I think it was a cool idea. But I actually thought, when I saw it executed in D3, it cheapened the game a little. Random graphics spewed on ships doesn't look good IMHO. And to add to that, it was almost pointless since you couldn't see the graphics on the ship unless they weren't moving. I think a ...

I found that when I take screenshots, they come out all black. I see nothing. Load 'em into photoshop and change the levels - nothing. Pure blackness. And, when I'm in a game, and press ESC or F2 or try to bring up any of the menus, nothing shows up and the screen starts displaying this halo effect....

UPDATE: The DMDB is near complete. Just have to polish off a few detail pages (mission editing once it's uploaded, mission removal, ratings, and all the other non-essential pages like about,links, etc).

All the hard stuff is done though, which is good. So you can expect to start using it very soon.

From the early Bible record, we learn that it was not God's purpose for people to suffer or to die. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, died only because they disobeyed God.

How it differs is in the fact that it removes all the fluff that is associated with posting in the forums.
