Summary | 0013115: turret art needs to be updated to show angle and direction rather than the green lines | ||||
Description | The background art has been completely eliminated in favor of green lines for the turrets. The visual quality has overall deteriorated from the previous version. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I am not sure I follow. The turrets themselves are new. They have fixed firing angles, and are not allowed to turn. They do show what direction they are facing, but they also show what their firing cone is (which cannot turn). Are you basically saying you don't like seeing the firing cones? I think it makes it much easier to plot paths between where turret coverage is weak, honestly. |
|
I guess I just don't like the black background with the green angles. Would be easier if the art itself described the angles, maybe by giving it the kind of scaffolding that would make it obvious. The old backgrounds were much more space like. |
|
The black backgrounds were just a bug. See what you think on the new setup, I'd say. The turrets do describe where they can fire, but you can't really express the entire firing angle with that sort of art. And most specifically, you can't see it visually well enough. The black backgrounds were really a horrible and ugly and accidental thing, though. If you restart steam it should put you on the version with the proper graphics back. |
|
This is better without the black background. Going to give this a shot for awhile. |

Got it; thanks. I think the clarity is pretty important, so I suppose we'll see how it goes. I'm signing off for the night, going to get some sleep -- take care! As I mentioned in the forum thread, I'm going to try to ignore mantis and the forums tomorrow as well, so that I can get the solar map stuff polished enough to push out. But I'll be back on top of this Monday, so by all means please keep logging anything and everything you like. Thanks again for all your support. |

Was a bug in that version. |
