Maybe you guys can show the ships at an angle to show all of the designed 3d glory in a future version.
I read that Frogboy was upset that he went with the top
down version of the ships since they are really 3d.

Perhaps you'll give the user a choice in the menu.

Ships Displayed- Toggle TOPDOWN or ANGLED 3D VIEW

hmm?


Great great game.

CariELF said it would take something like hundreds of hours of render time to make all of the angles for each ship

Maybe for GalCiv 2, but no joy for this one.

Oh well... I for one don't mind top down graphics all that much. The graphics for GalCiv have been complained about by reviewers since it's release, which I think is just insane! The graphics are great!!! Unfortunately these days a game is not considered "good" unless it's rendered in 3D and requires a 128 meg accelerator card

I just meant one angle ..instead of top down...
a certain angled view. fixed. a different perspective.
as in the ship always being viewed at angle 60 or something

Ahh... I got ya. You could just mirror the image if the ship was moving left or right (still need some kind of direction indicator).

Still a lot of renders tho'

Lets see 20 some ships times 5 major races & the minor race set... Someone would have to do over 100 renders!

Don't get me wrong - I think it would look cool! But it is a lot of work on the artist.
