Ok to those who ARE interested... I'd like to ask what division you would like HLP to fall under:

Science
Military
Trade
Security
Datamining
Exploration



Those are the choices I believe. There might be a miscallaneous option as well, that lets you do any and all... not exactly sure how it works. I sent in an app for a corporation now though.

My vote would go to Military, Hard Light Productions just seems to fit into the military sense well in my opinion. Wouldn't fit in the others very well.

Your thoughts?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

I'd say Exploration or Military... more action that way ;7

'bout the site, the little dashed section under the navbar is kinda useless right now (purely for decoration) so I think I'll make a small text version of the navbar under the "real" navbar so people using text-only browsers can actually use the site.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I find that I consistently have to try loading the link twice before it will load - on the 2nd time it loads quite fine, though.

About the design: I really like it, with one or two points that could be improved:

- Too many colors; the intense blue in the top-right, or the nicer (IMHO) grayish-green of the page bottom, but not both. :) Also, there's a bunch of different colors you use for text... try and lower it to two or three colors.
- I like the HLP graphic you made, especially the contrast between the logo's red theme and the blue glow you gacve it - nice touch. But  try to include something that indicates that this is not THE Hard Light Productions... ;) Also with the top graphic, I'd recommend making it less wide, and moving the nebula further to the left. That way you can place a repeating background image of plain stars in the header section, with no discernable break between the header pic and the BG.

But all in all, quite nice. :) (Grids are Cool)

Thanks for the reply sandwich... I'll try and change the top graphic to coincide with a color change


Anyway, I think I got the load problem fixed, so it _should_ load on the first time now...

http://hardlight.zapto.org/

Now, anyone else interested?

And, just curious, does anyone know of a good _free_(unless someone else wants to pay) PHP host, that has FTP access? Would be very useful as I can not leave my computer on 24/7 7 days a week...

And, if anyone in beta has an extra beta invite or 2, I could really use one... I've already signed up, but I doubt I'll get in, unless through 'darker' means :p

Punctuation is hip.

Heh didn't even know i got a reply till now.

Anyway, I should have warned you before(thought i did...). People with ADD(attention deficit disorder) will NOT be able to stand this game.

Everyone these days are soooo used to fast-paced, get to lvl 20 in 2 days type bull****.

This game is based on reality in the future... economy is mostly playerrun atm, it takes awhile to get anywhere in progress. I personally started about a week and a half ago in beta, and I already have a Cruiser and medium lasers/projectiles. Why? Corporations! Corporations help players out enormously. Its just the way things work.

Heh, I played 4 months(3 months and 2 weeks actually) and got FA... then it got boring quick... so thats why I quit DarkSpace.

At least in EVE, teamwork is mandatory basically.

[edit] and btw, the nature of EVE itself repulses the kind of people that like to cause a lot of trouble. soo... the community is actually quite nice. Don't have people swearing left and right and all that other crap that most communities spit out in your face.[/edit]
