| Summary | 0020663: I think there should be some variety in ship altitude | ||||
| Description | Right now they all fly at the same height, which seems a bit weird when you zoom in. In my opinion it would be better if at least those stacked ship units (one unit, multiple ship models when zoomed) were flying in a bit different heights. I think it'd make screenshots look better, but it's a completely cosmetic change that doesn't affect gameplay, so I understand it's not very high in priority at the moment :) I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. English is not my native language and sometimes it's hard for me to express my thoughts in it. | ||||

Yes I agree! However I am afraid it might not be technically possible if the game world is a 2D plane, not 3D. It would be great to see the models arranged in 3D |

I just noticed that some ships actually DO fly at different levels, but overall the fleet just looks too flat to me, if you know what I mean. |
|

Those are formation offsets. It's...an interesting thing to note...it's up to Chris for major visual things like this, though. |

|
Thanks for the feedback! This will have to be considered at a later time. |
|
|
On this topic I...did give the units that were completely flat some vertical offsets. Nothing super dramatic. |

Unfortunately, we've tried variations on this and the result was not something that was pleasing to look at. If it's going to at all represent the 2D playing field that the game actually is, then the ships have to pretty much listen to where they are supposed to be. |
