The show is on again.

This screen taken from a test video is one of my favorites. It shows two identical capital ships after a long and hard fight. Well the right one is done. It is just one second before it is going to fade away in an epic explosion. You can see there a lot of debris all around. And if you look close enough you may discover some fighter wrecks. So those big ships know how to handle fighter attacks.

The left ship survived until now but I don’t know if it can go on after the right is gone. No one knows.

So we're looking at some pretty epic explosions I guess.

Identical cap ships? might be the view angle, but I can't see the resemblance between the two.
And that blue arc, that's bad news for sure. Better not be next to it.

those are good looking ships, the reason the one on the right is almost unrecognisable is as stated it been blown to hell by the other capital, definately one surviving fighter close to the ship (not for long). the drone in the middle bottom. with the shockwave graphics will add a new dimension to hit and run especially if it can effect ships.

Excellent pic, thanks for sharing, hope we can all experience it soon. As it mentions it is a still from a video lets hope to be able to view it a few days after gamescom. (i doubt before as could be part of a presentation at the event).

Lets all post positive views about the new screenshots, negativity will not encourage more, which i believe 99.9% of us want.

Take note Deepsilver: it doesn't require any hype to keep your existing fans - only a small picture is enough.

Well Iifrit said this The left ship survived until now but I don’t know if it can go on after the right is gone. No one knows.

So I am going to assume it will affect surrounding ships

Woah! I got caught off guard when I saw that EGO had released a new pic. The graphics/quality of this picture is making me think it's recent (or at least more recent than the ones we were getting).

Thanks for the cool pics. Kudos to the art team. Love some of the new graphic style elements and cues. Really gives it a new different feeling than previous games. I love the direction keep it up.

So I guess this kinda tells us that cap ships wont me modular, unless this to ships uses identical modules? Ofcourse, I suppose surface elements still are there, but beyond that, theres nothing we can do to change the appearance of a cap ship?

I'm find by this by the way, as long as there is a handful of cap ship to choose from.

Either that or they are modular and they just have the same modules.
