I would like to know how many times I died myself.

On a other note I would love to see more racing tube designs, I don't know if it's just me but I think there is only two tube tracks when racing.

If you download the latest cockpit mod, it comes with some really nice HUD changes ... including a fantastic "box" used for races and delivery contracts.

You mean like this?

Yes, Marvin, like that.

Congratulations. A short post. I read the whole thing.

I admit Rubber Chickens can be long- winded. Seriously help me out here.

Click on Quote and delete the parts you don't want. Just don't delete the corresponding brackets.

What I would really like to see, is a choice between cockpit models from the last few games (Legends, Mercenary, and Arvoch Alliance). The new Arvoch cockpit is simply awesome, and I would love to use this in Mercenary.

Wouldn't we all.

I would really like to see some more advanced graphical rendering options, for use with higher end machines if you have them. stuff like HDR, more advanced cloud systems on planets, etc

as well,
planets that feel larger, and have multiple climates would be cool (though not all that important i guess). more reasons to go down on planets would be awesome as well (such as being able to build your own stations on planets, and being able to do bombing runs on other peoples planets).

not trying to push anyones buttons with this one either, but why not try an optional steam release as well? thats bound to drive up sales.

Indeed. A simple menu option would be great, but I suspect it may involve quite a bit of work, and increased file size. Perhaps Vice wants to keep the cockpits unique to each game?

What I am wishing to see/hope to be an extenuation of the game.

1.) Ground Combat (Ground Conversion operations)
2.) Planetary city/ base creation (not sure if you can plant your own in any location of given planets)
3.) Interior 3d environments for ships, bases and other (as human- alien whichever).
4.) Dynamic Planetary Weather?
5.) Super weapons?
6.) More online abilities to host more players? ( I saw a post that described hosting to be at 35?)
7.) hmm I think that's it for my thoughts I'll have more the longer I am apart of this community!

Happy Flying!

Edit: After playing the full version for awhile

1.) Movable Turrets/ Guns (with actual meshes)
2.) Maybe transformable parts? (To allow for better speed or, defend, or cloaking?)
3.) Different cockpits for different ships?
4.) MFD options?

That'd be cool.
5.) A small hud screen to watch movies on while playing (Import movie files via folder and will play automatically). It's a long flight when you're low low low on fuel...

Recently played the AA demo (which I will be buying soon). The cockpit as metioned by other players is AWESOME.
The range of motion for the pan view is exactly what I was trying to describe in a previous post I made on this thread.
I vote for something similar in EM. Also I would like to see a way to search/sort entries I've made in the Map Log. I'm aware of the truly excellent NavMap link in SeeJay's signature, but I don't have a second monitor, and It contains ALOT of spoilers for my tastes. Something built into the standard game would be really helpful.

Oh, and the occasional chaotic aseroid field would be really cool.
Dogfighting in the middle of "God's Pinball Machine" would add a new level of excitement and strategy for the brave fighters of the universe!

Vice made the Log a text file, specifically so you can edit it.

Rubber Chicken · Post by **Rubber Chicken** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:32 am

I mean in the NavMap menu in-game as well. Or did I misunderstand?

Post by **Marvin** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:35 am

Well, the in-game default Map Log list can be edited. And Atollski's Nav Map program will pop up in-game when you come across a new, unlisted planet ... and that, too, can be edited. So, I don't know what it is you want to edit that can't already be edited.

Rubber Chicken · Post by **Rubber Chicken** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 5:01 am

I want to be able to use a simple search box IN the Map Log menu to zero in on entries I've made. Currently having to scroll through a list of 200+ entries to find 1 is a pain. While mods and add-ons are great, having a simple feature like this in the standard game IMO would be better. I know it's just me, but I like to keep things as "vanilla" as possible with the games I own.

Post by **Marvin** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:57 pm

Okay, I get it. You want a subroutine where you can press a key to call up a window, type in a key word, and have the subroutine search for the key word in your Nav Log. Sounds like it could still be better executed as a mod or an add-on to Atollski's program.

Rubber Chicken · Post by **Rubber Chicken** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:32 pm

Close, but not quite. I want to open my Nav Map console, select Map Log submenu, and have a search box ready at all times in the Map Log display itself. That way it can show me related items at the top of list and I can click the one I want. There's enough space in the Map Log submenu of the Nav Map console to fit this in.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 3:29 am

I think that is not going to happen, it wil slow down a lot of computers that are running already on minimum resources the way the current programming of the Game is set up! The only time you can browse or search for anything is when you have the game running in one of the Windows Mode and you acces windows Desktop while you are in the game and the game keeps running in the background or freezes if your in the exit mode while you check your desktop or search for anything else on your computer!........

Me neither. Vice has already deleted one or two really good subroutines from his list of "legacy" game options so as to keep the download size at the current level.

Bummer I suppose...

I just wanted to find Map Log entries faster instead of scrolling and hunting through the entire list. I don't want to search the Internet whilst taking the scenic route.
