I think that antialiasing or something would be good for screenshot taking so the edges aren't so sharp.

I take my screens at 1600x1200 and then size them down.  No one needs a screenshot much bigger than 800x600 anyway, and the downsizing takes care of the anti-aliasing.

And I didn't get a chance to take that screencap that I was looking for before heading home.  Try me again after New Years and I'll get that sorted out.

Fishguts spewed this out in the FSU imagery.

I find it quite nice.

Wait, what ?

That was more a praise for Strat's beautiful Medusa, than SCP pimpage.

It's missing any of the pretty background nebulas. Someone who has them installed, should do a shot of a HTL-Medusa wing escorted by a HTL-Herc wing.

Who gives a ****? If it's pretty it goes. Don't fight the pretty. Pretty is what it's all about in adevrtisments.

That and, sex.

When you put it on the Wiki you advertise. That image is pretty enough.

It's pretty but with small changes like background nebulae it could be much better.

Even with background, it just looks more...polygonated and boxy than the Perseus. I mean, I hate to be Mr.Negative here, but the reason I put that pic up was because it was so unusually good. :p Even this seems like a better candidate than that pic. (Although it's rather small, and I still think the Perseus one slightly beats it because of the sheer detail you can see on the model.)

However...I'm interested to see what you can come up with.

Photobucket resized that image to it's current size. I still have the original large PNG on my HD if you're interested :p

This was suggested for posting here, so:



Sure, it has got the HUD, but then it IS a game, after all... :)

Oh Wow... I really like that one. It doesn't exactly fit all the guidelines, but who really xares - it sows the dramatic improvement in the engine, and it shows a few of the features that weren't mentioned in the initial brief, like the nameplate and 3D Radar.

In fact, I'm going to put it up, but keep in mind, this is a wiki we're workling with - nothing is neccesarily final. If anyone has an image that can trump it, post it here and we might be able to change it.

I certainly don't xare. But then again, I never really did, either. :p

As for the picture, it is good, but it'd be better to get a less compressed version. Due to the sharp lines of the HUD and jumpnode, the compression shows up far too visibly.

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.

The image isn't compressed;  the board will do that if your screen resolution is not great enough.

Trust me, my screen resolution is plenty large. :D

The image is compressed. It's a JPG. JPG's are always compressed. See?
