A bug or...? (Not a bug)

Post by Chaky »

Look at the screens below:

See anything odd?

Clue: look at the font size of that "Bounty hunter"

When I get extremely close (actually, passing really close on starboard side) the font increases. If this is a bug, don't fix it! It is a cool feature really, and the only bug here is that it doesn't increase proportionally to targeting rectangle.

In that case, it should increase allot sooner. I have to practically piggy-back ride the ship in front of me to see the increase.

It would add to the feeling of distance.

It is fine the way it is now. It is more related to the field of view and less to the distance. To see what I mean compare how a planet looks when in the center of the screen and how it looks when at the edges.
