It needed smoother transitions. That second fade doesn't look as good as I'd like, but the devs could tweak it to make it look better. Maybe make the fade faster What do you think?
I assume the thing you changed is the fade, since I only have a Floran character. But yes, the fade-into being on the ship seems like an excellent, smooth transition, rather than the abrupt "oh, here we are again."
The second fade going right into the game is brilliant. I like it. (I push esc every single time anyway now though). EDIT: Speaking of which, maybe pressing esc should simply speed up the animation?
Thanks guys! I think the second fade would have looked much better if the character had been clothed and equipped with their current item during the black screen, so it looks like only the black background fades out and reveals the surrounding environment.
