When we scan for planets or when we click on the name of a planet (not the planets tab, they already are small pictures there for a good reason, no need to scale them in that view) Can the planet reflect its size? I dono its just an immersion thing for me I would like to see anyone else have the same thought? |

The lag is a client-side issue. Adding in any more information won't slow it down further. |

More information to load would of course slow it down further. Clearly not everyone would have the same trouble, but from my perspective it's a -1. |

A single line of text, maybe 25 characters at most will make no noticeable difference whatsoever. |

Vanir wrote: Can the planet reflect its size? It's not just a line of text, it's an altering of the planet image. If the planet reflects it's size, then there's an additional process to scale the image based on its size. Again -1. |

I do understand. See: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_img_width.asp All the server would need to do would be to calculate an appropriate height/width and add the following, with different values, of course: Code: height="42" width="42" |

As Dexter has explained, the extra information would be next to nothing. It's going to affect your loading time by a fraction of a percent, at best. |
