I'll see if i can send in a review or 2 to one of gaming magazines in here. Perhaps if i send a pic in of an episode with SCP and the 32bit Textures, it might help...

Make the colossus look cool? If you can do that you can do anything. :)

actually I disagree
I would avoid to pimp fso using shots of models built for a 5 years old engine. At least the original models could be useful to show the differences between fso and fs2.
I'd rather use some mods, maybe from tbp, or I would wait for the first models built for the HT&L system to be released (and I know there are many in progress)

But i dont have any of the models, so :p about that.
Seriously tho, I prefer the FS2 vanilla ships- especially the fighters when it comes to close up shots.
These ships have and will be the mainstay of the Freespace campaign, and are a part of what everyone has played in FS2 till today. They may not be super-cool as Inferno or other mods, but at least they'll be around as long as Freespace is :nod:

then again I raise my propose of a screenshots quest, or alternatively a screenshot project.
I mean to select a group of people with a good hardware that will take many shots (and will continue to do so as new features are implemented), with these objectives:
1-show the differences between fs2 and fso using standard fs2 ships
2-show the artwork of the best mods using FSO
3-show the full potential of FSO using mods specifically built to use FSO at its limits
These shots could be used as a base to pimp FSO in the other communits and in the magazines, because I'm sorry but you will NEVER get the right attention if you don't show your best, and models of about 400 polys will cause only ironical laughs instead of curiosity.
The pimping activity that I've seen so far suffered a lot of the lack of the use of the best artwork (wich is somehow already present)
I also suggest to choose some people to write a small article about fs2, the community, fso, the mods, that could be used as a standard message for those who want to contact magazines or pimp on other communities.

well, you may be right about that
I just took several pics with the SCP features (including 32bit textures and stuff) and some of them were fantastic! (they can be found at www.geocities.com/anandraj_singh_d/SCPpics.zip copy and paste and be warned- it is around 700kb)

But these models are quite limited, and make some of the SCP features look like well.....not-so-good.
