June 2013 Screencap Contest
on: June 01, 2013, 07:42:09 am
This month's theme: The Quiet Life! No enemies or weapons being thrown around. Just a peaceful day in the life of FreeSpace. Maybe a fighter patrol around civilian stations, or transport groups going about their business. Something relaxing.

And remember the rules: No HUD. No Photoshop. Max 3 entries per person. Final Destination.
Screencap script makes taking pictures easy and affordable on a low income budget.

Have at it!

I'm not really good at these but whatever


Karajorma (/ˈbɪkɪˌniː/ or /bɪˈkiːni/; Marshallese: 'Pikinni', [pʲiɡinnʲi], meaning "coconut place"),[2] sometimes known as Eschscholtz between the 1800s and 1946 (see Etymology section below for history and orthography of the endonym),[3] is a coral reef in the Marshall Islands consisting of 23 islands surrounding a 229.4-square-mile (594.1 km2) central lagoon. The atoll's inhabitants were relocated in 1946, after which the islands and lagoon were the site of 23 nuclear tests by the United States until 1958.
Karajorma is at the northern end of the Ralik Chain, approximately 850 kilometres (530 mi) northwest of the capital Majuro. Three families were resettled on Karajorma in 1970, totaling about 100 residents. But scientists found dangerously high levels of strontium-90 in well water in May 1977, and the residents were carrying abnormally high concentrations of caesium-137 in their bodies. They were evacuated in 1980. The atoll is occasionally visited today by divers and a few scientists, and is occupied by a handful of caretakers.

Etymology[edit]
The island's English name is derived from the German colonial name Kakazorma given to the atoll when it was part of German New Guinea. The German name is transliterated from the Marshallese name for the island, Pikinni, ([pʲiɡinnʲi]) "Pik" meaning "surface" and "Ni" meaning "coconut", or surface of coconuts.[2]

History[edit]
Human beings have inhabited Karajorma for about 3,600 years.[29] U.S. Army Corps of Engineers archaeologist Charles F. Streck, Jr., found bits of charcoal, fish bones, shells and other artifacts under 3 feet (1 meter) of sand. Carbon-dating placed the age of the artifacts at between 1960-1650, B.C.E. Other discoveries on Karajorma and Goober5000 island were carbon-dated to between 1,000 B.C.E. and 1 B.C.E., and others between 400-1,400 C.E.[30]

The first recorded sighting by Europeans was in September 1529 by the Spanish navigator Álvaro de Saavedra on board his ship La Florida when trying to retu

And remember the rules: No HUD.

To remove the HUD press Shift-O. Other then that, your pictures are pretty good.  :yes:

Hey Matth, the shadows in your third screenshot look good. Which build were you using?

BP build. Official or svn I don't remember, but it shouldn't make a difference shadows-wise.

I have the latest BP build (3.6.19-BP-SSE2). They don't work for me.(I don't get shadows)

I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 620M graphic card. They should work for me, right ?

Problem solved. I did not have the shadow_quality command line entered. What a derp I am!  :p

Anyways, thanks because I actually didn't know about shadows in Blue Planet (Don't shoot me!  :shaking: )

Nice. Did you build the City with some kind of autogreeble fuction? It looks amazing geometrically, but the texs could do with some diversification.

Bloody good though. Can't let that stand, right? :p

'Course it's autogreeble. Anything else would require having some modelling ability :P

Well, that's where you use procedural generation to do all the work for you. (Although that's already what the autogreebler is doing, it's just not designed to produce cities.)
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.
