It's a space station from back in Beta. The screenshots haven't been updated since then. :D Welcome to Vendetta Lukasn!

All the featured screenshots on the VO site are mind-boglingly outdated.
All pictures predate the actual release of the game. They are from the Alpha or beta days. Almost every sector shown and every station shown are non-existent. it's a constant source of confusion.
It's been suggested MANY times over to redo the screenshots. Players even submitted dozens of screenies for replacement but this has yet to result in an updated list of screenshots.
This particular station you this image does not exists in the current universe.
Do everyone a favour and, you too, ask for them dang images being updated!

Although I agree the screenshots need to be updated, I think that A) The devs have a huge workload as is, B) I'd rather the devs be working on pushing the game to their vision and C) I find the old shots interesting, seeing as I wasn't even around for release time.

Inc's on it once the new ships are in the game.
Moldy, we're talkin about screenshots here. That should take a good 5 minutes supposing that you have Dev Warp capabilities.

On a side note, it would be REALLY cool if they put back in some Ceres stations. It'd be nice to have something besides the boring component stations once in a while.
Its an old alpha station in s11! I agree rogue, it should be sort of like a pit-stop or a remote outpost station distributed around grey and the like
I'm having dejavu like mad here. Didn't we have this thread a year ago?
Actually with the center hole, it looks more like a wormhole opener O.o
Anyway I would like to see some beta and alpha stations return, some of them could play actual roles in the storyline which needs to start moving forward. Inc should take a day to update them, he could get out about 100 good shots in a day and fix new players from being confused.

or no time at all - there's no shortage of players willing to take the screenshots themselves, and many of them have already supplied good ones; the only thing that would take time and effrt from the dev's end is the posting of them to the website, and I don't imagine that would take too long.

You are all right, of course. The screenshots need to be updated. The screenshots could very easily be updated by removing old/adding new images from this folder on the website:
http://images.vendetta-online.com/screenshots/
With the thumbnails of those new images going here:
http://images.vendetta-online.com/screenshots/thumbnails/
The thumbnail and the image would have to have the exact SAME name, but be in different folders. And that's how you would add new images.
The page generates the thumbnail at the bottom of the "leetmenu" with a javascript code snippet:
<script language=javascript src="/js/sotd.js"></script>
The actual javascript looks like this:
function sotd() {
imagename = "http://images.vendetta-online.com/screenshots/dump0002.jpg"
thumbname = "http://images.vendetta-online.com/screenshots/thumbnails/dump0002.jpg"
iwidth=800
iheight=600
document.write("<a href=\"Javascript:OpenImage('"+imagename+"',"+iwidth+","+iheight+")\"><IMG SRC=\""+thumbname+"\" border=1 class=popup width=100 height=75></a><BR>")
}
Clicking on the image opens up a new javascript-called browser window:
javascript:OpenImage('http://images.vendetta-online.com/screenshots/dump0002.jpg',800,600)
I'll bet that if we supplied ready-made 800 pixel by 600 pixel full-rez images, with 100 pixel by 75 pixel thumbnails, we'd see results faster.
I would volunteer to do this, but I have a sneaky suspicion that John and the gang would rather control their imagery themselves, and not let users post all kinds of crap.

I'm sure they would, but that shouldn't stop us from forming a panel to suggest additions - let the devs handle the actual posting (since it obviously doesn't take long) and we can supply the imagery
