I'd like to first of all congratulate the JTL team on making such a obscenely good looking game, especially the ship models and the explosions, I love em! Not to mention the wonderful animated settings!! Stellar, good job!


However, everything else is at such a high standard that there are2 things that stand out like a sore thumb, and inexplicably get on my nerves everytime I go into space.


1) The missile locking & locked SFX are the worst ive ever heard in any game, ever, not only are they highly irritating, but so similar that ina chaotic combat situation its very hard to tell when you actually have a lock on and I find myself hammering the missile fire button constantly as I will have no clue when to shoot myself and this is the only way to do it? What was wrong with the way other star wars or space games portray this? or even flight sims with their steady tones.


2) Engine glows, they look great on the B-Wing, and pretty appropriate on TIE-Fighters, but the rest? and especially larger ships just dont seem to exist at all. Engine trails, would bea pleasent addition to this too to allow ships to be seen a bit further away, I'm not saying I'll go bannanas if they aren't but some nice glowy engine effects really need to appear especially on larger ships such as the YT-1300 or the Decimator as they look like they just have a lamp behind a pain of frosted glass powering them.


Anyway, thats me spent. Congratulations on a great game! I look forward to seeing more content!


Thanks!

Be glad some ships do have engine glow. My B-Wing's engines look like they're off. It's just a white bar with a light blue outline.
