Yes, I think this way. I just copy-pasted information from the old site.

Not so great as yours

It's possible, but if it's necessary.

- to have an exhaust plume coming from the cobra on the front page (shame we can't see that pic on all the pages). Perhaps also some "fierce energy fire" mirroring Drew's text?
Showing Griff's Cobra I meant it as example one of possible images, maybe represented more artistically.
There is opportunity to show any different nice oolite objects. (Maybe randomly on every visit)
As a variant I planned to make a more detailed scene of space fighting.

just copy-past for the oolite.org

Initially I also thought to put the Cobra up, but then the navigation will be at the foot of the page and maybe out of range.

Can we place a short reference near the ship, describing illustration? Like a " *Cobra MK3 from Griff's OXP " etc. ?
I think it won't be unfair to others OXPs, I hope everyone believes that it's real masterpiece, showing real possibilities of the game (my own experience shows me that original "nude" ships may scare a novice )

I remember what you meant
But I got carried away by navigation and forgot to change "px" to "em" .
Ahruman wrote: The navigation jumps around when the scroll bar is hidden or shown (notably, when switching to the Gallery page). This is a general problem with right-aligned stuff; the current site “fixes” it with overflow-y: scroll; on the <html> element.
OK, thanks
Ahruman wrote:In Safari, at least, there seems to be a misalignment between the default and highlighted versions of the navigation background images. I can provide screen shots if you need them.
It's very very strange.
Before to show the site, I tested it in Opera, Firefox, IE7, IE8, Chrome, Safari 4 (on PC).
Share you screenshots and tell me resolution of your screen, please. .
This should not happen, because the blocks have absolute positioning.
Did anybody else test it on Mac in Safari?
By the way if I designed the site for myself I would use flash menu, because it's reliable, easier and more impressive. But I've prefered more democratic way for the present.

OK, it is logical.
Ahruman wrote:It’d be nice if the topmost gallery was expanded when you went to the gallery page.
OK

Would it be completely and utterly self serving of me to request a 'Novella' link as part of the navigation, or should I just be statisfied with the quote on the page (looks very good btw)?
Sure, the content has shown conditionally. All the details need to edit.

It all really depends on the kind of function you want this page to have really. Now all we have to do is make the wiki look more like a tec manual and we'll be open for business.
The main thing I wanted to show you is the new look at the navigation and the fact that we needn't reinvent the wheel. My project - it is actually the same as oolite.org, but slightly improved. IMHO simple scandinavian design is the best design
Usually making up of content it's enough to do a looking good page.

It's for fast example
