and here are some screenies from FSCZ containging these pretty new effects:


 

The construction yards of the Ganges system. Production is ready to commence. The system contains 4 other nodes, and will become a highly contested hub soon.

 
New Stalingrad, a fleetbase ready to be taken......

could you put them together a bit more smoothly?  (for example on your second pic, put a few weak whisps around it) Give them volume, keep whisp scaling to a maximum of 2-4, while you can scale to 4-6 with main images without a problem.

And, when you've got the background done...

Please extract the background spew from the mission (from NotePad) and PM / email me (do NOT send emails to my hotmail address - it isn't called 'unused' for nothing) - I could really use any background compositions I can get.

Everyone who submits a composition that will be used will be mentioned in the altered campaign credits. Doesn't that encourage some of you to help me?
:)

-edit: so far I only have ONE composition made by the community, and that would be Solatar's background.

I told you that Lightspeed's Nebulae were godly...

As for the basis of making more, how many do we have already? A bunch? But there is, of course, no limit to how many beautiful eye-popping candy that can be presented, nay?

I think everyone should download the nebula's for future campaign usage because when they are completely put together into a package, I sure's hell am going to use them.
