Great sidebar graphic!

Up for grabs!

I had some freetime so I put together a Sigma Shipyards sidebar. I don't have time to make a plugin out of it, so I'm releasing it to the general public. Here's a little preview:

Anyway, just post if you want it or PM me and I'll send it to you. Now I must force myself to get work done on Nebula: D.O.A. I want to debug mission bits... I love to debug mission bits... I will hum rhythmically while debugging mission bits... hmmm hmmm hmmm...

Nice! I can't use it, but nice anyway.

Hmm, it's nice looking too, though I suggest you might want to put a big "M" in the bottom part of the interface

An M? Whatever for?

The Capital "Sigma" looks like an "M" turned on its side. That's probably what he's getting at.

What do you mean by "the capitol sigma"?

Do you mean the Epsilon sign? I think that's just the on the Epsilon class shuttle.

The capital greek letter 'sigma' is the Sigma Shipyards logo and is seen on the side of their Shuttles: Σ
(that's not epsilon)

That looks alright, but maybe you should make it look like it's engraved and it looks like it's in a font called Times New Roman, which looks like this.

Just puttin' forward ideas here.

I can't decide. They both look so good... :unsure:

Times you want, Times you get:

I prefer that last one.

Well it isn't Time New Roman but it is a serif font. It's difficult to find a serif font which makes it symmetrical though. Are you on a Mac? Try a font called Batang. And make it dark blue.

Actually it is Times New Roman, I just did some custom aging and messed around with the layer mask.

That latest display looks awesome. I think you've got a winner here, CN. Good work!

Bah, if only it was for more general use...

Sorry, I meant the font used in Nova is not Times New Roman. I don't doubt that you used Times New Roman in your pic

I would suggest removing the "Sigma Shipyards" bit. It doesn't seem to look right.

Hmm, I think the Sigma letter should be a bit bigger and dominate most of the bottom part somehow.

Ok. I'll see what I can do. I would like to at least have a Sigma Shipyards bit somewhere, but I agree with you 100%.

∑ Enlargement is on it's way!
