Poor Graphics?

Post by Nikek Notlad » Fri, 9. Apr 04, 12:54

Maybe I've been playing Eve-online for too long or my expectations are too high - but the graphics are very poor?

My hud displays remind me of the old CGA type :cry: graphical display and the sectors feel like small goldfish bowls (very crowded and cramped). The text at stations is huge and I can only view 3 or 4 sectors at a time in the universe map (in xtension u could zoom in and out)

Am I doing something wrong?. My card is the Rad 9700 and I am using 1200x1600 32 mode.

Graphics are good, the interface isn't great... Home and End zoom in and out though.
