Whoa, whats up with the front page?

Thank heavens they've finally jazzed it up somewhat. It needed it.

Looking a whole lot better!
 
Looks rather nice to me, good job FDEV.

Now whip someone to get a nice skin/integration for the forum too (preferably with linked forum and game accounts). :D
 
Clearing cache helped me too...

New site looks Amazeballs!!!! Just needs the [Forum] link at the top rather than at the bottom.
 
2 things

1. Requesting good res variants for those three

2. The news section needs some work imo. Please devote a box for the newsletter (now called archive) and either move the feature on the main site (linking static html for the newsletters, or embedding the content on the site) or at least provide something better than an unformatted page that loses the old entries.

Believe me, it will help a lot with visibility, access to information and game promotion.
 
Very impressive. I hope they do not have static locked external views of the ship. I was hoping for a delayed chase cam external view, so when your ship changes orientation or direction, the camera also matches it, but with a short delay to help give the perception of motion..

but in any case, if I knew nothing of ED and saw that site for the first time, I would be demanding they take my money just on seeing that video.. :)
 
New site looks great :eek: Now all is well arranged.

This view of Aulin Ent. .......ehhhh....You can look and look....and look on this :p

Ehhhh.....looking at the inside of station....I wanted to have the opportunity to walk around the station.....now..hihi :) .
 
Aliens abducted the front page and replaced the stuff there with hypnotizing imagery? Launch the Vipers, before we start to build alien pyramids thinking it is natural!!! :eek:

Agree.

Newsletters are great way to bring new players.
 
All looks fine to me, although I do worry there might be a rash of returns when people realise that there aren't 400 billion star systems in the game.

j/k, but FD should probably get the party line right on this one as the discrepancy was highlighted at E3.

Well if anyone manages to actually count them all - how ever many we end up with - by visiting each one. I'll give them their money back!
 
Just one remark
Nosing around various oculus rift sites I noticed not all of them know about Elite Dangerous
45.000 Dk2 or more were ordered...
Let yourself be known Frontier...
Perhaps a rift trailer on the front page as well?

Clear your cache.

Ah yes, ahem , that did it actually. Now the new website looks superb! Other than the fact that you have made a bit of a website design error by requiring users to scroll down to read the whole site. That is a no-no. You should keep to single screen pages of at all possible. Or at least that's what I read when I was thinking of becoming a web designer.

The new look webpage is very nice, but just one small concern; is there a reason to not have the 'Forum' link up top (like it used to be - so continuity of design/ease of use+access) as the forums are a huge part of game support for most people these days?

I think you have room up there with 'Home', 'Game', 'News' etc, the style would not be compromised.

I have to scroll the page 'down' now to get access to the 'Forum' link, when probably it should be right up top to see and access? It's not a huge issue to scroll the page down, but it makes it feel more seamless when you don't have too?
