This month's theme: Outnumbered. Give me a sense of dread, show me a lost cause that will still go down in history! One Sided battle of Endors! 'Splosions! Beams! Everything!
-
Oh this is gonna be fun :P, Shadow Genesis and Dusk Wars time!
-
Boop time!

Hmm, I actually might already have one screenshot handy at home. :) Will post next week once RL's crazyness settles down.
-
I'm already FREDing something up. :D
-
Isn't that the SJ Dante?

Wings of Dawn attachment.
I suggest when you get to this point in the game, you follow the advice of this Ork, and imagine it is speaking for the enemy:

I thought of this instantly on seeing the theme of the contest.

Looks like shivanised ACv Mochlos from ASW2
-
Well, it's far bigger than a corvette...
-
Betrayal is right, that's definitely a Mochlos. If it's bigger than a corvette, that means it's been rescaled.
-
:wtf: oh well, thanks for the explanation. :)
-
IMHO it's not acting well as shivan juggernaut or something, the same as shivan Akrotiri somebody posted some time ago.
-
Actually, it's just a perspective thing, seeing as I never resized it.
-
SO I SAW 12 answers and expected 12 pictures.
I am disappoint.
(and now 13!)

... I've lost :lol:
-
ahahahahaha
-
It's magnificent though, it's supposed to be the juggernauts taking out the Capella sun, right?
If it wasn't so good, I'd pick holes in it for a supernova having nothing to do with being outnumbered :lol:
Anyway, Axem said he wanted to feel dread, and this is the ultimate expression of naked Shivan power, so I'm fine with that. Thinking outside the box. If anyone thinks they can top it, I'm looking forward to seeing their attempts! :)
-
the star is sure as hell out numbered lol
-
I really do love that picture.
I just had to go to the link:
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/517/aprilscreencapcontest.png
And grab the full size one for my own picture collection. Wonderful work.
EDIT: It occurs to me I've never looked at a Sathanas from the back before.
-
But it does have something to do with being outnumbered. This is the culmination of the entire FS2 story where the GTA is so completely outnumbered and outgunned that they destroy entire nodes just to survive! So this screenshot is more subtle than perhaps what most people thought of for the topic. It gives the sense of dread and, in a round about way, it reminds you just how many Saths the Shivans have since they even sacrifice a few to destroy a star.
And just to be clear, this is an in-game screenshot. No post production was done on it at all. I kept the mod pack in case I have to prove it.
-
Psh, what a Shivan-centric way of thinking. Those Hydrogen and Helium atoms outnumber those Saths 10 trillion billion kajillion:1.
-
Also, why for did the January contest winner get posted to the Wiki but February and March got the shaft? :( Scroll to the bottom-ish. (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Screenshots)
-
Cause people are lazy.
It's a wiki. That means you can also do it.
Unless you're lazy.
-
Though I don't think I'll be able to top the Sathanas spam, I can at the least throw something in.
I do recall that there was a script or something dedicated to taking screenshots in which camera movement was freed and mission-time was nearly frozen. Does anybody else remember this and/or have it, or am I just imagining things? :nervous:

Actually, because people go away to work for weeks at a time and the wiki doesn't seem to like the satellite internet conenction out there, and then people go away overseas and have more interesting things to do. :p
I'll sort it out tonight.
-
It's faster to just say "lazy".

Credit to kara for breaking FSO once upon a time and taking pics.

I'd almost forgotten about doing that. :D
EDIT : Here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=35794.0)'s the original thread.
-
Mjn, is it me, or is the subspace warp in your pic different from the normal one (other than in colour)? If so, which one are you using?
-
It's a special custom effect I whipped up for the shot.
-
Can haz? :D
-
From that thread, I'm going to submit this pic.

Yeah, I'm trying to win the competition with an 8 year old screenshot. :p
-

It's not exactly useful, ATM. It's just a still texture with transparency pasted on a box ship model. However, Axem also asked for it. So I told him if he figures out a way to place the effect as an 'effect' and not a 'ship' then I'll finish it up, all animated and everything.

Excuse me, are you referring to a specific event with this "Dekker Effort Award"?
-
Nope! T'was merely a joke aimed at a picture with a certain amount of effort that could be considered Dekkerian.
I don't really want to make it a thing, as people would just try to make really bad pics and win that award instead.
