I'd like seeing a good render with the Vigilant going down in a nice blaze......

Yeah, it was inspired by the scene from the command brief.  I was gonna experiment with making subspace effects as well but I just can't get it right yet.

That'd have to be VERY deep in outer space...outside the galaxy, because the stars would still provide some illumination, and I assume the vessel wouldn't be patrolling just empty space, but a jump node somewhere, which is in a system with a sun.

Light sources from distant stars wouldn't be that bright would it?

As for why the Vigilant was out there...
All information relating to the mission is classified level Rho


Oh and I didn't include a star field for this image simply cos it looked like sh!te with the whole low light effects of the image.

Yeah, its out in deep space so, the only real light sources would be the Shivan beams.

When playing 'Their Finest Hour' it seemed pretty bright at the Gamma Drak node.

I know but I had to come up with some excuse as to why it was so dark.  I really just wanted to go for effect and the Vigilants death seemed appropriate.

Ambushed, alone in the dark and without a hope of rescue.

ok this is pissing me off now, when ever i click a link relating to warpstorm it just goes to the hompage, is this normal and me being dumb, or is summit reall screwy going on (and yes i have tried copy and pasting)

[Wildfire]

No, its not normal.  Hmmm, anyway if you want to see the image just look in the archives.

Sorry, I can't help you with the link problems.

Moody little render there. I like.

*thinking from the earth intel ANI*

[Styxx]

I'm sure it's based on the ani. Is there any problem with that that I fail to recognize?

[Ulundel]

The quality is almost same. Remember the small pic from lucy entering the sol node...?

Your right.  I was playing the game again and saw the cutscene.  After that I thought I'd have a go at trying make a scene from it myself and I thought the results were pretty nice.
