Blink And Glow Effects

i think you cood elimate the need for a glowe is evry thing in fo sachration was lowered evry thing in fleetops is realy hi sachration.

space is dark as it is and by making things dark you will not hide all the graphic elaments you will just make tham harder to see making it that much cooler when some on zooms in.

the glowe is a bit out of place for me.

the trick is to make a good amount of contrast between the lite and the dark problom soved.

Without warp then (enders game) time would be slower on the ship than on the planet. basicaly if a journey took 2 weeks for you an the ship it would actualy be 2 years or so in real life.

I realy dont eant warp. it defeats te purpose of turrets realy. And ints. because no warp it forces you to make multile fleets to defend your base and moons. otherwise...people could just make like 2 fleets of ships and warp them when they want to. besides. with real warp you should be able to cross the map in less than a second

thats sifi ewm! if all would be correct, startrek would has never been produced. and sry for that bad english...i hope u know what i mean. gramatical issue is my weak point. ^_^

problem for me is: even if glow an blink effects are good ingame if you zoom in (be near at a ship), you cant see it as well when you zoom out. You chould be able to see the great textures even when you are on a playable zoom level.

OK well I think glows should be there wether they're "real" physics or not. why not say the glow is reflecting of neutrinos aint there a rediculus number of them per cubic meter of space anyhow. btw does anybody know what the aura you see around streetlamps is, is that the light reflecting off the air particles?

i guess we'll have to asume that the light is reflecting off of the ships surface, thus creating a the illusion of a glow. besides lights often play tricks on the naked eye (desert mirage anyone? )

how sed siy fiy hass to be caroonish star gate, battal star, star wars, and evin star trek are not cartoony.

the game will appeal to a wider audience if it is made as real as posabule.

star trek isn't real and i think the glow and blink effect doesn't really effect the quality of the game anyway. cool if you have some. but i think if everything blinks and clows you would go mad with al the pimped up ships
