Thoughts on changing the main menu and loading screens

[DaveB]

You're all thinking it, so somebody has to step up and actually go there...

...So far, all I can see of my pilot is her feet.

So she's at most a B-cup...

Seriously, though, the commander creator can't just stop at the face and it's not just the "empennage" on female pilots. There should be lean pilots, tall ones, short ones, given the amount of time we spend in station bars a few with a pronounced beer-gut, etc etc etc...

The spinning wire-frame ship loading screen is a feature that goes back to Elite '84. (just missing the audio of the individual bytes being loaded from tape)
I love that FD still make some references back to the genre's traditions, and would be upset if it was replaced with something without meaning.

Well said.

I wouldn't mind terribly if the start screen showed the ship you are currently piloting rather than always showing an Eagle.

I like the idea too. For us on Xbox, we don't have all that fancy programming to play with. lol. Maybe an option to turn on and off the wire frame or full ship?

Is this on a pc or xbox?

not bothered about loading screens, disappointed that my ship kit can not be seen on ship radar. it should be! how hard can it be to have it so?

it always shows the ship I'm in when I start the game. if I ended in my SRV loading screen shows the SRV! PC

I wouldn't mind a selection of amazing fan screenshots that changes weekly
... similar to what appears in the newsletter.
