I just noticed, from this angle, that the front of the Titan looks like a helmet with raised visor. Unrelated, felt like sharing. Or a shark lacking a lower jaw. Stil unrelated. Or a Collector. I'm stopping.

That is definitely a very nice photo of both destroyers, Darius. What somewhat rustles my jimmies is the incomplete clearing of the warp effect by the Titan, but it's only minor. The Erebus' bloom around the end of the ship is eye candy. They'd both look quite menacing were you a UEF vessel just happening to stand in front of them as they jumped in.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

I'd like it a lot more if it wasn't too dark

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

This is more of a general TEI question rather than applying to the Titan that's currently being discussed, but:

Are there any pictures out there of Vasudan TEI (BP era) ships?

Not that I know of. Unless I'm completely misremembering, the Vasudans don't have a TEI-equivalent; instead, they focused more on incremental upgrades to their existing fleet (that being said, there are some new ship classes, but we haven't seen them; if you read the techroom entries for Vasudan warships, you can find references on some of them to either modernized variants of FS2-era ships, or brand-new ship classes). It seems unlikely, in my personal opinion, that we'll see shiny new Zod warships before BP3.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

TEI is Tev only. The Zods have new toys (for which the game assets haven't been selected/completed yet, which is why we have nothing to show), but the fleet organization is vastly different and doesn't follow the same tiers as the Tevs and their TEI.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

And it doesn't reinforce the narrative metaphor of the nurturing maternal Temeraire and the distant paternal Orestes at all!

Is there a Freudian in the house? Your gonna diiiiiig this!


Do love that image though; the PBR makes ships look glorious (didn't realise they had integrated it at first and was really confused when everything suddenly looked different in a new nightly :lol:).

What do you mean that Terran and Vasudan BP fleet organizations are different?

He means that Vasudans don't (necessarily) use Battlegroups or deploy their organizational structure along cruiser/corvette division lines with a pair of Destroyers acting as battlegroup/squadron CIC, reserve, and breakthrough assets.

There's the fleet/medjai distinction too. History is full of interesting examples of what happens when you split your military from your palace guard.
