Angled View vs. Top View : The Vote

30 degree angled

Angled. It's more 3d like and let's you shaw the ships small features better.

------------------

Top down.
They should keep EV:N consistent with EV and EV:O. I'm sure angled can be very nice, but then do it in another game - oh wait they're doing it anyway...

Can i change my vote? go for 45ş if it's a TC or an addon to a TC, but otherwise, use birdseye (top down). I used to be Andrew M, btw.

When they took the 2nd amendment, I was silent because I didn't own guns.
When they took the 4th amendment, I was silent because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the 5th amendment, I was silent because I was innocent.
Now they've taken the 1st amendment, and I can say nothing about it.

Top down! Oh wait, I already voted, didn't I; two months ago! Who brought this topic back?!

Hmm... but maybe if I don't tell them I voted before my vote will count twice... 😉

Top down.

Top Down

Because the ships look out of place when they are angled. Everything is top down and your ship is the only one that sticks out and oh well TOP DOWN......... anyway

------------------
Dead or alive I'm getting out one way.

Top down

...unless you know what you're doing. If you angle too much, you can't steer a ship, and if its angled too little, then no one will notice. I don't think angling worked in Frozen Heart, despite its greatness. The angling in EVN is nice, tho.

ANGLED ANGLED ANGLED ANGLED ANGLED! (That's for my friend, my other friend, me, myself, and I.) What are you people, crazy? ANGLED RULES!

------------------

Top down. EV/O was not designed with true 3D in mind. Angled ships look stupid in the engine. I hope EV:N changes that, though.

Angled can be fun, but I say top down. My top down arada is the best ship in the crescent.

Angled, I like it so much I made a TC plug-in just for that. I can't believe I actually revived this old topic out on a whim.

Come on, you should know better than to pull up old topics for no reason whatsoever. Topic locked.
