The navigation portion of it. Stars and warp routes are awfully pixelated and don't really match the sharpness and clarity of the reworked UI. For a long time I've wanted a better representation of most of it (including fleets.) The planetary system map still looks pretty decent, but I think the overall picture of the sector looks pretty shabby. It was fine when the game first showed its face, but it's come a long way since then in pretty much every other department.

As for a specific feature request: mouse over tool tips for each system in the sector.

Eh, some DF around wouldn't really hurt, usually /tg/ understands an Imperial Fuckton of vidya memes. 1d4chan is actually a pretty good place for le 40k maymays, implying someone doesn't know better.

There's not a problem that people don't understand it. But understanding doesn't always entail enjoyment. I know what comprises feces, and yet I still prefer not to use it as decoration.

if only you guys knew how many memes are in the code. Theres memes in this game from the code on up. Literally everywhere...

I'm not entirely certain you know what a meme is then.

This game was supposed to be maymay from start.

The original thread wasn't really intended to refer to a real game. But Chaptermaster, the game, was always intended to be an actual real playable non-shit game.

I don't really see anything inadequate about the current look. The stars look as much like stars as they can and still stick out against the backdrop. The warp lanes are lines. Ships, it would be nice if they varied according to race I suppose. And the backdrop is bland. But if you're having major pixelation issues, it probably means that your resolution is off; the game should render natively 1-1 by default.

Got a massive headache from cleaning code up and ended the day.

I'm surprised you didn't get a stroke instead.

Inadequate? No. It's functional. It's just butt ugly. I'm not having major pixelation issues. It just doesn't look good at any resolution. When I look at the CM sector map, it makes me think of Master of Orion. That's how retro it seems to me, and it could look a lot nicer. I ask all this not knowing what Journier's art skills are like. But Duke managed to take the UI in general up several notches in quality, I think the same could be done for the sector map. As I said, after the UI upgrade the difference between the two in terms of aesthetics and quality is pretty big.

Is that supposed to be an insult?

No? It's a comparison of fidelity.

/tg/ seems to have gotten word of Journier's work here, so there's a nice ego boost.
Or, possibly, way more pressure. Which is bad.

[Journier]

they will never find me. muahaha.

also, can we keep the fighting down a bit its just a game nothing to get upset or bothered by. Lets all relax here.

I demand an "ARE YOU SURE" button when initiating fleet battles. I doomed my chapter so many times its silly (Winning vs IG is impossibro)

I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to dare second guess the CHAPTER MASTER. There are drawbacks to being a big badass leader. One of them is no one asks for confirmation on your orders.

A confirmation button is practically heresy.

[Egan_BW]

Have buttons for yes/no as well as a checkbox to have the confirmation window executed.

Next they'll be wanting to vet out all their ideas through collaborative committees before issuing any orders suggestions to the chapter.

friggin' elves.

[Kot]

Yes this, please.
