You were 1 starred by Thunderheart. I love how the developer's votes weigh more then a customer's vote. At 2 votes it was 1 star, I voted 5 stars to see if in fact it was a developer who 1 starred your post, and at 3 votes it still 1 star. I have seen and tested many posts, like this, something isn't right. This means that if the community were to be 100% behind someone, 1 developer can make it appear as though the community totally disagrees with, or does not support that person.
It takes a lot of votes to change a developers 1 star power. Wonderful isn't it.

.Frankly, I think the entire visual look of the game is completely antithetical to Star Wars, where even Lucas notes that he always wanted space to be a stark black and white environment that presented a harsh counter to the richness of the planetary scenes. I think putting rocket engines on TIE fighters -- something no other SW game, artwork, even third rate fan film has ever done -- is even worse.
That's my opinion, and I really don't care if they want to listen to it or not.
Though I love how a one line post that says "More stupid blue space" is "trolling" and a one like post of "You guys rock." isn't. You want productive posts, elicit real opinions on either side.

Well, if they want to delete my posts, as it seems they did, that's fine. Frankly I don't see the point of the whole "stars" popularity contest anyway. If they want to turn it into a referendum on the ideas contained within, thats fine. If they want to delete everything that isn't a "You guys PWNX0R!" post, thats fine too. It's their board.

But if space looked the same everwhere it would look boring and it would look ugly.
What is wrong with making space look nice as long as the game plays well and you need somthing other than spcae battles to look at with your yacht .

I won't get into whether the game plays well. However, "being Star Wars" is up there on the list of priorities. Frankly, if they had just given a couple of the "extreme" locations this treatment, fine. However, go back and watch even the re-re-re-edited ROTJ and tell me if space was blue around Endor.
As long as it looks like space who cares.
