| Quote (SpaceEngineer) When the panel is hidden, follow, speed and time information are typed in the left bottom corner of the screen, just like in 0.95.
If that is the case, than hidding completly is the right way.
Btw good job 
Realno...

| SpaceEngineer nice choice, but what do you think about deep space background with some stars, and white titles?
Main menu is too candy i think. Not looking bad now, dont get me wrong, i just want to share my opinion;]
And yea, navigation panels are nice.

| I think it would look really classy to have a number of pre-selected "scenic" backgrounds for the main menu, except they're actually rendered in engine and blurred out. (various star or planetary systems or whatever that are somewhat low-budget computation-wise) Perhaps the focal point blur can shift between completely in focus and not in focus depending on the menu item depth or something.
I suppose very similar to the way Valve renders the main menu pages for Half Life 2 (and episodes), or portal.
The scene is slightly accelerated in time so there's some movement as well. I think it would project a feeling of depth and apprehensiveness and excitement about whats to come when you pick an option.
The font is nice but looks a little to battlestar galactica for my tastes. I would be more interested in a more classic sans serif font of some kind.

| Will you be able to select a planetary object within a system that has moons and generate a view (with F2) similar to the system view, if it had moons for example?

| You know what I think would make a very nice background for the menu? Earth slowly rotating, a bit like in Civilization IV's main menu (that's got to be the most gorgeous menu a game's ever had). 1000x speedup seems like a good speed to use if you did that.

| This main menu looks amazing!
I'm curious about Planetarium, Multiplayer and Editor. Can you give us a brief explanation about them before the release, SpaceEngineer?

| Planetarium - is simply SpaceEngine as it is now. Single Player - is the game with ships. Don't expect anything in Multiplayer for now. Editor has for now a planet editing GUI for exporting of scripts/textures/sky boxes menu.

| Interesting... Any chances of upgrading the editor in future releases?
I mean, choosing the number of stars in a system, then the star class, then the temperature/diameter (limited by the possible variations in the selected star class), then start creating planets and selecting distance, planet class, gravity/diameter, distance from the star, and whatever it takes to make unique planets. I don't mean importing custom textures, but having complete freedom to change parameters of everything, without disrespecting physical laws, of course.
I think it'll help creating good planetary systems without having to do it all in a notepad

| I have added supporting of clipboard - now any input field supports copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) hotkeys. So to find the planet whose name has been shared on the forum, just copy it from your browser (Ctrl-C) and paste it in the Search-by-name menu (Ctrl-V).
A small question: is that hotkey combinations valid for non-English users? Or must I make them configurable like other control keys?
Also I have added buttons "Copy" and "Paste" in the Locations menu. Now, to share your location on the forum, you do not need to open the config, just click the "Copy" button, and the code location will be copied to the clipboard, then paste it into a message at the forum. Conversely, to add a location from the forum, select the location code, copy it to clipboard (Ctrl-C) and press the "Paste" button in the Locations menu.

| Great, that will be a lot easier than having to manually type names over :D. Ctrl+c and v work on Dutch computers at least.

As long as there are GUI buttons then it is not really necessary to make them configurable, at least in my opinion.
But my opinion does not matter so much since I have an English keyboard

I mean the edit form in F3 menu and many other forms - rename location in F6 menu, edit slider value in planet editor, etc.

I am getting confused. Are you talking about making the copy/paste hotkeys configurable? Because if there are going to be GUI buttons for copy/paste in the F3/F6/etc. forms like as shown in the screenshot, then it will not make much difference whether copy and paste are configurable.
But I guess if it is not too difficult then keys should always be configurable.
