Title: Search for the best FS2 shot ever. Image heavy.
Post by: Fineus on January 11, 2002, 02:02:00 am
This isn't so much a contest as something I just want to do for fun. I'd like everyone to post their favourite FS1/2 picture in this thread (maximum of 2 per person please). Then we'll work out what the best FS2 shot of all time is.

I'll start  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/devil.gif)

 

 

Kudos to Sandwich for the planet and Carl for the NewFX graphics pack.

I don't take too many screenshots... don't have any on hand yet, anyway.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Alrighty then:

I (usually) hate scripted beam fights, don't you? Anyways, Numero Uno is a lovely screenshot of me testing out the GVCa Amaunet against an Orion. IIRC, I had the Amaunet throw out one 3-ship bomber wing at the Orion to help out. She is a carrier, after all. Anyways, the Orion destroyed the Amaunet first, but the Amaunet got in one last shot in her death throes and got the Orion.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

   

In this second screenie, I was messing around with the tables - namely, the max speed setting.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) As you can tell from the distances on the HUD, I was going quite fast. Anyways, I got it in my head to try and match speeds with my primary weapons, so after a bit of power juggling I was able to find a speed that was a tiny bit slower than my shots.

Final result was that all the lasers in the screenie came from my ship.   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I like this one, it's impressive:
   
too bad there's no nebulae visible behind the ship, would have be neat.

I've got about 50 shots of a wing of ..errr...."modified" Ursas taking out a Lucifer with their BFreds. There's a big pretty explosion and lots of wingmen flashing red they hollow red. Hehehe. I'll post the best ones once I get my server working properly.
