OrphanMaker Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I liked the old solar map better. It reminded me of something like Prometheus ship star map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waftycrank Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 the new star map is at least one level of abstraction too far it's simply too hard to use and the player has lost so much at-a-glance information, if not outright lost information, that fiddling around with icon sizes and planet labels isn't going to make it fit for purpose say what you like about the old star map but it was at least fit for purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyDragon Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The new star chart isn't really a star chart. Its a mission select screen that could be on anything, anywhere. The radial menu is functionally lacking. There isn't any clarity on where to go next often. Seems the devs thought it fine to have players just learn by memory. Gone is the immersive sense of scale and distance (as well as a good at a glance difficulty rating) of planets.. Which is odd, since you know, this was all for immersion.
