| Summary | 0013721: Solar System screen lacks a player metaphor | ||||
| Description | We once had a ship, and now it's gone. I'd like to bring it back, since it was the only thing "connecting" me to the screen. Even if you want to do away with the "meaning" of the ship moving (and time passing while movement occurs), having the ship on there at least provides me a metaphor with which I can relate to the game. TL;DR: Even if we're zipping everywhere instantaneously via hyperdrive, you should still display this as an action. Otherwise, we're just clicking on a map. From my post here: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,15081.msg167145.html#msg167145 Quoted: Just curious about lore on the galaxy screen: am I teleporting from planet to planet now? Or is the metaphor that I'm contacting people via space internet? But then of course initiating a deed at a planet is instant as well. Is the ship moving from planet to planet gone for good now, or is it on break? I hope it comes back in some form. Along with the sense of alienation that just clicking on planets gives me, you also lose some potential time-tension: will I get to planet X in time to prevent that war (or whatever). At the very least, I'd want some kind of metaphor for travel between these places, even if it's my ship going ZIP and teleporting there. | ||||

Already in the patch notes for the next version, you see it zip across and then it disappears again. |
