gets tedious though, especially when it comes to expanding upon Vendetta's universe. Different nation and system related loading images would be a pleasing new sight.

Sorry, I meant just the two. Sector jump and system jump as a reminder.
