Click for biggy.

Came up with this after some REM last night. What do you folks think of the general color scheme and theme?

I think the background and interface shape could be more stylized, forming itself into rhomboid overlapping plates and making uneven joint lines, like this:

is this just gfx or are there any code changes?

[Black Wolf]

You need to alter the foreground stuff as well I think. The colours don't go well together.

Looks pretty good so far.  An interface like this would be handy for a campaign where you play as mercs/pirates or are based out of a small outpost in the middle of nowhere.

[Unknown Target]

I still think a HLP campaign would be fun.

[Col. Fishguts]

At first glance it looks like some overtiled 256-color bitmap, sorry.

Only after a few seconds I saw what it is supposed to be. HLP logo is nice though.

Now all we need is some duct tape and we've got the perfect interface for Derelict.

[kasperl]

The BG is too tiled, IMHO.

[Kie99]

That looks awesome.

Good work; keep it up.

If we get a new custom interface, we're one step closer* to being able to release, legally, entirely standalone campaigns.

*in the sense it becomes a shedload easier.  Obviously the likes of TBP, etc, will address this themselves as a matter of necessity.

The background is a rusted piece of a particular type of steel plating. It's not tiled. That's what that stuff actually looks like.

[Solatar]

I love it.

[BlackDove]

Looks kickass to me, leave it as it is.

[MetalDestroyer]

It's pretty good. Why don't you make a 3D interface ^^

[Dark RevenantX]

2 things:  A ship made of iron?  Oxygen in space?

[CaptJosh]

A) It's steel, and steel can rust, too.

B) Oxygen is in the ship's atmosphere, as is moisture

C) Therefore, things can still rust when you're in space.

[WMCoolmon]

Well, on fighters, yes, on capships I wouldn't be surprised if only certain portions rusted (near exhaust vents and such) while the rest of the ship was free of it, since you generally want your ship's atmosphere inside the ship rather than blowing around outside of it.

[StratComm]

Who said anything about steel in the interface being on the outside of a ship?

[CaptJosh]

Strat, my thoughts exactly. An interface panel for a pilot roster is going to be INSIDE, where things could rust if not taken care of. Not everyone has the unobtanium they use to make walls out of in Star Trek and other shows where rust is never seen.
