:hopping:I'm sick of having to use a weapon to see what it does/what power it has, could we have an update to the weapon screen?  I hate the prity spining weapon ani, I want STATS show me it's ROF it's avrage size, it's DMG and flags I want to know what I'm sticking in my ship and trusting the life of me, my squad, my carrior, any ships I'm escorting, and my Race.  :hopping: (allways wanted to use that smilie)  any way we could replace the ani window with some sort of translator showing usfull stats, perhaps with a bar graph or some thing...  I mean like dmg, the multiplyers, energy use, round size, ROF, and perhaps flags.  thanks for hearing me out, and sorry about the rant, but I've died from this before, and I take that personaly.

Mad? Oh yes quite mad.

 
uhm, might be a good idea.

shouldn't be too hard either, as far as i can see as a non coder.

Credits go to Setehk for the pic and font style, I just changed what the text said. I didn't get his permission on this mostly becuase he's away, but also becuase I just made it for my amusement and not for release. Anyways, heres goes.



edit: I put this into FS2, and as a Main Hall, it looks really nice. Really nice. Really nice.

Why didn't Inferno use this for their main screen because the one they have stinks.

Agreed - the original interface is, for me, a big part of what makes FreeSpace FreeSpace. Seems to me that the simple system Venom has in mind would work good.

Hey, that's looking good, Rictor. :nod:
