Happy holidays all
What was this huge trafficload that shut us down for few days? where was it from?

Werent there a idea that cross-categories dependencies would be quite rare. In per category shown tech tree, such dependancy could be shown with little icon and explanation. ("Requires nanomachinery theory from construction")

How I'm looking it now, Graphically I stand for pre-modelled, static 3D-shipmodels. Just because I rather see very well designed and polished spaceships, than have quite certainly messier looking dynamic models. If I had a crazy budget and slaves to spare, I would love to see something like city-of-...

Awwh, It'll take me till monday-evening till I make my suggestion, (have internship entrytest-tasks to finish yet, wish me luck ) so little more time to polish your ideas.

pd - would you like to send me a nice scientist-pose of that alienchick of yours?

cheers
Miu

saw them and I liked the immersive background picture with scientists and stuff. But it dindt define much how the tech tree should be shown.. I think split to under research/possible to research/already researched and subdivisions for each category works better than dividing them to theoretical, tec...

Gentlemen, Time to work this out, our programmers need things to do. I'll do my sketches on next weekend based on stuff discussed here, so collect your thoughts :) In how many parts screen should be divided? How to visualise technology images - realtime 3d or stills and with how big resolution? How ...

Good comments. Noelte that vertical line idea is very good one. Weakness of those not-chosen resources is because of my poor lcd-monitor, will be fixed when on better monitor. Breadman, I like the clarity and touch but it needs more thought - also you have to show somewhere if balanced focus is chos...

One on the left is just the old ui that I had as reference when sketching.. just ignore it and look at the fancy things on right side. Those number down there which miss the icons, are infrastructure, health/enviroment, happiness and security meter values.

Been very busy week, anyway, here's updated sketch on sidepanel/planet info. I'm quite happy with the layout. Those bars under resource values are their meter-values. brightest is the current, then the current max and then space for it to grow. Should grown expotentially (bar moves smaller amounts w...

by reading last few post, I start to get a good and clear idea how researchscreen would work out/be arranged UI-wise, but dont wait sketch for this during next week or so, I'm very busy with school ATM and I have that map-mode sketch to finish yet

Hi and welcome. Breadman is currently working on new stars for 0.3 (btw, how are you doing with them?) and I'm working with sidepanel and new UI theme. I just have to get my move arranged, still much unpacking and organising to do, on next week you'll have new sketches to see, I promise :) Wait a li...

Busy as well in IRL for week or so, arrenging a move here, with new net-connection and such. but slightly updated skecth.. http://users.evtek.fi/~k0201783/freeorion/03uidesign08.jpg I really like the layout, style and exact details to be decided, with or without metal borders. I also will consider s...

My quess is that when we'll do races, we will make gas giants and astroid fields colonizable acordingly. There has been some discussion about the issue earlier

About races in general, early thoughts. Graphilly are some archtypes that I would like to use. Important: stone-biologic-mechanical-insect and then fish/flying-lizard?-energy-cyborg .. or combinations of thoselike stone-energy, or mechanical-insect races. We have at least shiptypes: low-tech metal, ...

Looks good. I would love to see them as militant, mathriarcal-faschistic aestetician warlords with enchanced cybernetics to allow direct communication with their ships. A step more dangerous race of space-babes :) Edit: "Everything on this ship is directly connected to my nerv-system, you men have n...
