Yes, I tried changing the names... No Joy... Wouldn't be bad if they weren't so longwinded. How about it Mr. Developer, Any way to actually disable these monotonous game startup sequences?

Space bar works too.

P.S. Now I know this game is really great when people are asking developer to replace the start up movie because they are too lazy to press a button

LOL, Thanks. I'm so used to <Esc>aping from most game intros that I usually don't think of clicking the mouse until there is something to actually click on.

Status: offline 		Geez, going by u hater's logic. I might as well leave the Galactopedia popup on startup too. Why not add more clicks before getting to the load game screen? Or does your opinion change on that option? FYI - the 2 second video only took me like 2 mins to make and replace in the Movie subfolder! So I like it that way, its just a preference. And since I had the ability why not do it?

I don't think Hector was trying to be nasty. Besides, isn't clicking a mouse button always easier than editing / replacing a movie? I think so.

Do you mind uploading this 2second movie? Those game intros are quite annoying and its a shame some cant be replaced.
