"Ahh yes, Admiral Zhukov; The Governor of Pleides is demanding we send the Seventh Fleet, immediately, to their system. They have recovered an emergency beacon for a freighter that has disappeared. You may want to view this image... "
Thats just BRILLIANT!! Both from an artistic as well as a Hummor point of view. We must include that in FO someware (idealy linked in some way to a "Space Monster" event).
I don't want to offend obiwan in any way, but in my humble opinion the current v0.3 splash looks a little clumsy(i hope it's the right word). The logo placement and those borders bother me most, but it's also the color overkill. It's a question of taste i guess.
Sadly, i don't have much to offer myself. I've handed in a modified version of the v0.2 splash, which is displayed below. Just thought i should share it with you. I liked the change in mood those colors give and it also fits the logo pretty nice.
