Pretty cool. It sort of felt like a mini movie pimp.

Cool, did that look like the Vasari Starbase was jumping into a grav well??? At the beginning. Or was it just zooming closer to it?

I try to during a battle. Makes for some great movie clips and/or screenshots. But I play on slow speeds...soooo....

That may explain why the explosions sound off to people. I'm pretty sure they get louder if you're zoomed in on them.

I'm pretty sure it was just zooming in closer, because otherwise it'd have a blue flare of hyper space travel or whatever around it.  Really there isn't a difference from a camura's point of view though (a model becoming closer to the screen I mean)

Yeah, the shining thing to it's right (medical direction ) is a whormwhole which also gets closer.
