That's pretty good. I wonder if they've actually played Blue Planet or they just picked a random image. :p

Is that from BP...?  :wtf: I'm somehow unsure. That's a nice skybox, nicer than the BP one...

That's a GTD Raynor with a Bellerophon in the background, and it looks like a couple of Hercules. The Raynor does not have nameplates - I suspect it's something they threw together to make that image.

EDIT:

Wait, I think that's a "GTL Anemoi" in the corner. . . and I think there's only one mod where the Raynor and the Anemoi are in the same campaign.

Yes. There's a hyperion at the bottom which is next to the Anemoi, at the left side there's a Bell and a Chimera behind it (to the camera). Pretty sure it's BP AoA, or at least based off of it. I don't think they made that shot, though, since the article is supposed to be about retail FS2, I think. They probably lifted the image from somewhere.

It's from an early draft of an AoA mission when it was using a BtRL planet as a background.

Actually, considering the number of contributers towards making that pic happen, I'd say the pic is a pretty good community effort.

It's disturbing though that they used that pic for a retail description. Sounds like the lister barely even played FS.

This happens a lot - Inferno pics get used plenty. Consider it a credit to the community's ability to fill up Google Image Search.

Hah. They didn't blunder with FS2 alone. The picture in the article of Mass Effect 1 is actually from part 2. The graphics in 2 is a bit better and that race in the screenshot (Battarians, if I remember their name correctly) only existed as background story in part 1.
And no they didn't mean the whole series, only part one:

The sequel is excellent too, but I’ll always choose the original because it knew how to engage you.

And I was very surprised to find X-Com 1 and Planescape: Torment in there. I agree totally that they belong there, I'm just surprised they do too.

 
Actually, Batarians were added to ME1 in the Bring Down the Sky DLC if I recall correctly.  Since those Batarians aren't wearing Blue Suns mercenary armor, I'll say they're from BDtS.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

They used a Homeworld 2 shot for Homeworld 1. 'Nuff said.
