Oh, oh. That Arcadia looks a bit different than the one we know ... it is a bit flatter.

Erk.
That Arcadia model... it's the one from the intro rather than the game...

The FS1 intro Arcadia has more details.

It's the arcadia from the FSRef bible (or website, probably) if I'm not mistaken.

Heh, can't they make their own damn images? They've ripped everything straight out of FreeSpace... haven't even bothered to render it themselves.

Where are the stars in that picture? It suggests they did not take and in-game shot.

Nah, FSREF used renders of the models - it was one of the first things that did! Except now the SCP models look almost as good as true renders, so they could just use PrntScrn in that ;)

Indeed. The armaments are way too un-freespacey.....
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

You realize that's more guns than the Collossus in about 1/10 the volume right? ;)

Wouldn't that be OTT though, if it hadn't been cancelled?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
