At least you made me laugh..imagine a day messing with that thing then thinking...wtf, why am i doing this? This is not modding, this is work ego has not done and honestly it is somehow offensive how lazy the whole design is.
I own all their games, bought some twice. I spent months of my life modding x2-3/tc ap fl, Rebirth.. now x4...you know, there are things that I did not like but they were decently conceived to start with.
X3 had lowres everywhere but its design was very good, so one can mod it...but here?
Here we have a good tech, capable of great visual effects and a visual design that seems made by a drunken man to ruin it. It is not only Windfall, it's ugly things everywhere that are the result of a lazy hand not tech limitation.
This is beyond the aim of my efforts. Visuals are not the game, but bad visuals ruin every game and a nice illusion of space should be the base of every space game.
Edit: to be constructive, I will gladly go back to help make this game great when ego eventually releases any decent modding tool to modify layouts, shaders, etc inside the game, a proper editor. Otherwise everything is too much time consuming. One can do it for some parts but when it is so many then it is demoralizing. Imagine f.i. that I have to load the game after every parameter I change in planet's shader, to see the effect. Every single one...this is ages consuming
I invite you to take a look at the galaxy design and visuals I made for x3 fl ( see signature). Despite its limitation, x3 shines there. X4 has a tech largely more capable. So if you guys are too busy (this game is complex we know) please release the tools to help us improving the visuals and layout of galaxy/sectors that (at least by my view) are very rushed. I'll gladly do my part.
