SE5 Space Background Poll

[President_Elect_Shang]

This is something I have been wondering about for a while now. I have a personal motive for asking this but will refrain on the why until later.

[Randallw]

Didn't know you could turn it off.

[Atrocities]

Never occurred to me to turn it off.

[Captain Kwok]

I have my own star field I like to use, but unfortunately it doesn't mesh well with some of the other background skybox images.

[Slick]

I turn it off when looking for asteroids to make into planets. I find it much harder to see asteroids with the background on due to preferring the top-down view zoomed out to see the whole system. (CTRL-S) gives you a quick scan of the system.

I like it on because... because.... well i like it

It looks pretty

[DeadZone]

I like it personally, I think it just looks bland with it off
Off course, I cant wait until someone starts throwing some more backgrounds out there for us to use in Mods http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I like it off. The background gets in the way. It's not really that bad, though, so I could go either way.

What IS bad, though, is the background in combat. That is something I wish I could turn off, but alas, I have not been able to figure out how.

[Ed Kolis]

I don't mind the combat background, but the stupid blue grid keeps coming back every turn no matter how many times I turn it off!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

recolor it to black

[Caduceus]

Or bright pink. Your brain will learn to "see" around it after two or three hundred hours.
