I just find it funny how the planets orbit the wrong way in this game. I have to keep thinking I am looking from the bottom other wise, I get screwed up lol. I am just wundering if anyone else noticed this too.

Also: It's worth pointing out: in DW, a player doesn't 'own' a whole star system, only planet by planet. So, humans may own Earth, but the Naaxillians can come in and colonize Mars. DW is very different from other 4x games in this respect, AFAIK.

That's about right. Ships run from about 60 px to 350 px (for the largest station). <br/>

I am an avid space genera gamer, and so far there is only one game that i can say is truly amazing, from the initial wow factor to the depth of gameplay, and everything else in between. Alpha Centauri.

You know, I think that someone has actually made some nato-style chits already. (I don't actually remember) You might check the download area. 

<r> ... But if you go in there, there are a number of different downloads, including the font one, the maps, etc.<br/>

<r> Er, just to clarify what Z is saying: for some reason the caption for the CoG:EE category of downloads says 'Alternate Tahoma Font'. <br/>

Anyway, enjoy! Let us know which one you like most!

<r> And a closeup of 11_02 <br/>
This one is sort of a 'canvas' look. <br/>

<r> And here is a closeup of 11_01:<br/>
As you can see, it's less smooth than the standard CoG:EE map.<br/>

<r> So, we made some alternate map art and put them in the members area. (I think Erik posted about this earlier, but it was easy to miss.) These are just slightly different looks for the main map appearance, that we thought you all might enjoy. <br/>

They're called 'CoG MAP filter 11_01.zip ...

Thanks for your kind words Vaalen! Glad you're having a good time with CoG:EE.

Actually, what we probably need is a better microphone and bunch of sound insulation. (That might be a good idea anyway, for the 'man cave'.)
