How about instead of the same loading screens all the time, when you are transporting from your ship on to a planet or station you actually see the transporter matter beam all over your screen and the background transforming from 1 location to another? dont know if im explaining that well but for example:
If your on your ship beaming on to a station, it quickly shows you stepping on the transporter, the entire screen starts to 'beam' and the background screen changes from your ships transporter to the stations transporter.
Just trying to think how they could make it seem less like a loading screen. At least if they did something like that it would be in line with the show and still allow them to keep loading screens effectively
Fix the loading times. Then people will be clamouring for the artwork instead of being bored by it
Waaay too many times in this game where one is stuck looking at some (admittedly fairly nice at first) static artwork and NOT actually playing the game. I wait 10 mins to get into Sol, then a further 5 to get into Earth Space Dock. Great gaming experience - not.
Lost count of the number of times I have dropped and reconnected to get around the fact I appear to have stalled. Currently waiting for Sirius Sector Block to load btw :rolleyes:
Funny how, when calling a game Star Trek Online, nobody thought perhaps there would be high demand for it and put performance first.
As for deliberately planning certain game mechanics only at certain places (Space Dock, Memory Alpha) what WERE Cryptic thinking?
