That's neither a bug nor a problem at all. Just run it in "windowed mode" and the game will continue right along while you do whatever else. That's the ONLY way I play it.

Right here is where I stop taking you seriously.

Also, consider saving stuff up and doing ONE post after a while, not constantly spamming this thread.

And its a joke. What would you want to go to first person on? Planets? Ships?

It'd require the invention of brand new UIs, and provide nothing you can't already do.

I can't see why this couldn't be done for ships and ground troops.
a. The battles are now real time.
b. The game uses a 3d engine.

You could take control of the fleet leader and all other ships revert to AI control until you move back to 3rd person.

I loved that aspect of the dungeon keeper series - one of my all-time favourite games (Wish it worked on XP). I'm surprised other games haven't taken the 3rd to 1st model up.)

hmm, i realy can´t see why you should wish to go to 1st person. your point of view wouldn´t let you see enough to controll your ship correct. and the detail of the ships isn´t good enough to be such a nice view at close range so it wouldn´t even look nice.

also this is a strategy game so normaly the player want´s to see what all his units do and if somewhere something goes wrong.

just my point of view.

Granted, it would take a lot of work to implement. I was more defending the idea rather than endorsing it. The impact it had in the Dungeon Keeper series was great. In 3rd person mode you set grand strategy and then in 1st person mode you added impact and finesse to the strategy. Ahhh, memories

The thing is, you're already commanding the ship in question... other than a UI change, what would you get from it other than having to spend a lot of time programming and debugging the UI shift?

In order for an idea to be taken seriously, you have to be able to defend it. Thats why I always attack so hard, even when I think the idea is a basicly sound one. By defending your idea, you develop and explain it far better.

Not your forums, not your product, but apparently your call to end the dicussion? Interesting viewpoint.

Communication is making sure your point is understood. If they don't understand, you are more at fault than they are for giving up, no matter how close minded you think they are. Closure on both sides says "understanding is irrelevant, just do it". Not a good position to take when trying to convince the developers you have valid points.

Especially when a lot of those points are subjective and already being disagreed with.

I'd advise people to not post in this thread so it dies a slow death and let the "owner" rant and rave all on his own...

We have lost contact with kingdom come...

Only the Awkward question; only the Foolish ask twice

The first person mode in dungeon keeper is not completely for looks, it allows you to group and control your units better. Putting it in SEV wouldn't serve any strategic purpose and would make it more difficult to control other ships in combat.

Get hold of a copy of Starfury.

and support calls for a new version of starfury based on SEV.

That said sorry I have to agree with others I don't really see the need or have the want to add this to SEV, yes it might be a cool add-on, but there are far more important things that need doing and once they are sorted so much else that I feel will add more to the game (there will always be improvements to be made to the AI).

Oh and will you stop trolling, all Kingdom has done is suggested something he would like to see added to the game. His opinion is as valid as anyone elses, if you don't agree with it fine say so but just loose the abuse.

I'd like to apologize a little on my own part... coming in and calling it a joke the way I did was a little harsh.

That said, the idea wasn't given enough detail to explain itself as to how it could possibly have been helpful past a detailess "The idea behind going from 3rd person to 1st person is to shift the gameplay and provide new content for the player." And then turning around and saying "Besides that, what credibility do you have to question what has already been successfully employed in the past?" is ridiculous for what should be obvious reasons: SEV isn't Dungeon Keeper (which I've never even heard of) and what was said provided no improment past "wouldn't it be cool!" which is NOT a valid reason to add something into a game (that way lies Moo3).

I don't mean to call you an idiot or anything, but has your race been able to breath the atmosphere? I haven't noticed this issue with any planets.
