They can whine all they want (they will ALWAYS whine about something).

As long as hteir wihining doesn't have proper merit, who cares.



Having solar systems with planet orbits has never been a "make-or-break" feature. And if it is for someone, I have to question their sanity. A clean and fuctional UI is a must.

people like shining things. That is why gold is so expensive. So i sugest make it functunal and butifull but we also have to be emerged in the game. Getting this wron weel anger a lot of people. I know i have seen what happens

Haven't we all, I think there are hardly any person attending this forum that is of a different opinion.

Scrolling the list of planets wasn't a good solution ?

Since they wouldn't all be on the screen..I guess the answer would be "no".

well make it optional the spacetroll.

Waste of time and resources better spent elsewhere...

the thing is trasman is that if people dont have it they will whine. If they have it tey turn it off. And people rewving games never play them so long as to turn stuff like that off they just whine that its not there and gives the game a lover grade.

And that is a bad post since none knows what the point of your post was to beginwith... hence add some actual contents that does contribute something please.

Znork is right in this. Its sadly the exact same comment ill use to counter his own argument in another thread.

yes but in this thread i dont have to choose so i want it all. hade i been forced to choose then we would have goten a clerar answer

Maybe the first time a fleet arrives in a new system, an optional video sequence (rendered in the in-game engine, maybe?) doing a nice solar flyby or something?



Now I remember what this quandary reminded me of. East India Company! The docking/trading menu. Prior to the Director's cut/GOTY edition, every time you went into a port with a fleet to trade, it had to load up a nice but ultimately useless 3D render of the town. After much debate, the devs finally put in the option of simply having a menu overlay instead of the 3D representation. Made the game much more fluid, especially considering you're menu hopping a lot.

Yes but it also has to look good and make you feel that you are running solar sytem

Well only for the first times to get you into the game.. after that it usually goes mechanical on howto make everything better, faster, stronger etc

yes but the frist time is very imporant reviews are often bassed on that.

That and the single player part

Yes, albeit you can get 2 separate reviews.

I remember the reviews about R.U.S.E. in that respect. SP was so/so but MP was glowing, as far as reviews go.

The system screen reminded me of MOO3 screen and i never liked nor MOO3 nor its GUI.



I have nothing against the way the system is represented in The Endless though.



However a small picture somewhere on that screen with a star and planets on orbits would be nice. Could be put somewhere with system-wide FIDS/aproval/etc info. ( BTW will there be such a thing or will we have only per-planet info as it is shown here?).

System wide details would be really useful especially if the build queues etc. are per system not per planet.
