Suggestion to improve Cinematic mode.

from Sins Forums
Sometimes i like to just watch the replays of battles to admire the artwork of Sins. However with the current cinematic mode. As good as it is. There are a few things that bug me.

When ships move, or attack it still shows those pulsing red, or blue travel lines. Is there a need for that in a cinematic view?

Can we turn off all the planet icons as well as the other icons? Nothing ruins a perfectly good screenshot like a wall of half faded planet icons in the background.

A "rewind" or reverse time function. So you can jump back and repeat that brilliant moment

While i know this isnt as important as balancing and gameplay. This is one of those "Nice to have" things

Any other suggestions?

The rewind is not going to happen for technical reasons. It would be a tremendous amount of work on their part (trust me, I asked over a year ago ). But Blair did suggest that you could potentially bump back and forth on savepoints...

Beyond that, I notice that when you press ctrl+shift+z to make the UI go away, the little red orbs from the Akkan's targeting ability remain which can really mess up screen shots as well. Haven't checked to see if those are still there in cinematic mode or not.

They do remain, and they also remain (along with the planet icons) when you ctrl+shift+z. Good point wedge I forgot about that target reticle.
