Email button under my message and just attach them to that. If you have a lot of big ones (bytes size wise), then send a couple per email, or zip the lot up first and attach the zip.

Printscreen. Above the arrow keys, above insert, on the standard k/b layout.

I think someone said if your in a window, shift-Print screen only takes a shot of the current window, where normal print screen takes the whole desktop.

Click on thumbs to enlarge, the name of the ships are in the descripiton (not sure about the first on though).

Hope they're of some use to you.

...are my biggest complex in Ministry of Finance, showing succesive zoomins looking from a mine at one corner towards the rest. There are about 30 stations attached to it.

ZeinMine complex, SPP L, a pair of Crystal Fabs around the docking point, and two mines, along with supporting factories.

Thanks.

Liked the tour and the menu ones. hadnt thought of that, but it will give good feel for the game to include shots that have that sort of content.

The trick will be if its readable smaller or not. Something to play with.

Edit : Been thinking about it, and it would be good to have a good cross section of the messages that get thrown up. particularly XI payouts and Assasination payouts and pics of the targets.

Anything else that shows the variety of the game too.

Hey, you're welcome.

That pic of the end-of-tour award was my best touring mission, I got to see 5 sectors and spaceflies twice starting from Omnicron Lyrae, got me 2.5+ million credits for the trip, which is better than anything except a XI mission, and I didn't even have to shoot anybody to get it.

Thumbs up to ApricotSlice for working on this, looking forward to the end-results....

Me too :)

I've had only a few game time hours in the last week. I have my nice shiny new Fortress to play with, thanks to a new mod, and no time to play with it in.

Was proof reading all today, and only got half way through.

Bounce.

I still need a lot more pics. Menus, payouts, ships, factories, anything, everything.

If your playing, start blazing away with the print screen button instead of the trigger for a while.

Please ?
