Lovely skybox

[deathfun]

I concur on that Skybox
I however, disagree that this isn't a good place to discuss modding things either.

Afterall, what are we celebrating? Mods/Upgrades for FreeSpace essentially.

Sidenote: What is the ship attacking? It'd of been nice to see the ship getting destroyed...

[TrashMan]

I liked the Japanese fighter, though I can't remember the name.

Nagiata or something...
Phoenix (the one with the "beam" gun) FTW

Best fighter in that game - period! Beam gun, gattling guns with auto-tracking, another set of heavy guns and a good missile payload.

[-Norbert-]

But if I remember correctly the Naginata was available very early in the campaign. And who needs auto-tracking anyway .

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Pictures more! Random shots from testing ASW2.

[Deadly in a Shadow]

Wuuut.

I recognise that skybox (because I use it too, that galaxy is awesome). So you combined the skybox with red nebula?

Or are these red nebula bitmaps or is that a modified skybox?

May the last days of the Ancient Empire begin.

some day i'm gonna do an ancient campaign

[MatthTheGeek]

Play Derelict. It's quite ancient.

Nice cruiser/corvette there... a new phaistos?

I've got one with Ancients as antagonist ... wanna help? 

[Firstdragon34]

Nice! Can't wait!

I combined the galaxy with a red-nebula skybox Droid803 made in Spacescape. It's the new Verbek background.

Nice cruiser/corvette there... a new phaistos?

It's the next generation of Ancient corvette. Active front-line fleets get the best and newest material; the player's fleet (Sopul Fleet) is the first to deploy the Mochlos corvette in combat. That's how they got the lead ship of the Akrotiri class too.

And testing continues...

The Serio stealth fighter on recon duty.







This Cain really gets some!



Lucky shot getting the Nightmare missiles up close in this one.





Malia vs. asteroid.



Remember that the Malia is a sensor cruiser, the Ancient equivalent of AWACS: those glowy domes are the sensor arrays.



I don't think we've shown many pictures of the front of the revised Malia yet...



After an intense fight, our hero returns his battered fighter homeward.

I love the background in this one: http://i.imgur.com/smiPX.jpg
Except for the sun, which reminds me of shivan blob turret.

[Qent]

Okay, seriously, lvlshot please?

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Okay, seriously, lvlshot please?

No, that would stretch them beyond original size on any screen above mobile phone size. I shall not let my pictures get raped like that

[Qent]

They're twice my window size on a 24" monitor.

[T-LoW]

They're twice my window size on a 24" monitor.

... what resolution does it run on?

[mjn.mixael]

they are 1024x768 images.. so his monitor must be 640x480...

[LordMelvin]

Quent didn't say monitor size, que said window size. It doesn't matter if you're running at 1080, or even up at 4k res if you're limiting yourself to a tiny window over on the side of the screen...

[Qent]

1920x1200. The browser window is ~900 px wide on the right side of the screen. Of that, ~650 px are filled by the screenshot. I don't think this is at all unreasonable for a layout, because reading incredibly wide paragraphs of text is difficult.

I should have said "half the image is visible," because "twice the window size" doesn't mean quite the same thing.

[Aardwolf]

Or we could just petition the administration to make lvlshot not upscale stuff.
