Monthly Website Update
Posted on 03 Oct 2013 @ 11:27pm by Rear Admiral Lirha Saalm
We have some major updates to our website which have taken place over the past two months. I'd like to thank our CEO, Brent, for his amazing help and dedication to helping improve our gaming experience. I've been collaborating with him for a while now, and we now have some nifty features not found on any other sim on the internet.
First, our general skin has undergone a revamp with some new color highlights on our navbar links. New images have also been added to the login/logout pages. Most importantly, our main sub-navigation now has the added features of displaying both our current mission status as well as our starship status. I am able to update each of these fields in real-time as we log our posts and advance the story, and they're located in easily accessible areas of the website. When in doubt, just give them a quick look to get the most up-to-date info regarding our mission and ship. Links have also been added to the appropriate areas to streamline our massive website's navigation.
Next, after much contemplation and deliberation (including consulting various members of our sim and listening to the recent feedback I've been getting) I've decided that we will in fact be upgrading to Nova 2 in the near future. I had been a bit hesitant about some of the features and didn't want to undertake the huge task of upgrading our website, but I now feel that the pros will outweigh the cons....hopefully ;) So, a new Nova 2 skin is in the works which should revolutionize our game even further and take us to the next level. I will keep you all updated on that front as Brent and I make progress with the development.
Lastly and most importantly, here's a rundown of all of our new and updated website pages. Please take a moment to read through all of the changes listed below and to also view and understand our added content.
