I checked out your site a bit and I really like your ships- in particular the simple elegance of the Flytail and (at the other end of the spectrum) the harsh-angled and techy Zheng he. A lot of the other stuff is neat as well, and I think I even spotted a hand weapon that I thought I had come up with first (wah!)

Your storylines are well done, too, and it is always fun to read the backstories for the ships. And having names that are grounded in history is a great touch.

There are a couple of things I didn’t like about the site, though. The drag and drop feature for images in the galleries is really painful. It takes two to three clicks to see an image, and without any navigation feedback it is hard to tell if you are waiting for an image or if you misclicked on something. Also, the gallery for the Zheng he has so many images in a single vertical line that the page expands to well over the height of most screens. In itself, that’s fine- but since the text is vertically centered in the same space and you haven’t specified image sizes for the pics, it moves as each image comes in, scrolling partly off the bottom of the screen (and I run at pretty high resolution). People tend to read the text while they wait for images to come in, and this makes that particularly difficult.

Thanx for the praise on the ships and you’re spot on with the remarks about the site. When I finish the job I’m doing right now (I am LUGNETting in office time!) I should really do something about the lousy scripting.
