| Hi,
New here, dedicated to 3D interaction. I'm using passive polarized twin projector setup with huge screen.
My observations:
- when video resolution is entered directly into the cfg file, it's not read back and shown by SE user interface (in Display config),
- 1280x720x50Hz selectable from SE UI pop-down menu is actually 60Hz when selected
- the middle 3D setup parameter (stereobase or so) is static, so no way to find a value good for both planet and galaxy type objects.
When 3E21 used for galaxy, or 1E18 for a globular cluser is used to goto a Saturn, the planet is actually invisible, as it stays between 'the eyes'. My conclusion - this parameter should be dynamical for object size (or something like that). In other words - 3D here is too real - so Universe is flat as sky to human eye. To make it exciting You need a F/X 3D attitude - variable base for different objects.
And a question, if I may - how can I make autopilot landings slower ? Preferably configurable speed.
Cheeres!

| Weird suggestion, I know but:
Adding a voice for the spaceships would be pretty cool. Something that announced locations, planet / star classes and such.
Currently travelling at 237 parsecs a second, destination 237 Centius, time until arrival: 2 MINUTES, 15 SECONDS.
Could be implemented with a TTS + some vocoding. I'm sure there are some APIs avaliable for doing this, even a voice bank could be used.

| Dear friends, Dear SpaceEngineer,
(translated from french)
I had this on my heart since a few long years now, and I woke up this morning, and I imagined myself that I had won millions at some random lottery lol. It's been a whole year now since I haven't played any video games because since I know SE I find them all way too small lol  And since I'm a 40 years old dumb kid, I would gladly pay a million dollars for this game if I could!!
So let's say I would be committed to entirely fund your project, in exchange of the possibility to make my own game out of it after, starting up my own studio with some friends I know that I would rip out of Ubisoft lol
It's just rambling I know, I know...
But meanwhile, I would gladly help you out with your project, but I'm only a building inspector who knows nothing about computing and I still have to pay my taxes lol
Nonetheless, here's what my million dollars dream Space Engine's base MMO would be, please tell me if there's things in there that are not at all possible to do with this program!
Enjoy the dream!
SPACE ENGINE BASED MMO
HISTORY CONTEXT
Thousands of years has passed since Earth was invaded and the human race reduced to slavery
by the (Let's say Reptilians, but insert name here) and their (Grey) allies.
But one day, the (Felins), coming from the center of the galaxy, made contact with humans
and offered humanity their help, their science, and technology to defeat the invaders.
With the help of the (Felins), Humans defeated the (Reptilians) and wiped them out of the
now shattered, plundered, over exploited Earth. At the end of the war, Men used (Felin) technology
to explore the galaxy for a new planet, as everyone thought that the enemy had been destroyed.
But the horrible truth is that the enemy is alive and well, dominating over a large part of the
galaxy enslaving all other sentient species they can find.
And then starts the ultimate war for the survival of the human race. Are humans going to get over
their sworn enemy, so dominant in the galaxy?
Which race, from the 6 known intelligent race will become the dominant life form of the galaxy?
