It looks cool, but I really don't think the loading screen is going to be shown for long enough for people to enjoy much of it, particularly if the current work towards more aggressive resource prefetching while you're sat in the lobby bears fruit: that looks set to shave a couple more seconds off of the load time, meaning this'd be a lot of work that'd just never get seen :/

Hey,

Depending on your LUA/game code knowledge, this would not be hard to add, actually 3hr job code wise (only because the map preview & placement isnt straight forward) + x amount of time to accumilate the quotes, the map description "should" be ready made and obtainable, pffft.

wish id have thought of this 18 months ago... good job

i think its a great idea, you could add plenty of useful map/quote info...

just do it anyway sound/solid idea pal... dont even add a option to disable it... it should be standard 5 stars...

Although your main point was the off switch, this comment has made me realize we can make my changes more immersive. Visually, the images should appear as a tactical overlay in a heads up display. The information on statistics could come from the "Galactic Military Compendium". Tips would not be from other players but other commanders, and would be relayed as a communication via the "Cybran Intelligence Council" or something.

Option to turn it off sounds good.

I don't like it, unless you have an option to turn it off. :D

Personally, I think the current loading screen makes the game more immersive, as if your are traveling through the quantum tunnel in your ACU, waiting to arrive at the battlefield.

But the points raised by others about fast loading times are more valid. Unless you test a lot of mods or have a slow hard drive, most people won't be able to appreciate your work. D:

Funny thing is I see the screen a fair bit too because of Australian connection times! Oh and Brazil...

As much as I like the idea, I'm not sure if I will get anything out of it since loading usually only takes a few seconds for me oO

I should also say that was my first draft at a mockup. Things would improve as the content types evolved & as people suggested better ways of displaying info
