Jonny Hagendorf Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 63	Posted - 2012.07.13 14:29:00 - [1] - Quote I know we are in the beta phase and the devs have other problems but there is one idea for the future. Please put some info windows in the loading screen, about the EVE universe, the factions, the corps, weapons, latest news, etc. I love the art style of Eve / Dust and I want to see and know more about it. Sure, the controll setting is important, but there is enough space for more. At the moment its just boring. The "push-start-screen" has such a great atmosphere. Put that also in the loading screens.

GM Unicorn 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Empire 467	Posted - 2012.07.13 15:43:00 - [2] - Quote I like this idea. Some tips, hints or facts will be nice while waiting. I'll flag this thread as +FAV for sure

Dro2072 Doomheim 35	Posted - 2012.07.13 16:00:00 - [3] - Quote on that note please dont make it the same 10 things rotating thers alot more than just, R1 to fire and L1 to aim or hold R2 to pull up the weapon wheel. make it useful information please or history and lots of it.

Maximus Stryker Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 393	Posted - 2012.07.13 18:00:00 - [6] - Quote great idea!

Bo Tracta Celtic Anarchy 56	Posted - 2012.07.13 18:32:00 - [8] - Quote +1 to this idea, loading screens should always be used for something useful like back-story snippets, or in this case fitting tips which could be quite useful.
Zarkn Frood Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 15	Posted - 2012.07.13 18:42:00 - [9] - Quote Lol - i thought this the last time I played too. Akin to an interactive news paper we might see in the DUST/EVE universe. +1 - CCP please do not make it static fake rotating information. It needs to come alive and be auto updating or not be done at all. like stock tickers. Know the status of the universe as its loading. get side tracked in geek news if the player wishes. it could be very engaging, if the processing power is available during those main loads.

Fobhopper Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 11	Posted - 2012.07.13 20:47:00 - [11] - Quote Of course also having something like concept art on the side of the info text would be pretty cool, and help players feel more immersed in history and story of the game. The control scheme can always just be put in the bottom left of the screen to mirror the loading circles while we can still read some story or background details in between frags
Kitt 514 Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 94	Posted - 2012.07.13 21:30:00 - [12] - Quote The eve universe has enough lore and backstory, that you could have literally thousands of these. I know a lot of games that do this, have like 2 dozen, and then they get un-interesting after the first week of gameplay. Instead of using dev hours, perhaps its something that interstellar correspondents or eve uni could do? I'm sure they would love that.
Jonny Hagendorf Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 63	Posted - 2012.07.14 06:50:00 - [13] - Quote -A ground-theme-picture in the backround for each map. -something where I can click through. different windows. With different topics (permanent and changing) gimme something to do while waiting. Just a few clicks. For example here you can also use the analog stick in the same way as in the fitting screen. To choose one topic and to enlarge it. Or just click X-button. The player have the opportunity to flip through a variety of pictures (2 or 3) as he wants. So I can choose every laoding session another topic. -SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -is it possible to make the sound transition of the loading screen (before and after the game) more softer??????????????? Thats a problem of many multiplayer games on ps3. -some special mercs advertisements for the products in the market-place, or merc-coke, sometting like on the screen in the merc-room

Yorran Storm Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.07.15 19:32:00 - [15] - Quote good idea o7
Hammer Of Heaven Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.07.15 21:15:00 - [16] - Quote I agree. There are a few things that can be done to make a Dust player feel like they are part of a bigger universe. Maybe something could be linked into the Eveisreal community content site. Like have player made artwork from that site be streamed to the load screens. That would really give a sense that the dust player is part of something bigger, and that something bigger is affected by what they do. Another idea is to have some info about eve online streamed onto the MQ screens from eve. Like the Sov changes etc... While it might not be that interesting in and of itself, it would add immersion to the game.
Dragon Grace Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 15	Posted - 2012.07.16 00:52:00 - [17] - Quote why not a live stream from eve around the planet that you are about to jump onto? kinda like the intermission stream on the alliance tournament....but for the relevant planet (of course when the game goes live....there will be a lot of feeds needed cos their is LOTS OF PLANETS!) it would be pretty :) an option in the options (yes...thats funny) would be needed to chose the bandwidth limit of the stream. HD and SD version for people with slow and fast internet. the stream would last.....about 5 seconds? something like that. or perhaps have a 5 second clip recorded from each planets orbit every hour. that same scene would be played for that hour until the next hour....where it gets updated. realtime all the time would be good if the network or whatever can give it though :D that would get your pumped for the battle also. imagine all of the ships! dreads, battleship, fighting around in orbit. perhaps firing on the planet. i mean imagine...your match is loading, you see the space war going on and you realise "im part of this!" or maybe a zoomed in, colour coded version of the relevant part of the starmap....colours showing concentration of conflicts, ownership of territory. kinda give the troops a sense of scale to the size of the conflict they are contributing too. OR BOTH! :D at different times of course. mix it up a little :D it would get me more immersed and pumped for the battle for sure :D not sure if that made "perfect" sense...but i hope you see what i mean :D what better way to show the amazing accomplishment that merging of these two massive games is :)
Nick Phantom Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 91	Posted - 2012.07.18 02:08:00 - [18] - Quote I think keeping it simple with the loading screens is a wise move. Maybe a slideshow as your loading. Showing some Dust514 screenshots and some Eve Online screenshots with some info at the bottom. One thing I would like to see when connecting would be two frigates fighting or something else out in space fighting. As you get closer to being connected to the servers their shields and armor get lower. When it's connected one of them blows up and you move on to the next screen.
Laurent Cazaderon Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 1155	Posted - 2012.07.18 07:57:00 - [19] - Quote Very usefull idea ! To be honest i thought CCP already had that in mind and that it wasnt in at the moment as it doesnt seem to be a priority. But now that i see you guys didnt think of it. I'm actually a bit disappointed by you
VigSniper101 204	Posted - 2012.07.18 17:29:00 - [20] - Quote Gets my vote, especially for us non-EVE players...a little lore to brighten our minds.
