For an intro, how about something similar to that Eldar site with the intro? All that b/w artwork, runes, accompanied by music. Was pretty damn cool.
And of course, I feel that the menu should start showing the galaxy map and then zooming up on the Anargo sector, to give a sense of direction. If you start by just showing the Anargo map, I feel that people will go 'Ehh... and this is... where?'

Wheres that space scene from just for reference? Looks cool. -nathan- I forget where exactly, but it's probably from a screenshot I took when I was beta testing EvE Online...

I actually think that with a couple of modifications this would really be perfect.

Cool, though to, playing that game atm, it rocks serious booty Anyways, yeah the idea of zooming in from the galaxy would be great, if not a little difficult. Like they did in 'Firewarrior'. Maybee some simple BW drawrings like Cells said of lifestyle or simelar when you get to the front page, so a few imperial citizens and soldiers etc. -nathan-

Actually, I don't think the 'zoom' idea should be too difficult. We just zoom in on where we want the Anargo sector, preferably some kind of bright cluster of stars. Fade to white, and fade to the Anargo map. Of course, if no one knows how to zoom using flash, it's going to be difficult.

The zooming in idea sounds like a good one, and would probably be fairly easy to do in Flash.
How about making the Sector map into an interface of sorts? Click on a subsector to go to that area sorta thing...

I think everyone agreed on the map-thing. Anyway, I've started a thread in the website forum for discussing this and other features of the website. Let's not commit the heresy of going OffT So are any of the artists up for designing the Anargo crest? Should we decide on a motif for this perhaps? The Imperial eagle should play a definite part. Perhaps the logo of the custodes as well, since they played a part in freeing the sector. If there is a custodes logo... I would suggest that the Space Marines who conquered the galaxy in the name of the Imperium should get their symbol on the crest, but if we're going with a pre-heresy Traitor legion, this might not be appropriate ;D What about colours? If Minister has decided on the Anargo Navy's colours, we might consider using these, or a variation of these.
