    The new loginscreem. I wish that's what the Sol system looked like.

    You need more systems where a planet is used as the "floor".

    lol We need more content and we get a wallpaper instead. :rolleyes:

    While it does look nice all I have to say: Priorities! Please!

    More content very soon. You are loosing paying costumers and they are giving STO bad press and a bad rep.

    KDF? What is that? :p

    On a serious note. KDF needs some love. I can't believe I just said that. I'm more of a FED player.

    ZOMG!!!! A new wallpaper that most likely took some artist 10 minutes to put together. So much development time wasted!!! :)

    One more wallpaper for my collection of rotating collection of STO wallpapers. Although this is so beautifull that I'm almost disableing the slideshow feature on windows to let this stay alone.

    Also, C'mon guys. This is not the place to complain about the lack of content. I'm also frustrated by blog 23, and also I agree that they should give a bit more atenttion for KDF (well, I could actually make a huge list of things I'm unhappy on the game). But I think this is not the place. There is another threads to complain. So congrats for the dev (or devs) who made this wallpaper and thanks for the awesome wallpaper.

    Guys,

    This really is pretty simple. The person who designed the new login screen took a few minutes to create a new desktop background for you, because he felt you might enjoy it. I took it, and scaled it down to a slightly smaller size to provide another option for you, and posted it.

    This comes from someone spending a few extra minutes of his day to try and do something nice for you all, and passing it along to me.

    It's not like a programmer, or a systems designer, who has a hobby of making wallpapers and taking screenshots, dropped everything he's doing to bring you new content, and spent several hours to make you a wallpaper instead.

    One, single person, who was already creating this image, spent a few extra minutes, to try and do something nice for you. Maybe, just maybe, instead of jumping all over his case for doing something nice for you, you could say thanks, or at least have the decency to say nothing at all if you find a simple wallpaper being made so insulting.

    It's just a thought.

    Why are people yelling about priorities? A graphic artist would have made this up who I doubt would have anything to do with content creation.

    It is all part of upping the quality in every area of the game. Or perhaps everyone from cryptics accountant to marketing assistants should be working on content otherwise they have there priorities wrong!

    It is very nice, although it is probably not going to replace my Hubble photo of the Horsehead nebula.

    Unlike most wallpaper, it is actually the screen resolution of my main monitor, which is kind of nice but kind of sad, because it is hard to find 23/24" monitors with 1200 lines anymore. They are almost all 1080. I hope I get a few more years of life out of this one. I do not want to go down in resolution and I do not want to shell out over a grand for one of those high resolution 30" monitors, nice as they are.

    I for one would like to say thank you. It's lovely.

    I don't see why people should or would be complaining, it's really quite stupid.


    These little touches are really nice, and to me at least, remind me that cryptic care about us, and like giving their customers as much as they can.

    Thanks :)

    I do like the wallpaper, very nice. Mind if I make it a wallpaper for my phone?

    And to all the people freaking out, do you guys know it probably took him even less than a few minutes to just Rescale and SaveAs in Photoshop?

    Thanks for the wall paper.

    And guys I know we're all mad about the current state of affairs but try to not attack at every turn. Otherwise the Devs will start to ignore you.

    Was this screenie taken using in-game props? If so, what are the chances of adjusting ESD (especially the model of Earth) to look more like this? I wish I could take a pic of my ship with this backdrop.

    More cloud cover, larger sphere to give a closer orbit, etc.
