[Inquisitor]

Someone out there has to have it, we saw some of it in http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,17416.0.html

What I want to do is p1mp this project outside the FS community. Bugs and all, this team has done some outstanding work.

IGC is just around the corner, I was planning on taking a build with me and showing off how smart you guys are. This embodies independent game development, IMHO.

So, what I need, before and after screenshots, and screenies of your favorite features in action (the first person to post a GPF gets smacked ).

Can we do it? Can we do it by October 9th?

If you're going to be pimping FS2, might I make some suggestions?

First, make sure you get before and after (the SCP) shots of as close to identical situations as you can get. This will really drive home the advances far more than just after shots.

I also think you should aim to get as many screenshots from mods and TCs as possible - show off TBP, the Inferno Fleet, the SW mod (someone will get the screenies for you I'm sure) etc. etc. Demonstrate what the rest of the community is doing while at the same time showing off the SCP.

Not sure if these'll fit into your overall plans, but I think they'd make nice pimp shots, especially some of Tomcats damn fine TBP ships, and Karmas SW texture jobs.

PIMPED IN SCI-FI MESHES

I pimped FS_Open to a site called geeksinbasements.com, but their email was fux0red. And I pimped at a SciFi Channel S:AAB message board, but I doubt that would have generated much interest...

Actually, this was a pretty pointless post.

You may need to get a video capture of the Electrobeams in action, dude.

[Styxx]

Yep, will do that - already asked about a way to do that, and will try it tomorrow or monday.

[KARMA]

may I suggest you to set up a screenshot quest?
all the submissions must be of 2 shots, one with the old fs2original, one with FSO, or single FSO shots.
The winners will be
1-who post the couple(s) of shots that highlight more the upgrades of FSO compared to fs2
and
2-who post the best FSO shot(s)
Evrybody can submit as much shots as they want
The ships shown can be the original fs2 ships or custom ships.
In my opinion original fs2 ships should be preferred to show the differences between fs2 and fso; when the custom ships (mods) should be used (since they have an higher pcount and make a more extensive use of fso possibilities) for the best FSO shots
Shots with custom ships will also be a good pubblicity for the SCP, the whole community (that can show skilled artists and many projects) and the single modding projects (therefore a link to the project homepage typed on the screenshots could be useful).
A brand new screenshots section both on hlp and freespace watch should be built for this purpose, so those who are going to pimp on external boards can point directly on those screenshots pages

has some nice piccies.

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Hmmm this is a great idea!

BTW deep_eyes I once pimped the SCP in lancers reactor and got a literal non result so I wouldn't be too hopeful, those guys are as diehard about Starlancer and Freelancer as we are about FS.
