That One Thing

First off, I'd like to say I really enjoyed this mod. It's far better than any of the other st1 or st2 mods I've come across, and I've played a lot of them. The graphics in this one are nothing less than stunning and the various stats are truly genius.

The one complaint I have, which I feel really puts a damper on the mod, is the view point from which you play. It's extremley difficult from the perspective you play from in Fleet Operations, (I was playing Instant Action at the time) to control fleets and move about your base easily. It's just not very feasible. = I much prefered the top down view of the first Star Trek Armada game. The view from the original Armada II is too far away, imo.

So on the whole, I commend you on the mod. It is truly a work of art. But if you could just change this one tiny thing, with the perspective, I believe you really would have something here. It's better than many games I've played, I'd not be surprised if people would buy the game and download and install the mod even if they didn't like Star Trek.

If its not possible to change the viewpoint, I'll understand. xD But I would seriously consider changing the perspective if at all possible.

btw, posted this over on the filefront forums, than found your forums so decided to post it here too.

you do know that the perspective is adjustable with the mouse wheel?

if that doesnt work try pressing the +/- keys on the keypad (group of buttons bunched with num-lock). as a final way you could try holding both buttons on the mouse (right & left) then while holding move the mouse up or down to adjust (note i found this way much more sensitive).

It may also be that you pressed (by accident, or a key combo) which changes your view from normal RTS to action view or whatever. To change this, press an eye-like button which is located in the top right corner of your screen ^_^
