Hello actually i don't know if this is the right place to post my idea and i wanna excuse my bad english, because it's not my mother language and i'm still leraning it.

So now i come to my point, i think the Homepage doesn't look very good, actually i think it's discusting. These Pictures on the top haven't been chosen carefully, expecially the last picture with the asgard thor, you can count the pixels, that looks damn ugly, and it has been "skaliert" (don't know the english word for it so i try to descrpie what i mean), you made it bigger and didn't hold the proprtions.

Next i think, that wenn you log in, this bar at the top with the pictures should leave, they are iritating by playing.

I just started the game and i haven't seen much of it but i think it's very cool, so i hope you maybe change somehow the Homepage.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the homepage. I think it shouls stay as it is, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the picutres.

Flashy pages and high end graphics slow down the end result. I say leave it.

I think you didn'T get the point, these Graphics are irrelevant, i think they should go, or set better on the homepage, they are too big and using too much space. That looks bad and makes it very hard to find to the content.

btw dies navigation bar on the left, omg i don't know what i say about that, this frame for the background, kill it please, make a nice, one color Bar and it will look good and it will be effektive but this *Arg*

Next i want to say, chose ONE colour for the text and not 2 or more, this red colour at the Top it's bad, just bad, and don't underline the things, or when you have to, don't cross out think like you did with ever g, y and so on....

I just do these becaus i learn how to make a HP and what looks good, and actually i could take this site to show what you can do wrong by making an HP, so sry for the "attack on the HP" but i just want that the game goes forward and that it'll got a good look that brings new and more players to play :-)

But for Goa'ulds, the pic is alright...

I have to agree, I think the images should leave(or get some beter ones). I use to be a web designer(I still do some) and I prefer a nice clean look.

This is my webpage. http://users.iglide.net/tonnesenteam/home.html

I'm not saying it should look anything like that, I just think the home page should be a lot simpler.

I'm not complaining, I am just trying to help. And I am willing to give it a shot if help is needed. :D

Perhaps have a 4 pics that you rotate out of the diffrent races once a races has the most in the top 50 that races photo is up at the top right hand where you have sometimes

Hathors Tummy, Asguard, Gou'ld Snake. Have it for the bragging right of the race who has majority of the Galaxy in control. And gives more of a reason for attacking people of one race rather then whom ever has the most Naq. Though I'm sure the most Naq thing wont change nothing :p

I think that if anything changes we should just get rid of that picture...it might save a little time on load...it doesn't really matter to me...but that is my input...

i'm open to anything that improves things....
but....
I do not want to use pictures of actors (copyright), i do not want individuals because if we have 10,000 players, do we really want to stereotype them into one picture (ok -so i've done it already with asgard, but hey - 3/4 ain't bad....)
I like simple and clean -- I also like fast loading for everyone who does not have high speed net.....

and any help I will take on page design :) ... feel free to take my html/pics, make it better, and let me see what you can do :)

(I am much better at math and stats than graphic design....)

I have never seen that pic in my travels through Stragate fan sites or anything else...I wonder what it is and why it linked to the replicators...
