  1. Apparently the actually shape varies some over the course of a year. The tilt of the earth contributes to the cycle to and from 24 hours of night/day the north/south poles experience over the year. Here's a better site, scroll down for a more science filled explanation. Change the date to one 6 months from now to see the tilt effect in action. Back on topic, personally I think it would feel more natural than the straight line and look nicer but then again Chris et al. are the ones designing the game so it's their call. Oh, and I'm not suggesting they worry about the earth wobble, just the curve... Unless they want to do earth wobble
  2. Is this the proper place for a geoscape suggestion or just city corrections? I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it and I didn't see it when i looked around but maybe the day/night cycle could be modified to be more like it should be on a flat map?
  3. I just had this happen as well. My Chinook was half way (after I waited for day) to the crash site when the site vanished and I got a "Crash Site 1 Has escaped to space" message.
  4. Glad you liked my icon idea Chris. My logic with the numbers on the right was that I am less concerned with a squad member who has 75% or 80% and more concerned with showing the left side of the bars which would be in the 20% range. That is assuming the left side left was less. Maybe a semi transparent number rather the the full solid number I showed in the mock up? Regarding AP reservation: How about some small toggle or button used for reserving AP for kneeling? I think TFTD or UFO had something similar. Then the slider takes care of the shot type and the button can deal with kneel reservation. Sorry if that's what someone else had proposed and I missed it.
  5. Late comment but I wanted to throw my vote in. Personally, I dislike the portraits and preferred the numbers from the previous UI, but I do think it would be nice to indicate soldier status (dead, wounded, etc) in some form. I did I quick mockup, maybe something like that and the numbers could change color to indicate dead etc. I also prefer NOT having a active minimap on the screen and like the simple map button.
