Map loading screens
BTAxis:
As far as I know, loading screens are not related to the maps that are being loaded. As such, they should be generic.
Also, here's a little snippet of IRC discussion which might be helpful:
--- Quote ---[16:51:39] <@Zenerka> Did you played Warhammer40k: Dawn of War/Winter Assault/Dark Crusade?
[16:52:54] <@Zenerka> The loading screen there is divided into three fields: 1) up there is a rendered picture of models in fight 2) in the middle there is a list of players and teams in case of multiplayer games 3) at the bottom there is small loading bar
[16:53:19] <@Zenerka> if we would use that and replace 2) with mission brief plus scrollbar, it would be perfect loading screen _for me_ ;)

Sweet, now I have an idea of the layout and flavor for the loading screen. Any chance of Hi-res models to put on it?
RaXaR:
Here's a quicky, personally I don't like the look much but I thought I'd post it anyway and see what you guys think :) There's a 40px black border at the top and bottom and I left a bit of space in the middle for a panel later on.
Laters.

How do those things even fly? There's not enough material there to catch air for aerodynamics, and there's no thrusters underneath to counter gravitational forces. Drop like rocks, they would, hmmm, yes?
Pretty picture otherwise, even if it does go with the 'mass invasion' theme.

Strings, duh.
I agree with Wanderer. It may not be representative of the scale of the invasion, but it's easy on the eyes.
