What do you guys think of the Astro Empires graphics update?

I personally think its AMAZING! before I thought Astro Empires looked really good, but with this update, I'm at a bit of a loss for words. Planets look like ones worthy of Halo Reach's game engine and theres much more that blew the mind.

What do you guys think of Astro Empire's new look?

tl;dr

I like it.

Tyrant. You're not supposed to pay so much attention to Bruskie's morale ambivalence... you are supposed to be the grounded one!

When I logged in and saw that Blue Nova was switched to being the default one, I went to Display and switched back to Deep Space.
I'm used to that skin as it was the default when I started playing, and the Blue Nova stretches things a bit too much, anyways.

Insert witty expression that no one cares about here.
I blame Hamps..

I play with AE Original because it's easier on my video card.

As for my opinion on the new skin, I'd prefer to get ease of use updates and forget about the new skins and 3d models.

I've seen a rich man beg; I've seen a good man sin; I've seen a tough man cry.
I've sen a loser win and a sad man grin; I've heard an honest man lie.

Blue Nova looks fine to me, and it's nice to see some graphics of the various structures and units. That being said, I still prefer the AE original, so I'll probably switch back shortly.

Eternity is a very long time. Especially near the end...

Why doesn't it surprise me that someone with an elite for an avatar and as part of his name compares this game to Halo...

Same. I haven't even seen what it looks like short of the homepage.

I quite liked it. But I find the AE Original much more relaxing.

Many things changed these days, huh?
