I was thinking earlier about what Gav's got in store for us in terms of orders you can give your ships and task forces etc, ad what the ideal screen would look like.

I found this old render of the abandoned Universal Evolution project. I don't want to debate with anyone any aspect of that project at all, but I thought I'd post the pic here as it really was a cool idea.

It's clear the models we're getting are miles ahead of the UE ones, and some of the options aren't even necessary. Still, does look cool.

Can't disagree with that SOM, though they did seem to have a good layout of the Battle Screen

not bad but you need to see more of the battle screen, i do like the radar like circle in the corner, iff that could be made to show the ship and objects on the battle field, it might work well

So you know if there's a Klingon sneaking up behind you

pretty much or a dirty romulan slime

They'll be cloaked though - so you won't (usually) be able to detect them

I like it its good but is it posiblr that the radar could show planets! make it look even better

I think it would. Something like what was used as a Radar in Dominion Wars

lmao that was done in either adobe or psp, they never got as far as a 3d engine. i bet you a tenner i could knock one up in half an hour and make it an avi.

Is that a serious bet?

if it was i wouoldnt take him up on it. He is all knowing (i think he worked on it too)

I'm not 18 anyway - so i'm not going to Gamble just yet
Thanks for the offer though Jig, come back in 5 years and i'll take that on

in 5 years a could make a few movies

Multi-Vector Assault mode against some colony ships...I think I can bet who's gonna win...

Is the battle mode similar in any way to that screeny Jig?

Or are you gonna be evil like Gavin and show us a screen that only says 'Battle mode' or something and thats it?

well who would have thought it, the tal`shiar ok it`s knees to the obsidian order begging for classified information

What little 5min home ones Jig?

Oh don't worry, I knew the answer already, it was just a ruse so you'd let your guard down...

And the answer is Matress?

no chris the answer is not mattress.

I should have used the correct Punctuation, i was referring for Matress, to answer the question: ie NOT - And The Answer Is Matress?
YES - And The Answer Is, Matress?

In the words of 'Admiral' Patrick...That's a stupid question!



Anywho, I like the idea of being able to give your ships more specific orders, I hate when my dumbass captains refuse to fire torpedos until the enemy has warped away -.-

Its almost as though you're not in command when you're meant to be
