The Lucky (and Unusual, or Funny or Unbelievable) Screenshot

Post by BeidAmmikon »

Hi there. I jussst thought it would be cool if we'd possst sssome unusssual ssscreenshots, like lucky and unexpected sssituations. Sssomething like the following (all these are from TC, and expect more - I've had quite a long strike of luck yesterday and want more of it :) )

A Mako Vanguard offered for <20000:

Hacking the IBL forge in Loomy's:

Buying 3 IBLs from it:

An NPC station with 6% hull (I don't know what's happened to it):
[ external image ]
A bailed Demeter with some goodies onboard:

EDIT: 2009.09.09-Added more attributes to this thread's title: Funny, and Unbelievable.
Let's have a WOW/LOL at this X-Universe.

That flower farm in Ceo's Doubt is always getting beat up by passing pirates. It looks like a passing Teladi patrol may have saved them from certain destruction in the nick of time in this case. It may not be there next time you come through. :fg:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Nice screens.

However, I've seen a worse station than that (pity I didn't get a pic).

Duke's HQ (of Duke's Buccaneers) had 0% hull left (a whopping 10 points, according to the info pane).

I left it like that, because I wanted the "Duke" to sweat anytime a pilot tried to dock......

More luck = Buying all 10 PBGs from the hacked forge in Loomy's (I don't know what to do with them, guess I'll just brag about it here :P ):
[ external image ]
BTW, does anyone know what's the build interval for one IBL? I want to buy the 4th one for my Tiger 8)

Come on already, post your lucky screenshots!

sorry dont take screenshots :\

but the build interval i believe is around 3 hours. .. just keep the forge happy and check on it now and again. Nobody but the player will buy them before they reach 4.. so you should be good.

I got mine from the yakis, they are easier to keep happy (they have their own spacefuel... )

Don't have a screenie for it but if you want to play a game where you force yourself to cap everything you use or for some other reason don't want to buy jumpdrives. A good place to cap them is on civilian and supply TLs. I cap a TL with the jumpdrive intact roughly 40-50% of the time.

Is that from an old version before the build rewards were fixed?

From the series "You What?" - An Argon Arena with 5000+ passengers is being attacked in The Wall by two insec... erm... a Buster and Buzzard.
Nope, my 3 Marines aboard the Iguana that I've called in didn't make it to the TL, as they made contact with it exactly when it went up in flames (I picked'em up though). :roll: (The Argon are "friends" but I couldn't pass this opportunity at the first capture in my DiD game... :twisted: Which was An Epic Fail of a Capture (TM) - waited too long until I decided to call in the TP)
[ external image ]
Don't try this at home - call in the TP earlier than I did.

@EmperorJon - Nope, forging an IBL in Loomy's, at 1x production rate, takes 3 hours. Now I'm waiting for their 5th IBL to join my Shrike...

Already posted this one in a carrier spoilers thread, but I think it still is a candidate:

So I jumped into the wrong TUS while doing an Aldrin mission. Khaak everywhere. So I put the ship in reverse and went to get a sandwich.

Wow, that's a HUGE picture...
3 KM2s against a Tokyo (or vice-versa) is an amazing view anytime.
The gravidar (BTW, does anyone find a real use for it?) seems to be from the XTM. :gruebel:

Its the combat HUD used alongside CMOD 3. I heartily recommend the use of both mods :)

From the series "Wozzat?" - I believe this Argon Titan in Home Of Light is bound to use this humongous weapons depot one way or another, regardless the fact that it cannot mount 32 IBLs... Or can it? Hence, the "?" in the upper-right corner :roll:
