Charles Lindsey Posted May 26, 2002 Report Share Posted May 26, 2002 quote:is there an EB exclusivity period again? Probably not. quote: because the EB exclusive made it difficult for other retailers (they're pissed) to stock the product, XP1 is now a full product.

Epsilon 5 Posted May 27, 2002 Report Share Posted May 27, 2002 That ODS looks soo doomed Btw in the second picture of your last post, could the ship we see at the top right be a Questar? A litle small to be sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a quake 2 bfg-like weapon or a large assault rifle with fast firing rate (vulcan cannon?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted July 9, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 The Frontend (Logistix, Tactical etc) won't change (why would it?). Only the fp HUD and ship view HUD systems will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted July 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 quote:Originally posted by Sebbit: Cool. The HUD, if anything, would be what I want changed. In screen shots, the HUD was the same, so that is why I assumed it stayed the same.Yeah, its too cartoony for my taste. But mind you, now everyone is using icons. See Freelancer, E&B etc. Must be a trend or something. I must say that after playing the excellent IG3 demo, I am dying to go back to that nice, clean interface which I had back in the early days of BC. What do you guys think? i.e. a ship HUD interface nice, clean and similar to Tacops. The fp HUD will resemble modern day shooters i.e. the only icons will be the weapon displayed on the bottom of the screen. Other items would be similarly grouped there, leaving the main stream nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted July 10, 2002 Report Share Posted July 10, 2002 Your right about the 'cartoony' look. I wasnt 100% sure about the new look when I first tried the demo. IG3 does have a nice look, although the icons for Close, Flee, Attack Device etc.. are not the best in my opinion. But the rest looks good. Are you considering going back to the 'cockpit' view from the previous version? It helped for the atmosphere, giving you a 'sense' of being inside the ship.

Count the number of crafts in the game and you'll begin to see the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosko Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 quote:After reinstalling BC3K just to take another look at that classic beauty, personally I think a nother futuristic reincarnation of that text-based bridgeview (tacops-style), but without the 20th Century 'pitch ladder' (though okay for fighters) would be ideal for a BCG capital ship.Did you mean the text box in the Tacops view?? IMO, I loved the original layout of tacops over the new one.....It was way more efficient... But then again I didn't have a chance to get used to the new tacops system...does anyone else relate with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
