Way back when, i was allways a fan with the option to turn widescreen on or off. I allways had it on, & i wasnt the only one. So i was gutted when they removed this feature.

Did anyone else have this enabled & would want it brought back? Would the developers even consider bringing it back? I cant remember why it got took out. It was too long ago.

So please show your support by liking the thread!

Bring back WIDESCREEN!!!

I think some people placed windows over those bars to make the text easier to read however I wouldn't know. hello

I lol'd. I got a 23" widescreen, but yes, i was on about the black bars. Reading locked targets my ships U.I seemed so much clearer to read.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I bought one of them DVD movies the other day and it said that it was widescreen. I didnt know what that was and after asking the guy several questions at the store I decided to get it. Now I have to figure out how to hook up the CD player to the TV so I can watch it. My Grandson Jimmy is comin over later and perhaps he can figure the thing out. I remember when I was a kid I used to know some things that my grandparents didnt know or understand but now ah days it seems that everything new has some kind of internets or wefe or is wireless and I can never figure out how they work. I remember when I was a kid there were things that I knew that my grandparents didnt know... Yesterde I put up a new bird feeder that's supposed to keep out the squirrels... I hope it works better then the last one I had.

It was removed under the excuse of "It is too hard to maintain", but many believe it was to break mining bots. Mining bots adapted in two days, the rest of us get to suffer eye strain.

Still fail to see what it was that was hard to maintain. & glaring nebulae is a problem. Certain situations, i cant even tell if my modules are even on! Never had this problem on the black background. It needs looking at again i think.
