Star Wars: Interregnum is an upcoming mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion that builds off of the highly successful Enhanced 4X Mod. Fleeing the unknown terror that is chasing the Vasari, the factions of Sins of a Solar Empire stumble on a temporary wormhole that takes them to a galaxy far, far away. The sudden arrival of armadas with trillions of refugees and thousands of warships between the events of Episodes 5 & 6 forever alters the Star Wars universe and plunges the galaxy into an unprecedented period of chaos and violence. Begun, a new conflict has.

Description
Inspired by several other mods with awesome main menu screens, I figured Interregnum would need one as well. This was my first attempt at making one, what do you think?
It's Perfect!
I think that it is very good attempt/success at a main menu screen, good job!
It would look more intimitating, in my opinion, if you were looking at the SD from below, instead of above (so it looks bigger)
(Kinda like how the Episode 4 starts with the ISD chasing the rebel ship)
That would be awesome, but sadly the game only lets you rotate around the ship in the main menu, not look under it. I suppose I could rotate the model but you could tell it was sideways. :p
Damn the game and its limitations! :P
I think it turns around so it doesn't show the rear all the time. What other ships does it show during this main screen.
In my honest opinion. I like this, but I always missed the view on an entire fleet in orbit. Imaging in this case an executor guided by 5-10 star destroyers above coruscant. Showing the might of the empire. Something like this: Xwaupgrade.com. or 31.media.tumblr.com
Just the view on the titan alone is something I never really enjoyed on the vanilla and mod games.
But if you compare it with the other games, this look sweet. I know you also mean what you did with the hud. It's nice but what if it was put on the right side? Cus now you have a small gap in the center showing the ship. Knowing the camera will always center the moest important object and the fact you have a smaller window in the center.
Currently the Executor, ISD-I, Vindicator (pictured), Strike Cruiser, VSD-II and Carrack Cruiser. Some of these will be replaced with Rebel units once they are added.
Sadly the spawning location of these ships are totally random, nor will they shoot at each other. I came really close to getting an EaW style main menu with ships attacking each other in the background, but I guess the game just won't allow it. :-(
I toyed around with the menu on the sides but the game centers the main menu area so that resolutions greater than the minimum have extra space on all sides. This sadly both limited the size of the "gap" and made it impossible for the menu to go directly on any edge.
Well now that I've seen the main title I have to say I love the new hud!
Reminds me Empire at war , perfect
Looks good.
I wish that this game allowed battles at the main menu like EAW does. I sit at the main menu and watch the lasershow and battle for hours....
Imo, You have too many horizontal elements. Takes away from the view in the center of the screen.
