The C2 implementation of what 3D can do wasn't very well designed.

Of you can't see that them C1 graphics are epic then I suggest you get your eyes tested.

I want to see a scary looking ship shooting real bad ass weapons.

Not like the C2 shit we have now flying bubbles and blowing bubbles at each other.

Jey posted about the engines graphics a few weeks ago. People were asking for C1 looking engine graphics again. Jey said it's very hard to pull off due to the diffrent camera angles C2 allows. I imagine it's exactly the same with the weapon graphics.

If SS gets some money/resources later, would be worth looking into making actual graphics. Seems like C1 was pretty damn good sprite graphics, whereas C2 is just really shitty 3d graphics (FF 6 vs. FF 7 anyone?).

The only reason its hard is because they want to allow that stupid camera angle shit. I think Blue, or Vert, are the ones that said it wouldn't be very hard (or take very long) to get C1 looking engines if the camera angle never changed and the game was forced into an Orthographic Camera.

Exactly.



So can we just move Orthographic Camera from a toggle option that's in alpha, to a forced way of being?

I'm still against fucking speed bumps (lol jk they are suns/planets).

Devs already said they'd never do this :P
They want to keep the diffrent camera angles.

If you dont have ortho cam enabled you can change it by pressing page up and page down.

It is, for a bit. Untill you do combat and you realise its a horrible camera angle for fighting :P. Most people use ortho cam so you get a better overview and it makes the speedbumps lemon was talking about away. For that reason, most people would gladly give up the camera angles for better particle graphics.

Irrlicht has some pretty awesome particle emitters, it would just take someone diving into it and figuring out how the fancy stuff works.
