    After watching the video I must say THIS is what I was thinking about when someone said Star Trek.

    It's even cooler when you play the game: stars grow and shrink as you approach and depart them, warp startrails fly by, you can toggle the removal of virtually all astrometrics stuff (on the fly!)

    Great stuff and I didn't even show you guys all the sectors! :D

    First impressions I LOVE IT...

    1 Space feels HUGE
    2 Love the transitions of the stars to planets upon approach
    3 Warp feels like warp with the moving star field
    4 I like it when you hover your mouse over a system the pop up box comes up with a brief description
    5 Love the toggle for the astrometrics view to normal space

    Excellent job sir's /salute

    Devs, you have done an outstanding job with sector space. Hats off. It feels like space now. I can't wait to see it on holodeck.

    Cryptic, give these guys a huge Christmas bonus...

    Cannot wait until I'm done patching. I have seen a couple of people who have been largely critical going gaga over the new sector space. That in itself makes me go "Iwannasee!!!" :)

    My exact quote. Right before I painfully forced myself off tribble to spread the word to my fleetmates to get on there!

    For those who don't know what he's talking about:

    HOLY TRIBBLE!! I am so disabling Astrometrics! Did the graphics team do a 2 week EVE Online trial because man sector space look sgorgeous in that Youtube video (Man I still have 53% left on thre download of the Tribble Patch).

    This is going to make playing the final featured episodehard tomorrow as - if it wasn' for that episode going Live, I think I'll be on Tribble for the duration until Season 3 hits the Holodeck server. Again, looks AWESOME!

    Is sector space travel actually faster, or is this some kind of illusion generated from the combination of the star lines and the lack of reference points that the older, heavy astrometics displays provided? Because it seems faster... :confused:

    It's strange because the movement seems faster to me as well, but at the same time the sectors feel much larger.

    Excellent work on this revamp. It looks glorious :)

    It's part optical and part secret sauce... ;)

    Good-bye boxes - hello awesome!

    Credit to the dev who "fixed" sector space. They definitely deserve a cookie, i don't really want to go back to live right now >.>

    That is amazing. I know I complain about this game a lot, but damn, that is fantastic. I don't think there are enough positive things to say about how great that looks compared to the old Sector Space.

    There are some tweaks I think could still be made, but because of how awesome that is I don't even want to bother.

    Oh! I didn't even see that the first time. The systems have little blurbs about them as you go by?! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Cryptic. Thank you so much. Somebody give the people who worked on this a raise.

    with THESE improvements, now I feel like the devs could pull off warp travel from the bridge and make it LOOK GOOD. but of course that is further on down the road.

    That, that, that, that and that is what I expected to see the first time I fired up the game! Great work guys!!!

    :D

    On the planet details section it would be neat if there was a list of races one can encounter in instances for it as well as any potential mission one could get and for what level.

    Animated video would be nice but that polish that can come at a later date to be sure.

    Define animated video. You mean the bridge viewscreen?

    I'm not sure I get what you mean...

    The planet info screen that pops up should be animated methinks. Look at the video at 23 seconds (for the first one). The image is static.

    Perhaps an animation of the main planet spinning, or a fly-thru of the system, in the "big" info window?

    Might be a little too resource intensive for every planet, some of the major ones might be cool, though.
