You guys have posted some damn fine designs. Seriously. I've created $100,000 projects from designs that looked far worse then Rosens.

I would love to see any of those new designs in Beta (and eventually) in the game itself. Good job to all!

But enough ass kissing.

From my experience; a project will never get off the ground without a schedule. Unless you want the new interface to be nothing more then a fantasy then the following questions need to be answered:

When is the deadline for the contest?
When will a winner be selected?
Will it be coded? By whom?
When will we see it in beta?

It would really suck if you guys came up with a cool design and it never went any further.

As i told in announcement, The dead line wuz 19th of september

It will prolly be next week end as of now As i didn't had time to set hthings up!

The winner will be choosen by the community by a vote as i explained and Coders will code it after about a period of 2-3 m,onths..

Well actually they wont code the winner's design necessarly.. they will code a design that can have some ideas of multiple designs they liked or they can code it entirly with what the winner did.. It will be decided in time!

30 credits to the winner or 15 / 15 is CS and Login is different winners

This is excellent stuff - I think especially the spalsh page needs work.

I suck at webdesign but know a thing or two about makes webpages sell ...We really, really, really need to add some dynamic features to the frontpage. When you visit that page you need to be blown away by the fact that this game is played by thousands of people from all over the world.

One of the entries had a # players online thing - that's the kind of thing we need. Perhaps add a field where the lates news are shown - make it update even if the page isn't reloaded. So you sit there reading the page and boom player X dies in a game - "hmm maybe I should check this out..." Use the many stats we're already collecting and show people that we do cool stuff like planetary busts, spaceport rading etc...

I know we need to keep the pages simple, but try to show the life behind the splash page...

Total agreement mate. This would be excellent.
