I noticed that I see the "loading..." screen a lot and I was thinking it would be more immersive if a wormhole/hyperspace jump animation played instead of a static screen with a load bar. I'm sure you all know what I am referring to... Can't an animation or cut scene be implemented and have the sector load in the background? The scene could reflect the load bar by changing color or by the use of some other effect...

I understand that not everyone has a high-end machine capable of doing this, so maybe this could be set as a game option for those who have machines which are fully capable.

At the very least, it could be cool if "Loading..." was replaced with "Traveling..."

I say make it look like the animation for the stargate, you see a faster then light animation while your "loading…"

I would like this too...

Something different, at least... half of the time, I can't even read the text on the loading screen because it goes by so fast.

or a computer display kinda graphic in black and green where you see your ship as a wireframe passing through a wormhole tube wireframe, with the message, passing through wormhole, with some numbers and stuff around it or something.

If this were implemented there should be a way to toggle it off. Loading a sector and running an animation at the same time may seriously tax some computers and slow things down.

Yeah, I was thinking about stargate as well... I think it needs to be more of a seamless transition. Maybe lose the 3rd person perspective of the ship entering the wormhole altogether?

I like that! I'd rather hit "jump" and then be pushed forward and see stars streak and a hole open then the 3rd person view of it, personally.

I'd rather see the whole thing in first-person. Both wormholes and sector jumping.

kinda like hyperspace in Star Wars, just different so Guild doesn't get sued.
