screenshots on the website

Update the screenshots on the website when you release a new version of the game. The ones up right now don't look like the VO I just played at all.

ITS TRUE!

NOT true. With the exception of the hud, everything you see in the screenshots you can see in the game. It'll just be a bit further away, but we have the increased ship speeds to thank for that.

Agreed with Bob Dole. It's essentially a couple of hours of devwarping around in fullscreen mode and saving screenies from Targa files to JPEGS. Then just post 'em. Easy-peasy.

What would be GREAT is to get some group-combat screenies to post, that would require some more coordination.

Maybe some corvus snowflake-jumble screenies like these: (but someone with a better video card with everything turned up)

Or something with the Trident or Capships:

Perhaps we can have a submissions thread! Post'em and let the devs choose!

Awesome, Kix. (Someone's been crackbotting.... hehe)
Feb 23, 2006 KixKizzle link
Not recently :(
And FOR THE RECORD!
I crackbotted for the explosions.
Not the levels.
Though I wish I did it a little more cause when someone tells me they got 500 xp from killin me... its just great.
I think I might start levelin just to see how much xp someone can get from killin me.
I mean that's just cool when someone levels from killing a person.
And it NEVER happens.
GOSH!
PPL SHOULD BE WORTH 3X!@
Ok I'm done.
Feb 23, 2006 LeberMac link
LMAO, someone's a little defensive... Hehe.
I agree, Players should be worth 3x. And I don't doubt your skill in killing, Kix, never did!

I intend to shoot some new screenshots once the new ships are in there and such.

We've also wanted a user-submitted screenshot dealie for a long while, but it's been on the back burner. Perhaps in the next website redux (not far out). It requires a submission and administrive/approval interface, to let guides approve shots and keep people from posting porn or whatever, so that's why it has been put off to date.

What I want to know is how on earth you people get such high quality results from the screen. I mean, really. It's like, I tried taking a screenshot

and it looks... rubbish.

You have your graphics settings turned way down there; go into video and graphics under options to turn them up (though if you don't have a good GPU, you may experience some low framerates with them turned up).

Speaking of that, devs, any chance we could have the 'Video' and 'graphics' control panels consolidated? it's really confusing to have them both....

Thanks Cunjo.

Ok, before and after.

Resolution is 1024 X 768

Hopefully it's better, anyway.

Hi, I haven't finished putting the new ships in the game yet. See earlier post.
Apr 27, 2006 mgl_mouser link
I know. I'm just yanking your tail. Also a nice way to show the flood of noobs we had recently that the issue has been looked at. Many times.

bump!

Eh!

There's been a number of submissions already. How about you give us the size and list of things you're looking for and some general guidelines (aka, hud settings, regular UI or custom skins etc)? We could bring out a whole bunch for you and then you'd only have to make your picks.

Ok...sorry Chikira for nabbing this picture of you but here it is =D

Maybe it looks good enough. Maybe it need more.
